Romans 8:37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

I was falling into discouragement as the devil left his calling card a few weeks ago when my website was hacked with all my previous three years of teaching of the Word and encouragement to others being wiped out. Determined not to submit to the hacker we’ve prayed and worked to have  all the previous devotional blogs and videos restored, but the subscribers file was deleted when it was hacked.

It would encourage me so much if all my subscribers would please take the time to subscribe again to my website margaretmearnsbass.com to freely receive my daily manna devotions, weekly blogs and videos. Let us persevere together that we may have the victory over the enemy’s scheme. Thank you all so much for supporting my ministry in this way. God bless you and remember to walk with the King and be a blessing!

Are You Longing to be Happy?

Many Americans express dissatisfaction with life, despite the fact that we have more of the world’s good things than any other country. The richest country in the world is inhabited by the highest percentage of depressed and unhappy people.

We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.  

All the things we think we absolutely must have in order to be happy are only indications that we are controlled from without rather than from within. It is an endless trap that we can never escape as long as we think that ownership of something is going to fill the void. When will we ever be satisfied with enough ‘stuff’? The Bible warns us that we will never be satisfied:

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Proverbs 27:20 

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have:for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Hebrews 13:5

What a thrill to participate in the Scottish Tartan Parade yesterday with our Scottie, Mr. Knightly and Westie, Iona. Over a hundred West Highland terriers and Scottish terriers joined the Tartan Parade to the swirl of the pipes as thousands of spectators waving their St. Andrew’s flags lined Sixth Avenue.

The Grand Marshal of the 2015 parade was the Scottish actor, Graham McTavish, star of the series “The Outlander”.

Having been born in Aberdeen and raised in Belfast the sound of those pipes bring a tear of homesickness to the eye and a longing for my ain folk.

Before leaving for home we spent a few moments relaxing to enjoy the beauty of spring at Rockefeller Center under sunny skies with a reverberating lingering sound of “Scotland the Brave” in the air, two weary puppies and meditating on my heritage.

I write in my book “Developing A secret History with God” about being thankful for our historical roots.

“In the Bible, God uses chapter after chapter devoted only to genealogies, therefore our historical roots must be very important to God. You are who went before you, rarely unique and yet part of all those who went before you. Your heritage is who you are today.

God planned for generations to have the ‘gene’ pool He could pull from to make you! Do not tread upon His sovereign planning, for He knew the character, personality, abilities and talents He would need when He drew up the blueprint for your life. Do not belittle your ancestry because you are who went before you. Your genes were in them. If you are trying to be someone you are not, you are not being true to your root structure. Shakespeare said it well: to thine own self be true.”
