Don't Worry, Be Happy

“I don’t have a sense of needing anything personally. I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy!” ―Philippians 4:11–12, MSG

 

Really, Paul?  Do tell! What is the secret behind your “don’t worry, be happy” attitude? Our world is hungering to know.

Please join me this week for my Don't Worry, Be Happy series on the ZooKeepers Ministries website. Take good notes as Paul shares his age-old formula for true happiness. This is one recipe you’ll want to stash away for future generations!

Table Talk

“Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God."

―Luke 14:15, NIV

In my generation and even more in generations prior, the table was the centerpiece of family life. Has conversation around the table in the twenty-first century taken second place to cyberspace? We think: How rude. Yet, if we take a serious look at our own table etiquette from Jesus’s vantage point, we might be a little slower to judge others who have detached themselves from table talk.

Let’s examine our own table life this week and see if our behavior at the Lord’s table is any different.

The Daily Load

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,

as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.”

―Colossians 3:23, GNT

Brother Lawrence, a seventeenth-century French monk stated, “We ought not be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.” Join me this week for my 5-day devotional series for ZooKeeper's Ministries, The Daily Load, and focus on listening for God's voice in life's routine chores.
