It’s okay to “Bee”
Just “bee” without any fret
Just “bee” contented
Release any pain
Let go all uncertainty
Turn over the keys
Relaxing is hard
Whence comes the ability
To just simply “bee”?
Psalm 42: 5-11
5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.6 My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.7 Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.8 By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.9 I say to God my Rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?”10 My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”11 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
To “Just bee” in peace
Gratefully receive God’s good
Live life without lack
Gratefully receive
The grace God is giving you
To see your blessings
“Just a little more”
Is not the way to JUST BEE
Praise God for your gifts
The real truth is
We have more than enough
To live gratefully
Take a look around
You might just be overwhelmed
When you really see
See all your blessings
We are so much better off
Than most other folks
Let Us Pray
(from In Touch devotional by Charles Stanley)
God, it is easy to focus on that is wrong in my life
rather than what is right.
I find myself overwhelmed
by all the injustice, pain, and division in the world.
Forgive me for the times I’ve chosen to feed negativity,
to spread hopelessness among my friends and family.
But I’m not alone in my grief,
You are heartbroken by these things, too.
So Lord, I pray for Your guidance in sorrow.
I want to lament all that is wrong –
without being consumed by it.
Teach me to balance grief
with the assurance of Your love.
May my heartbreak, empathy, and faith
play a role in Your healing of the world.
Amen
So, let us just “bee”
Bee friends; Reach out to others
Live life without lack
We’ve more than enough
Of God’s love and compassion
Jesus gave it all!
Let’s distribute what we have
To make life better…
for everyone!
To just make your world
“bee” a better place today,
What can you just give?
Love,
JanBeek
