Speak Life
27 07 2016The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21
What we say and think are powerful influences in our lives. Every day we have to choose whether to say what we think or what God says about the situations in our lives. Our thoughts are often limited by our human understanding but genuine revelation comes from God. My pastor has asked what the world would be like if God’s people were consistently and constantly speaking God’s words. What an outpouring of love, concern, peace and hope would be evident throughout the world. Speak His words and speak life.

Look to Jesus
21 06 2016Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6-7
We can look to our Savior when we need help. When we need guidance, He can provide direction. When we need peace, we can focus on Him and calm will come. When we need rejuvenation, He can provide a renewed spirit. I am so thankful that He is always available to talk and to provide for our needs. We can honor His faithfulness to us through a dedicated life to His ways and His purpose for our living. His love for us deserves our faithful response with a grateful heart. We can look to Jesus when we need Him.

I Will Follow
25 05 2016
Lead me by your truth and teach me,
for you are the God who saves me.
All day long I put my hope in you. Psalm 25:5 NLT
When we ask for direction, the Lord is faithful to provide guidance on the path we should take. It may not be as clear as a written map with signs and landmarks but He does provide direction in which way we should go. I am thankful for His leading and respond with faith, trust and courage to step in that direction. Where He is leading is moving me into my purpose. Where He is leading is closer to Him. Where He is leading, I will follow. I know it leads into a better place of peace, a place of joy and a place created for me in His purpose. I am so thankful for His promise of leading and that is available to each of His children. We can ask for direction about each aspect of our lives, our relationships, our work, our health and our finances. He is faithful to lead and we must choose to follow.

Self-Control
24 05 2016But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Galatians 5:22 – 23
Self-Control is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It is a gift that is available to God’s children. Self-control helps us to make consistent good decisions to help us reach our goals. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I can release procrastination, bad food choices, erratic exercise and other bad habits that keep me from being at my best. Nurturing self-control and discipline can keep me to move forward, strong and focused. I am thankful that the Holy Spirit dwells me and when I open my heart and mind love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control will flow.

A Clean Heart
23 05 2016Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Life experience can leave a residue of emotions on your heart. Hurt, disappointment, anger and fear can linger and create a filter for viewing your life moving forward. It is a dangerous state of being to let negative emotions to build up in your heart. I seek a clean heart; a clear place of heart and mind. The acts of receiving and giving forgiveness can help us to achieve a clean heart. I am thankful that we can ask God for forgiveness for our shortcomings. He is faithful and just to forgive us, when we ask. We can be diligent in forgiving others. We can let the past go…. It is a liberating approach to living that will keep us focused on what is important. I seek a clean heart; a place where peace and joy dwells in abundance.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” John 14:1
