Good Morning World! Without faith, it's impossible to please God. If we are certain about everything, we do not need faith. We must believe that the God we serve is wise enough, big enough & powerful enough to keep us. Going from the known into the unknown can be a frightful experience if we do not trust God. Yet, that's the place where clarity in our relationship with Him is found. Walk by faith. Have a great day!
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that…

Good Morning World! It's not enough to be nice, we must also be fruitful. God is a Doer. Just because we "don't" is only a start. It is selfish to think that we only present ourselves before God with a list of "I don't's". What do we do? Do we show the love of God to others, introduce them to His Kingdom and think more for their wellbeing than our own? Be a living sacrifice, then we're fruitful. Have a great day!
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the…

Good Morning World! He will not forsake us, but we can forsake ourselves. As our Lord hung on the cross, He didn't look around at men when the presence of God left Him, He looked to God. He trusted what He knew not what He felt, so He called His Father, not to men. He was beaten so by His stripes we're healed. He was shamed so we are blameless. He was forsaken so we are not forsaken. Look to God. Have a great day!
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the…

Good Morning World! The problem is not the acts of sin, but the lust in the heart. Doing things that are out of the will of God are born out of what is already in our hearts. We can struggle in our minds all day long to deal with our failures but never overcome them because the roots are in our hearts. Condemnation doesn't help, because it hinders us from yielding our hearts to God. Submit to God. Have a great day!
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will…

Good Morning World! Never struggle with time. There is a fullness of time for every situation. Once we have yielded our lives to God, we must believe that He is Lord no matter what we might face. Frustration comes when we attempt to force life to happen, peace when we allow it to happen. Find joy in each day, there is always something to smile about. Why worry? Its better to trust. Have a great day!
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my…

Good Morning World! Don't stumble. When we're going through a difficult season, we can make the mistake of looking around. If we believe the victory of Christ Jesus, we should never look at anyone, particularly those who do not belong to Him. We know that we are victorious through Him in this life & the next. We must trust God. Do not bow to sin & wait patiently for His timing. Keep the faith. Have a great day!

Good Morning World! God is sovereign. The system of the world may appear to be good but it is designed to fail. At its core is a fallen foe who illegally took authority over the world, resulting in the perversion of God's plan for how things should operate. Nothing about the world's system is good. Everything from money to marriage to music has been twisted out of its intended use. Hence, what may look good is just the opposite. For that reason, we must call on the Sovereign God when the…

Good Morning World! Remember to love. When trials & attack continue for an extended period of time, emotions can overflow. By nature we turn into ourselves for protection. Yet, we can find hope in the Sovereign God of the Universe, we can shift our focus from ourselves to His perfect love. If we can't see His love, we can lose our ability to love. That is where our hope is found. Hold on to love. Have a great day!

Good Morning World? How can we appreciate what we can't see? By comprehending what we can. Loving God is not possible if we cannot also love our brother. Honoring God for His sacrifice, protection & provision is not possible if we cannot also honor the parents who sacrificed and provided for us on earth. Everything in life is a testimony to God. Want to show God Love? Love what someone else. Have a great day!
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the…

Good Morning World! We must guard our hearts. It is through the door of the heart that we communicate with God. If we allow negative communication, strife, envy or offense to take hold in our hearts, Holy Spirit cannot abide with us. He abides in love. What is worth risking the loss of our communication with God? We must keep our hearts fertile ground for Him to speak to us. Guard your heart. Have a great day!
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.…

Good Morning World! He keeps His own. If someone professes to love Jesus (the) Christ it has been revealed to them by the Spirit of God. He started His work in them & He will finish it. Our job is to pray. If someone is in err, we may speak to them privately if led by the Spirit, otherwise pray. There is a day when HE will separate the wheat from the tare, but that His job. Concerned about a sibling in Christ? Pray!
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the…

Good Morning World. He's been there. If we take time to reflect over our lives, we can see the hand of God moving in every season. When we were lost, He whispered, "I'm still here." When we were happy, He rejoiced. When we were sad, He encouraged our hearts. When we were weak, He gave us strength. There's no place that He is not with us. Feeling alone? Take a minute & think back. He's been there. Have a great day!

Good Morning World! Speak life. Those who we love may not always do what we believe is in their best interest, but it is a certainty that we also do things that God knows are not in our best interest. Yet, He never speaks ill of us. We must speak life into others, no matter what we see. In every one there is a measure of faith, the ability to take in what we need to reach destiny. Garbage in, garbage out. Speak life!

It's all about grace. We cannot truly have a revelation of God's grace until we find ourselves dead wrong in a situation. Knowing we're guilty but asking God to come through in spite of our actions. Yet, that is the era in which we live. Sin found us guilty, unable to do enough good to be reconciled to God. But for the shed blood of our Lord, we would be without hope. Facing a challenge? You're not guilty. Be free!
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his…

Good Morning World! Go where you celebrated, not where you're tolerated. Any relationship regardless of how close, where we are made to feel as though we are an intrusion is a relationship that we do not need. Initially it may be painful to walk away, but the world will open up to us when we make ourselves available to be cherished by those who genuinely care. Being tolerated? Go be celebrated. Have a great day!
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous…

Good Morning World! Economic distress causes distress in every area of life. The more our ability to provide for necessity & comfort is threatened, the more visceral our response becomes. Yet, God knows that after our mind has rebelled, we will surrender our hearts to Him for healing. The length of time for the shaking is determined by the length of the revolt. Your world being shaken? Yield to God. Have a great day!

Good Morning World! Just know. We may not understand everything that is happening in our lives. In fact many things may not make sense right now, just know. Know that God is real & His Word is true. How He did it & how He's going to do it isn't important. His plans for us are better than our minds can imagine. Each day life brings new testimony that He is whatever we need. Confused? Know that He is! Have a great day!

Good Morning World! Some relationships are toxic for your life. It sounds harsh, but if we read the Word of God, we can destructive relationships. Abram erred by taking Lot with him. When the relationship turned toxic, he settled it peaceably by allowing Lot to choose his territory & depart. David never disrespected Saul, but instead honored him by fleeing. Is someone toxic for you? Follow peace. Have a great day!

Good Morning World! Hallelujah, through it all. When it's all wrong, He can make it right. When it's bad, He's still good. When we don't know, He knows all. When we're down, He's always up. We're we're weak, He's perfectly strong. When we don't know where we're going, He knows the way we take. With that in heart, there's never a time when we should not give Him praise. In a mess? He can fix it! Have a great day!
