My Own Opinions 01.02.2024 3:48 ↓

My Own Opinions  Proverbs 3:5 TPT Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on Him to guide you.   The classic writer, Hannah Whitehall Smith wrote, “Mind the checks.” So many times I have remembered these words of wisdom. They have saved us from many disastrous events. For example, we were in Kenya where a wonderful team of skilled workers had he...

Our Divine Calling Ephesians 4:1-4 TPT As a prisoner of the Lord, I plead with you to walk holy, in a way that is suitable to your high rank, given to you in your divine calling. With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience. Be faithful to guard this sweet harmony of the Holy Spirit am...

God’s Plans Proverbs 16:1-2 TPT 1 Go ahead and make all the plans you want, but it’s the Lord who will ultimately direct your steps. 2 We are all in love with our own opinions, convinced they’re correct.

My Times are in Your Hands 28.01.2024 4:18 ↓

My Times Are In Your Hands   Psalm 16:5b-6 TPT I leave my destiny and its timing in your hands. Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places. I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you, for you have given me the best!   The enemy of our soul comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Jesus came to give us life, and I love this part, to give us life more abundantly. He doesn’t want us...

A Contented Life 27.01.2024 3:41 ↓

A Contented Life   Proverbs 10:27 TPT Living in the worship and awe of God will bring you many years of contented living.   Since I was a little girl, I have always felt the Presence of the Lord in my life. Oh yes, there were those teen years where I questioned God and would wander off to the right or left of the straight and narrow path, but then I would eventually make my way back to center. Whe...
