Your History is Important

284)  It is fairly common for people to look up their family history which can reveal many unexpected things. There is another history, however, that is vital for God’s children; we are challenged to keep looking back to see what God has done for us. This makes it possible to continue moving forward as history

The Source of Fruit

282)  Fruit is only healthy because the vine it grows from is healthy. It can start off good but it begins to die the moment it’s separated from the vine. Stay connected and enjoy the fruit of love, joy, piece, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. You CAN be healthy.  Galatians 5:22-23

If You Poke a Snake

278) There’s an old saying, Don’t poke a snake unless you want to be bitten. It makes sense. Paul also tells us not to provoke or poke our children to anger. This is the opposite of what God requires and may actually interfere in bringing children up to love God.  Ephesians 6:4

Thoughts Precede Feelings & Actions

275) We sometimes think we have no control over how we feel and think, but this is not so. Just like you have to train to be a good runner; you have to train in controlling your thoughts. Your feelings and actions always follow what you think. What have you been thinking? Philippians 4:8

Calming Anxiety

261)  I have struggled with anxiety for years. In my quest to become a better me, I realize that much of my anxiety stems from the fact that there are some things I have no control of. These “things” are what Peter tells us to “cast” to God. He CAN and IS in control. I

The Precious Gift of Peace

259)  So many in this world seek peace and, if they could try and buy it, they would. The Bible tells us that peace is a gift. God want to give it to you but if you want it, you must reach out and take it. Thessalonians 3:16

Amazing Grace

258) Grace is a difficult term to process. It means to not dole out the punishment or retaliation against someone that is in the wrong. Ironically, I find it easier to give grace to others easier than I do for myself. Biblical grace is not because we deserve it; it truly is amazing.  Romans 6:14

Prayer Is Not for The Faint at Heart

256)  Prayer is an act of faith. We see no physical evidence that our words are going directly to God. He knows this so we are encouraged to pray and not give up. Faith is sometimes difficult, but the blessings are huge. Luke 18:1
