Order: The First Step to Success

Good Morning World! Chaos kills, order restores. We cannot abide without clarity in our lives for long before things begin to go progressively more wrong. Order is necessary to function at optimum capacity. Decisiveness is necessary for order to be established. God will lead if we allow, but we must move forthwith & expeditiously to make it happen. Surrounded by chaos? Pray first & stay with it. Have a great day!



Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our… Continue

See and Go

Good Morning World! When you can see the future, walk out of the past. If we don't see where we are headed, at times it can be premature to move out of the place of God's last instruction. Yet, when the vision of tomorrow becomes clear, the full manifestation is not necessary only a willingness to shed the weight of yesterday and walk toward tomorrow. Have a vision? Walk toward the light. Have a great day!

Proper Context: The Place of Purpose

Good Morning World! Being content is good, but proper context is best. We should always learn how to manage any environment in which we may find ourselves, but striving to be where we know we belong is always optimum. Proper context is found when who we are is in sync with where we are in life. At that moment, our unique purpose is revealed. Content? Good, now be best. Have a great day!



But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the… Continue

Joy the Root of Happiness

Good Morning World! Happiness is for everyone, but not until joy is established. Joy can only come from the knowledge that there is an all powerful, all knowing, God who is everywhere at all times & trust that He loves us enough to see us safely through life. When we can fully embrace that revelation, fear & sadness cannot remain for long, happiness becomes the predominant emotion. Sad? Find joy. Have a great day!



In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy… Continue

Changing the Circles of Life

Good Morning World! Check your circle. Everyone has a sphere of influence that is comprised of people who have access to our psyche. Whether we like it or not, that circle can insulate us for growth or suffocate us to death. Familiarity can be dangerous for stifling the genius that lies within. If our circle isn't participatory in our development, it needs to change. Stuck in a rut? Switch circles. Have a great day!

Be the Light!

Good Morning World! You're born but you're not buried. There is a process for determining the guilt or innocence of someone but it may not be expedient to enjoy the trials of another. By the time the dust has settled, often the damage has been done whether the judgment was warranted or not. Showing mercy & discretion for another is a better option. Tempted to weigh-in? Check your own weight first. Have a great day!



Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous… Continue

The Beauty of Nothing

Good Morning World! If you have nothing to say, say nothing. Nothing. Have a great day!

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 1:19

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:2

Sometimes less is more.

Respect: A Two-Way Street

Good Morning World! Respect is a two-way street. We can never charge our decision to injure another whether emotionally or physically as retaliation. Everyone is responsible for their actions. It is never under any circumstances acceptable to say words that harm others or tear them down anymore than it is to bring physical hurt. Words cut just as deep, pain lasts even longer. Hurting someone? Stop. Have a great day!



A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I… Continue

Let Life Happen!

Good Morning World! Lean with it rock with it. Learn to roll with the punches. If we allow every wind of trial & storm of tribulation to disturb our peace & destroy our joy we cannot be productive. Some things may be an annoyance, but most things are not important enough to lose tranquility, particularly if we know that God is in the midst of our circumstances. Being tried by winds? Let life happen. Have a great day!



My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers… Continue

Follow Peace!

Good Morning World! Follow peace. Anytime that we spend acknowledging the presence of the enemy whether in people or circumstances is time spent giving him credence. Better to focus on the positives in every situation, look for the good in all people & overlook faults. No one is perfect, most of all ourselves so it is fruitless to focus on the faults of another. Engaged in negativity? Pursue peace. Have a great day!



Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,… Continue

Stand

Good Morning World! Stand your ground. Opposition will come, there no such thing as life without it. Tears may be shed, but not for long. We must stand firm in our resolve that no matter what we face, we are not alone. We know that God is with us in every trial, through every struggle & against all odds. We will prevail. Facing a challenge? You may bend but you will not break. Have a great day!



Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee,… Continue

Servants: The Best Leaders

Good Morning World! Serve. Many people want to lead but most do not want serve. The best leader is one who is first willing to serve under authority. Submission is not an indication of weakness but of strength, the ability to willingly trust God as we support someone else to reach their potential. Promotion comes from God. Want to lead? Submit to service & wait for the door of leadership to open. Have a great day!



Let all your things be done with charity...That ye submit… Continue

Know Better, Be Better

Good Morning World! Do because we know. Religion teaches us to practice certain rituals in order to appear to have a relationship with God. Having a relationship with God requires us to seek to know trust & to live in His Word because He knows everything. Knowing Him doesn't suggest a perfect life, but trust in a perfect God to bring us to His perfect place. In bondage to religion? Be free in Jesus. Have a great day!



And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.… Continue

Tending the Garden of Life

Good Morning World! Stay in our own lane. Every minute spent focused on someone else's life is a minute of unproductive energy on our own. Everyone has their own road to take & only God knows the way to each one's purpose, calling & destiny. Jealousy reflects a lack of faith, & suggests that God didn't give us what we need to follow our own path. He is the God of all. Minding another? Mind your own. Have a great day!



God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the… Continue

Words: The Building Blocks for Life

Good Morning World! Words build or kill. We can unleash a barrage of words into the psyche of someone & do as much damage as a machine gun to their flesh. We can also release words like medicine to their mind, lift their spirits, encourage their heart & strengthen their will to be better. Speaking life changes attitudes, brightens the countenance & changes appearance. Killing with words? Speak life. Have a great day!



It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth… Continue

We Are Family

Good Morning World! Let someone in. We don't have to open up our lives to everyone, because everyone is not in our best interest. While we may go through seasons when we feel we'd rather isolate ourselves from people, that's probably the time we need to avail ourselves to someone else. God intentionally made man-kind to be family, to be together. In an alone season? Try to open up to someone else. Have a great day!



Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Ephesians… Continue

Keep The Power On

Good Morning World! Stay connected. Failing to assemble ourselves in worship will weaken our resolve to live by faith. Anything that is disconnected from the source of its power will weaken, eventually becoming unable to function properly. Likewise by the time our mind tells us that it's okay to stay away from a station of Power from our Source, the weakening process has begun. Remember your Source, have a great day!



God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to… Continue

Behold Jesus

Good Morning World! Behold Jesus. The same God that brought us from where we were, is the same God that will take us to where we need to be. The key is to shift our focus from our shortcomings to His overcoming. From sinner to saved, glory to glory, we are all in some phase of transition in our lives. The high calling cannot be achieved without the transformational power of Holy Spirit. See Jesus. Have a great day!



Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the… Continue

The True Beginning: The End

Good Morning World! Empty is good. The end of us is the beginning of God. The end of our hope, our trust, our ability, our peace, our joy, ourselves is the point of grace. In Jesus we find new hope, all trust, supernatural power, peace that passes understanding, His joy and sufficient grace. To fail to see all that He is beyond who we are is utter darkness. At the end of you? Walk toward the Light. Have a great day!



Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in… Continue

Transparent Before God: Be Authentic

Good Morning World! Be authentic. It serves no purpose to behave as though we have no flaws in ourselves or imperfections in life. Faith is not exemplified by behaving as if we have no trials but to live fully trusting in the grace of God. He is able to present us blameless before His throne. His blood covers all He has all power & His grace is sufficient. Be transparent before God, honest with man. Have a great day!



Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed… Continue
