What are Woes?

I want to thank you for all your time and effort in doing the devotionals that say so much to me every day. They speak to me at times just when I need to hear those specific words. Life is hard and trying to do what God wants us to do can be hard, especially is we think we have done it wrong. Sometimes I feel like I get what he wants me to do so write and other times I am clueless. Your words give me strength.

Hi Sharon–
What you said in Friday's devotional is so true. So many times we are guilty of just quoting God's Word while perhaps unconsciously thinking of getting results in some "magical" way rather than standing on God's Word as TRUTH and in faith believing that it is so. I am currently involved in a women's Bible study at our church – it is the Beth Moore study called Believing God. Basically this is what the study is all about – BELIEVING GOD and behaving as such. It is an excellent study and I hope I will be able to stand more firmly on God's Word, in TRUE faith BELIEVING!
Thanks for all the hard work you do in sending out these devotionals everyday, and all the other work you do in ministering to others as God leads you. God bless!
In Him –

Hi Sharon:
Yes, ministry can be lonley work but it is so rewarding. There is great satisfaction in helping others. Sooo, a biigg "Thank You" goes to you for your daily messages.
Yes, I agree everything has to be "cleaned-up" inside and out. We are told to be as little children, and who could be cleaner (most of the time) lol?
Sharon, what would you say if while you were playing a hymn (a good moving one) and someone who has been having trouble even walking got up and danced? I thought it was God's doing, today I was told I should of asked him to sit down instead of clapping and encouraging such actions. My answer was - it is my service and I welcome God there. Do you think I am wrong? This is in a personal care home for elderly people. The gent is in his 80's.
