• Examination

  Examine yourself today and see where you are. Where do you see yourself in five years? How about ten years? Do you have plans and goals for the future? What is it that you really want out of life? Have you asked God what he wants you to do with your life? Do you already know your purpose in life? Take some time to think about it. Think about what matters in your life and what makes you happy.

• Walk in Humility

  “Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life.” Proverbs 22:4
  Have you ever met someone who was “stuck up?” The thing that most people don’t like is to have to deal with people who think they are better than others. Boasting and prideful ways can cause one to lose friends after a while. But the word of God promises wealth, honor and life to the one who fears the Lord and who is humble.  Steer clear [...]

• Turn

  ” Turn my heart toward your statues and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. ” Psalms 119:36, 37
  In my everyday walk with the Lord I want to always remember what he has done for me.  It is important that my focus stay on the things of God.  It is difficult sometimes to balance everything in life and temptation is ever present for exclusive personal gain. With distractions all [...]

• Trust Him With Everything

  “To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God” Psalms 25: 1
  In perilous times like these it is quite apparent that trust is a valued jewel and may not often be found. I trust God with my soul and my heart. He will listen to me when I need to tell him what is going on with me. I can cast all of my cares on him.  Trust him with everything about you [...]

• Grab a Hold

  “Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work – this is a Gift. ” Ecclesiastes 6: 19
  “When God allows us to enjoy our work and to gain in a just manner more than we need for our necessities, we must consider that what we have  is a gift from God to be used to help others and to advance God’s cause on earth.” [...]

  Take some time to think about your future.  Thank God for what He is going to do even though you may not see it yet. That is part of living the lifestyle of faith. Having faith pleases God. Please Him today.

• He Will Hear

  “O Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy, in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.”
  Psalms 143:1
  “..this psalm describes a believer who is facing overwhelming troubles and feels he has reached the end of his endurance. All he has left is prayerful hope that God will revive him again and deliver him out of his great trial.” (Study notes, NIV)
  If you ever get overwhelmed take comfort in knowing that God will come to your rescue. He [...]

• Team Work

  “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.” James 4:7
  In the times that we live in today it is easy to get side-tracked when it comes to challenges. Challenges make us stronger but they are also distractions. When the enemy tries to tear us down he is forgetting one thing. God’s power is greater than his. All we have to do is submit [...]

• Bam! There It Is!

  “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.’” Mark 10:27
  This is a powerful scripture. Imagine the possibilities that can come to pass with this statement. Do you have any problems or situations in your life that seem impossible to solve? Have you ever looked at a situation and found that only God can change it? Have you ever received a report from the doctor that did not [...]
