The scripture tells us that God is a God of justice, equity and fairness; therefore, we should not question his methods or his decisions, but trust that He has our best interest at heart.

Things can busy and crazy in our lives, but there must come a point where we stop just patching things temporarily and resolve to get the job done correctly. Though time, effort and money may be spent, it is well worth getting things done right!

Though movies about time travel are fun to watch and often have intriguing plots, we know there is no such thing as a time machine. As we see from these depictions, if we did go back to a certain point in time and change something we did or said, it would then affect everything thereafter. If we live the life we have been given to the fullest, then we will not live with regrets, nor with the feeli...

When we become a family, we are in this thing called life together for better or worse. We live, laugh, love, cry, and grieve together. Knowing someone has our backs makes it all worthwhile and doable, and adding Jesus into the equation, is the glue that holds everything together.

There may be something to the saying, ‘It’s not what you know, but who you know.’ Networking is not a new concept and was very prevalent in Bible times. We all need each other, and we definitely need to know and be known of the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

When reading the Word of God, He does not lead us to believe that everything is going to be peaches and cream all the time, but he does give us promises that He will see us through every step of the way.

Think about not only what you say, but what you do. Non-verbal communication can often speak louder than words. If we would allow God to do his job and go about our day just showing mercy as we have also received mercy from Him, we would be much more content and need less doctor’s visits!

If we would take a moment to look around us, we would see that the blessings of God on our lives would be innumerable. May we make this our normal practice daily rather than always being a moaner, groaner and complainer. God is good!

The Comeback King God is not waiting to hit us over the head with a Billy club when we mess up. The Word of God says, “…He is not willing that any  should  perish, but that  all   should   come   to   repentance .” God is in the business of restoration.

Maintenance is a part of life whether it is physically, emotionally, financially, or spiritually. Anything that is worth having, is worth taking care of. Ignoring a problem will not make it go away but will be only create a greater expense in the end. We must take the time to do necessary repairs in our lives because fences have a purpose.

Never feel that technology or others can take your place. Anything is this world is here as an outflow of the intelligence, creativity and diversity that was instilled in us by our creator. God has created us as a complete being, with a mind, soul, and body, and we are instructed firstly, to love Him with all of our being, and secondly, to use it for His glory.

Just as many of the biblical characters we read about in scripture, we are called and chosen by God for a particular time, place, ministry and purpose. Use the tools, gifts, and talents you have to impact your world.

Music and song are close to the heart of God. They are seen as scripture as a means to praise and worship God, as well as a way to put memories and events, whether victories or defeats, to music, so that the legacy and history can be passed down to the younger generation. What is your story, your testimony? You can share the goodness of God in your life with others, through song.

Everything we do in life, from the smallest action to the biggest decision we will make in our lives, will impact someone else in some way. A tree that has been standing for over fifty years may look majestic, strong and independent, but it still relies on the nutrients in the soil, water and oxygen to continue surviving. We need each other, and we cannot survive without God.

Difficulties in life do happen to us all, but we must remember that they are temporary. Our attitude and outlook so often can be the deciding factor, not whether a trial or problem will come our way, but how it will affect us and how soon we can get through it. Jesus said, “In the world ye shal l have tribulation: but be of good cheer;   I have overcome the world.”

If we do not learn to let things go, our lives will begin to look like we are hoarders, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The scripture tells us, if we are in Christ, “old things are passed away and behold all things are new.”

The only two things that being a person of character and integrity takes is, reliance upon God and a backbone. Though telling the truth is not for the faint of heart, it is what reveals your heart and is pleasing to the Lord.

Psalm 46:1 tells us, “God is our refuge and strength, a very  present   help  in trouble.” We do not have to struggle to get by on our own. He is present, aka with us, and desires to help us, if we will let Him.

You have heard it said, “Don’t put your eggs all in one basket.” We must have a contingency plan and be prepared for the unexpected that will inevitably come into our lives. The principles we live by should become second nature to us.

We do not need to look any further. The Word of God has the recipe, that gives us the perfect blend of ingredients that we need to live a successful and joyful life. So, why not enjoy!

Scripture admonishes us to be quick to listen but slow to speak. Being a ‘know it all’, or as we used to say, a ‘nosey parker’, is not attractive. We must let our voices be used for good and allow the word of God have the final say.

Though we are all human and experience fear at times, we should not allow them to identify us. The Lord is delighted when we ask Him to deliver us from them, because He already took them upon himself at Calvary.

God is present, not just a ‘Higher Power’ watching over us from a distance. When we call on the name of Jesus, he hears us and will respond. We see miracles happening in our lives daily and we should proclaim it! Shout from the roof tops, use your voice and influence, so that everyone will know how great our God is!

Intimacy in marriage is so close and special, that scripture uses this analogy to describe how close our relationship with the Lord can be. Both should be cherished and nurtured daily and are well worth the effort.

It is said that if it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. This statement covers almost everything we will face in our lives, whether it is material possessions, emotional wellness, spiritual soundness, fulfillment in ministry, and more. Even listening is an exercise in waiting that we should practice daily.
