Making Wise Decisions

"Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord, and understanding begins with knowing the Holy One." Proverbs 9:10 NCV

Satan is a thief and he intentionally and purposely tries to destroy your life. Jesus said Satan's mission is to steal our joy, terminate our lives, and degrade our relationship with God.

To choose God is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. It is only wise to get knowledge about your decisions. Satan wants to keep you in fear so you cannot get knowledge and make a decision.

We cannot start making decisions based on fear and anxiety. We cannot allow circumstances to constrain us. Jesus tells us to be anxious for nothing.

In the Devotion Book "at His feet" the author states, "if we let circumstances constrain us, Satan will manipulate them idefinitely, stringing us along our whole lives in uncertain, fear-induced steps.

Someone once said, "Wisdom is finding the right path; Integrity is choosing it. Find the path that God has especially for you and choose it.

The choices you make today will determine your future tomorrow. So choose wisely!

You were not created to merely exist. Choose to be empowered by knowledge and understanding. Fear will bind you to the chains of yesterday past mistakes. It is wise and prudent to trust the One who created you, instead of trusting the things you created.

True Wisdom is to be responsible for your present life so that your future can be better. You and you only are responsible for your relationships and the people you allow into your life. You are responsible for the care of your body and you are responsible for what you say. You are responsible for your finances, your actions and you are responsible for your relationship with God.

Remember Jesus is the Life, the Truth and the Way. Choose the way of one who gives you life. Choose life and live responsibly.

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed ...

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle...

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

Image
    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a...
