Never called to walk alone...

2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Never be afraid of your weaknesses, cause its in our weakness that God's power is perfected. We may not be strong by ourselves but we were never called to walk alone.

Have a good night.

REMAIN IN HIM..

John 15:5

Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

What a beautiful reminder. So many times we think we can make things happen on our own & when they don't work out we get upset. But this verse serves as a reminder that without God we can do nothing. But WITH HIM, we can do ALL THINGS! Let's REMAIN in HIM!

Good Night :)

Don't be Afraid

Luke 12:7

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

There's no worse feeling then feeling alone when your in a group if people. Feeling like no one can relate or understand you is also just as painful. When we feel alone & don't know our self worth, any step we'd like to take forward can cause ALOT OF FEAR.

BUT THIS MORNING, God reminds us that he knows the number of hairs on our heads. He knows us better then we know ourselves. He reminds us NOT to be afraid because he's right by our side. He reminds us that in HIS EYES we are VALUABLE.

So start taking steps of Faith !

I will BLESS the Lord at ALL TIMES

Psalm 34:1 I will bless the Lord AT ALL TIMES; His praise shall continually be in my mouth

The Psalmist David said I will bless the Lord AT ALL TIMES. Why? Because he knew that he knew that no matter what life threw his way, God was faithful. He knew that GOD would never leave his side. He knew that only reason he was still alive was because of God's tender mercies upon his life.

So, today as we're starting a new week, having no idea what this new week brings, let's make sure we BLESS THE LORD. Let's make sure that the only thing proceeding of our mouths is praise onto our king. And let's remember GOD is FAITHFUL even when we aren't.

Joyful Monday.

I have hidden your WORD in my HEART

Psalms 119:11

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

When God's Word is hidden in our hearts, its a lot easier to stay on track. In our quiet moments let's take time to read God's Word. ..Even if its just one verse.Let's fill ourselves up, that way when temptation comes we have something to fight back with.

God Bless & Good Night

QUICK to Listen, SLOW to Speak & SLOW to Anger

James 1:19

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be QUICK to listen, SLOW to speak and SLOW to become angry.

Tonight as we go to bed, let's meditate on this verse and remember God gave us two ears and only one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak.

Have a great night.

Let us NOT become weary...

Galatians 6:9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

It can get tiring of doing what's right, especially if we don't see immediate results. And sometimes things may seem like there getting worse. But the Word of God says in DUE SEASON we will reap a harvest. Something good will come out of all this.

Today, DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO. DON'T GIVE UP. Keep going ..your season will come.

I lie down and sleep

Psalm 3:5

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. Sometimes we take for granted another day that we've gone to sleep and another morning we get to wake up.

BUT tonight, let's be THANKFUL to GOD for this precious day he granted us. Let's go to sleeping smiling because we know it is GOD and him alone who sustains us.

Sweet Dreams.

God has a plan

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Even when we have a plan on how life "should" be, LIFE doesn't always turn out that way. But we serve a God who has the last word. Who knows the end result from the beginning. Who has plans for our lives that we can never fathom. Who will prosper us to places we don't deserve to be. Who's plans NEVER change because "LIFE" happened.

So today,dont worry about what tomorrow or your future might look like. Cause GOD already has a plan!

Happy Friday.

Take Delight in the Lord

Psalm 37:4

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

What is your greatest desire? What are things you mostly think about? What are your dreams and aspirations? See we all have them and that's a great thing. The problem is when we don't put GOD FIRST, all else fails. When we try to make our desires a reality on our own, we actually make it harder to OBTAIN and keep.

Today, DELIGHT yourself in the Lord & he will give you the desires of your heart.

A Day of Reflection

Numbers 6:24-26

The Lord BLESS YOU and KEEP YOU; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you PEACE.”

Today is a day of reflection. To remember how delicate life is. 12 years so many lives were marked by tragedy. Lives were changed forever. So many people are walking around down and without hope.

But as believers we are the LIGHT in darkness. So let's make sure we bless those around us. Let's use the verse above and make sure that those near us know how much GOD loves them. The Word of God says it better to GIVE then to RECEIVE. Let's share a little of what GOD has deposited in our lives.

Have a Blessed Day.

Though a mighty army surrounds me....

Psalms 27:3

3 Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.

Doesn't it feel that way sometimes? Like there's an army of problems all around us? Like everywhere we turn something else is wrong. Like life is tripping us up all the time.

But today, let's remain confident that GOD will fight against any army that tries to knock us down. Let's not be afraid of what we see around us, instead let's look up at the one that sits on the throne of majesty.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

Faith as little as a mustard seed

Matthew 17:20

And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

Sometimes we don't see miracles happen in our lives, not because God can't do them. But because our faith is lacking. We don't believe unless we see. We don't BELIEVE GOD will do, what he said he will do.

Today, let's begin to THANK GOD for all those miracles that are going to take place in our lives.

Now that's FAITH!

TRUST in GOD, You will be BLESSED

Jeremiah 17:7

“Blessed is the man who TRUSTS in the Lord, And whose HOPE is the Lord.

Us as humans will always FAIL one another & ourselves. But the WORD says BLESSED is the man who TRUST & HOPES in the Lord. Why Blessed? Because GOD will never FAIL US. He will always stick to HIS WORD and every single promise he has made to us will come to pass.

STOP depending on others and on your own strength for life to get better. TRUST & HOPE in GOD & YOU WILL BE BLESSED.

Iron Sharpens Iron

Proverbs 27:17

As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Today, let's be THANKFUL for those people in our lives who make us better. Who are constantly challenging us to be the best we can be. Who will tell us the truth even when it hurts. Who will pull us back when we begin to stray. And who will stand by our side even when we push them away.That is true friendship. Iron sharpens Iron.

God bless.

I had no idea I had so many valuable possessions

Psalm 103:2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits--

ILL.- Waylon Prendergast, 37, of Tampa, Florida, committed a spur-of-the-moment robbery while on his way home from a late-night drinking session. A very drunk Mr. Prendergast forced his way into the house through an open upstairs window, filling a suitcase with cash and valuables before setting the living room on fire to cover his tracks. He then escaped through the back door and made his way home, chuckling all the way.

Only as he turned the corner into his own street, however, and discovered three fire engines outside his house, did he realize that in his drunkenness he had, in fact, burgled and ignited his own property. His comment was: "I had no idea I had so many valuable possessions.

Today, regardless how "bad" life may seem, let's remind ourselves how truly blessed we are! Having the gift of salvation is the biggest blessing of them all.

Have a Joyful Day.

I will give you Rest

Matthew 11:28

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

In this life we will all suffer from burdens, whether its financial, emotional, physical, and/or spiritual. Regardless of what burden we have, a burden is a burden. Its heavy, its draining and its overbearing. If we carry it long enough, eventually we will burn out.

But as believers, we were never called to carry this burden alone. The Word of God says "Come to me,... & I will give you rest. Today, let's stop trying to handle everything on our own. Let's give our burdens over to Jesus and rest in His Presence.

Why, my soul, are you downcast?

Psalms 43:5

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

There will be moments in our lives, when you feel totally down and out. Where no one is around you that can give you a word of encouragement. Where you can't even begin to utter what your issues are cause they are that deep. Where if you don't begin to praise Jesus on your own, you won't make it through to the morning.

But today remember, the HOLY SPIRIT lives within YOU. Don't feel sorry that no one is there to console you. Get up and begin to minister to yourself. REMIND yourself who you are in Christ. REMIND yourself that NO WEAPON formed against you shall prosper. REMIND yourself that our HOPE comes from above. And REMIND yourself that no matter what happens YOU WILL PRAISE JESUS.
