• Listen to My Prayer

  “Save me, God, by your power and prove that I am right. Listen to my prayer and hear what I say.” Psalms 54: 1,2
  Sometimes we need the Lord’s support in knowing that we have lived the best life in his service. When obstacles come our way, we can come boldly before the Lord and ask what we will and expect his answers.

• Only a Fool…

  “Only a fool would say, ‘There is not God!’ People like that are worthless! They are heartless and cruel and never do right.”

• Bless Others in Secret

  When you do good deeds, don’t try to show off. If  you do, you won’t get a reward from your Father in Heaven. Matthew 6:1
  It is understandable why some people like to give anonymously. Sometimes it is too distracting and noticeable when people inform others of the giving of alms.

• Steer Clear

  “Words of wisdom spoken softly make much more sense than the shouts of a ruler to a crowd of fools. Wisdom is more powerful than weapons…” Ecclesiastes 9:17 & 18
  It is easier to listen to a person speak kindly and diplomatically than to listen to a loud person who babbles.  Find the time to learn new things and obtain wise counsel. Wisdom is so powerful that it can be used as a weapon. Fools don’t know how to handle wisdom [...]

• Stay in His Shadow

  “Live under the protection of God most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.” Psalms 91:1 (African American Jubilee Edition)
  Everyday I try to stay in the shadow of the almighty God. In his shadow I find protection, joy, love and favor. Walking in his shadow means that he shields me from the sun. He shields me from the heat of the day. In daily life it means that he shields me from the drama and attacks of the [...]

• Count Your Blessings

  There is a song that was written that says, “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings, see what the Lord has done. Count your blessings name them one by one. Count your many blessings and see what God has done.”
  This song encourages us to not only to count blessings but to take notice of even small blessings. We should never take things for granted but realize that all sized blessings are blessings just the same. Whether [...]

• Enrich

  What is on your agenda for today? Does it involve enriching someone else’s life? It would be so wonderful if that was the case. Encourage someone today and lend a helping hand to someone who needs help. You will find that you own life will be enriched as well.
