On my friend Muffy’s refrigerator one day I spied a new idea for a frig magnet – buttons! What a great idea, I thought ~ my mom has a whole box of old buttons that I could use to make magnets, and they’d be fun to tack the photos on the frig with – so I sorted through her box of old buttons and began to assemble magnets. As I did so, the following button thoughts began to come to mind…
Panic button ~ when panic strikes, remember God’s provision for
peace: Phil 4:6-7 “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by
prayer and petition, make your requests known to God. Then the
peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your
hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
When someone pushes your buttons, hear God’s Voice saying,
“Testing, testing…” and pray for patience and acceptance with
joy! Ps 37:9 “Give up your anger, abandon your wrath; do not be
provoked; it brings only harm.”
Button, button, who’s got the button? Pray for those who are lost ~
Ezk 34:16. “The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back…”
Button up your overcoat, when the wind is cold ~stay close to Jesus
and He’ll keep you warm! Luke 12:49. “I have come to set the
earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” And wrap
yourself in Mary’s Mantle of Love to discourage the enemy.
Missing buttons DIN ~ One of Mom’s favorite phrases meaning: “Do It
Now!” Ps 119:59-60. “I am prompt. I do not hesitate in keeping
Your commands.”
Button up your lip and your mind if any unkind thought or word may
enter and seek to be spoken. Ps 19:15. “May the words of my
mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing and acceptable
in Thy sight.
Help! Button ~ always the best place to go to first when we need help…
Ps. 121:1-2. “I lift my eyes unto the hills, from where will my help
come? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and earth.”
Mute button ~ on the TV or radio or any of the noise in our lives ~
Ps 46:11. “Be still and know that I am God.”
May this button on your frig remind you of God’s Goodness and Love,
(Memory button?) and inspire many button thoughts of your own!
