Turning A Negative Into A Positive…

by Leave a Comment

 It is so easy in life when we get wrapped up in negativity that we can’t see the positive outcome.

We must remember that in every negative there is a positive if we are willing to look beyond the issue to find the solution. 

 How we handle our negative circumstances teaches our children how to act and even react in the future. I challenge you today and every other day to look for the positive in every negative and strive to be a positive example no matter your circumstance in life. Once you learn this step in maturity then you will not only grow stronger but you will grow wiser in your steps of the future…amen

There Is An Art To Balance…

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever really considered the art in self  discipline which is a required skill in  balancing our lives mentally, physically, and most of all spiritually?  How often do you take the time to keep these three principles in tune? This should be a task in every day that we are given, and if we are neglecting this fact then our lives can easily get out of control. 

 Think about yourself walking a tight rope that is high in the air with very little room in your step to spare. What do you see happening when you take your eyes off of the line that we are to follow? Can you see the importance of knowing where to stand? 

 We are taught how to stand in the Holy Bible from the old testament to the new.  For in the beginning we learn how stay mentally focused on God as we physically mature in life. Then as time goes on, in our physical maturity from one generation to the next, then we are set spiritually free once we learn how to properly believe.

 In everyday that we are given it is vital to know the foundation from which we stand and pay attention to our steps in life. So, I challenge you today and every other day to strive in your steps to not only keep your life in balance but to be a good example in teaching our children of the future…amen

How Do You Balance?

by Leave a Comment

When you study the word balance and look upon your life what do you see?

 Do you see your life out of order, your work in chaos, your marriage barely alive, your children out of control, or just no time for yourself in allowing God to keep you in tune?  

 In order to keep our lives in check we must recognize the purpose of self discipline and the purpose of order in all directions to maintain our balance in life. Maintaining our balance is not something that comes easy and we must accept the fact that it requires work to keep our lives in tune. It is very easy in todayssociety to feel like we do not have time when we really do, and this is exactly what satan wants because then he knows we can lose our direction in life.

 For life is not about how fast we can run or fast we may achieve a goal. It is about learning to maintain what we have been given before we can reach the next levels in life through Jesus Christ.

 I challenge you today and every other day to look around at everything which you have been given from your health, to your work, to your spouse, to your children, to your friends, to your neighbors, to your church, and most of all to God in Heaven above to see if there is something that you may need to address in order to help someone else maintain their balance in life.

 Life is not about what we gain in this world but how we leave it, and with this being said I leave you this morning with this question upon your heart,” What can you do today that will improve something for tomorrow?” Don’t just go through your day drifting along the way! Go the extra mile in everything you do in allowing the Lord to bring you through…amen

Trusting In God’s Timing…

by Leave a Comment

In the book of Proverbs 15:23 Soloman wrote,”A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!”

It is very easy in life to speak before the time but very wise when we learn the purpose of timing within the season.

So many times in life we move in following the flesh instead of waiting on God to open the door. This happens when we don’t properly understand who is really in control or when we get anxious in our youth to move before the season.

Something rushed will always fall and something built on time is when we learn to trust in God in hearing His call.

I challenge you today and every other day to trust in God and to just do your part. For when the Lord brings things together it will be in His timing and not in ours…amen

In A Room of True Love…

by 1 Comment

In the book of Proverbs 15:17 Soloman wrote,”Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred.”

With this being said can you recall the wholesome times of the meals with paper plates over those with fine china?

Life is about being real and who you are without trying to impress another.

For when we seek to please God instead of attempting to impress man then we are truly showing that we understand God’s plan.

I challenge you today and every other day to be real. Because there is a difference between fine china and a paper plate. Fine china is worthless once broken and a paper plate can be reused once it has been wiped clean even though it may be stained from the fall…amen

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
