Filter anything you hear through God’s word FIRST. Whatever makes it through THAT process is what you should believe. If it got past God, you have to know it is something that’s ultimately for your good. Make this confession of faith… ‘Today, I WILL trust GOD.’ Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work […]
Most of us want to experience growth and promotion in our lives. As we approach a new year, lets use more energy on the One who can provide that growth and less on those who can’t. You WILL get there… do your part and God WILL do His! Psalms 75:6, 7 – The [authority] to reward […]
We MUST learn to love people from where they are. Are they right? Are they wrong? Doesn’t matter… it’s irrelevant to love. People will never love how much you know till they know how much you love. So how bout we stop trying MAKE people change but rather increase our love game and let them […]
If you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows u-turns. Mistakes and bad choices happen to the best of us. Some guilt is necessary as it serves as a warning sign to not ‘go there’ again. However, NEVER wallow in it. You can’t unspill a glass of milk. When you know better, DO better. Jeremiah […]
Worrying about an issue keeps our hands tied to it. Trusting God puts the issue in His hands. Whose hands do you trust more? There are times that God simply does not do what we thought he should have. Don’t trust your thoughts… trust the One who created your mind. He’s been doing this a […]
We actually see with our mind, not our eyes. When we get used to a person the image we are ‘seeing’ is often off of memory and not reality. Ask God to help you hit ‘refresh’ your perspective and take another look. You may be surprised at both the treasure AND the trash you will […]
We are such a microwave generation! I’ll admit it, I’m guilty at times as well. No one wants to wait for anything anymore. If it can’t happen RIGHT NOW, many times we become uninterested. I’ve even seen times when I made a choice for something ‘less than’ simply because it was more convenient. Don’t get […]
Sandwich every criticism between two layers of compliments. It’s NOT just the fact that you tell the TRUTH. It really does matter HOW you do it. You don’t have to rip a person apart to get your point across. Quite frankly, if you want the best impact, deliver your truth in LOVE (with a genuine […]
I was going through an old study guide I had from years ago and saw a prayer that I wrote down from one of my personal Bible studies. I was going through a pretty rough time in my life. A time that everything seemed so confusing. It was this prayer that got me through. Hope […]
Do not be afraid to start again. Whether it was your decision or it was decided for you… your best days are ahead. Whatever you once felt or experienced can be tremendously overshadowed by what’s ahead. You have to just get there to see. I am excited for you! Please do not be afraid … […]
Our prayer is ‘give us this day our DAILY bread’.. not weekly or monthly. God gives us just enough nourishment for today. He designed it like that to keep us coming to Him. So don’t worry about tomorrow.. trust Him, He’s good for it. Matthew 6:34 New Living Translation (©2007) So don’t worry about tomorrow, […]
Some of God’s promises to us are like automatic doors. Nothing will happen until we walk toward them. James 2:17. Our humanity demands that we see the path free and clear FIRST.. God wants our trust and obedience first. Your movement activates the sensor on the door (God’s promise) to open.. so plan your first […]
