For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ― Matthew 6:14-55

Joel told of a locust plague that had struck Israel and which, he said, foreshadowed the “day of the Lord.” The day of the Lord was a time greatly anticipated by the Israelites because they believed that God would then judge the nations and restore Israel to her former glory. Yet, said Joel, God would punish not only the nations but unfaithful Israel as well. Joel urged everyone to repent, and told of a day when God would “pour out [his] Spirit on all flesh”

I have learned a simple exercise that helps me when I am challenged.  Sit back or lay down and breathe slowly and deeply.  On each inhale pray, "Thank you for this breath Lord" and on each exhale pray,"I trust in you Jesus."  It is simple and effective plus you don't need to be challenged by anything to enjoy its benefits.

I've come to realize over time that I'm only a horse with blinders, seeing just a small part of the picture.  I've made so many bad decisions in my life using limited, flawed and self serving information that I've come to realize that if we submit to the Lord we allow Him to take our reins and He will guide us on His clear path with a gentle touch.  Though, I still need a touch of the whip because I'm so stiff necked.

I never grew out of play, I'm 72 but I love to play online co-op video games with friends.  I get my physical exercise elsewhere but my brain is exercised with video games and I've made some very close friends doing so.  As a bonus, first person shooters have stopped the nightmares that I had from wartime PTSD!

Thank you Heavenly Father for bringing me to video games!

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore. ― Psalm 133

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”  So he answered and said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and your neighbor as yourself.’”  And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” ― Matthew 22:25-28

Having an angel fight his way to you to deliver this message to him makes Daniel a very inspiring person to me.  We are all greatly beloved by God, but to have a holy angel comfort you with this message, well, it doesn't get much better than this.

And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” [...] ― Daniel 10:19

Do not envy the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways;
For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,
But His secret counsel is with the upright.
The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the home of the just.
Surely He scorns the scornful,
But gives grace to the humble.
The wise shall inherit glory,
But shame shall be the legacy of fools. ― Proverbs 3:31-35

Let us be as jealous for God and his remnant church as he is jealous for us.

What is true?  If you see it with your own two eyes you can believe it right?  Not necessarily, if your mind can be tricked, and illusionists can do "miracles" right before your eyes, then think how easily the adversary, a powerful angel, can fool you.  Our only safe bet is in the word of God.  Faithful, careful, and prayerful bible study will unfold to you what is true, truth that cannot be altered by the father of lies.
