Don't Give Up!!!

My daughter told me the story of a college student who had to see one of his professors about an urgent matter. The secretary was expecting the professor back soon. The student waited. One hour slipped by and the student began to get tired of waiting and decided to leave. Guess what? Two minutes after the student left the professor came into the office. Only 2 minutes later.

Waiting is hard to do

Today, I want to encourage you to hold on for the thing you are hoping for. A change is coming your way. You may be at your wits end and cannot see the of the road, do not get afraid or nervous, frightened or give in to your circumstances. Everything or everyone might have failed you, your expectations might have been dissappointed in the past but do not give up. Stay put, try again, ask again and you will get a breakthrough.

While waiting

Keep your focus, pray daily for God's help and guidance, read and practice the word of God, stay in his presence and hope in his love and goodness. WAIT!

Prayer Changes Things

Prayer changes things and we are assured that as we pray God will help us and guide us.  In the book of James He said that Elijah was a man like us. That means that Elijah was subjected to all human frailties like us.  One minute he is on the mountain the next minute he was hiding from a woman.  How many times we have allowed fear and circumstances to get us down even to the point of paralyzing us.  Elijah prayed and God responded to his prayer by stopping and sending rain. Even so God will respond to us as we pray. We don't have to be afraid.  Prayer is talking to God with love. It is not how long you pray, how loud you pray but how earnest you pray. It is all a 'heart thing'. God sees our hearts. Jesus said "go into the closet and pray" and He will answer you openly. Pray for and about everything. I know that God loves and cares for all of His children and He is just waiting for us to call on Him. He says that "we should call on Him and  He will answ...

Count Your Blessings!!

Count your many blessings see what God has done! As the year closes we may be tempted to think of the negative things that might have taken place in our lives. Let me encourage you that before you go off on a negative rant, think of all the good things that has happened to you in spite of. Take on a new attitude, call it an "in spite of -I am grateful attitude." I am Blessed! Whatever it maybe, you have made it to the end of 2011 and now ready for 2012. You have more mountains to climb and more valleys to walk through. You are not getting weaker but in Christ growing stronger. You are not just going to be a conqueror, you are, according to God's word, "more than a conqueror." The fact that you are alive makes you a candidate for God's blessing. So today "count your blessings" and as the song says, "name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." You are blessed, so be a blessing to someone. Have a Happy and Bl...

Teach Me to Number My Days

The psalmist asked God to teach him to number his days so that he can apply his heart to wisdom.  Clearly, he had something of great significance to make such a request.  That is, he had a teachable spirit. He was willing to learn (the way of truth and wisdom) that would enable him to have a better understanding of knowledge to better walk and live a life of truth. What Moses Knew : 1.  He understood that his days are limited. 2.  He knew that he needed God's wisdom to live. 3.  He had a teachable spirit. 4.  He wanted to live in a culture of correction. 5.  He knew that success in life depended on the knowledge he gained that gave him the understanding he needed to apply his heart to wisdom. Our Prayer today should be Lord teach me this day to so that I may apply my heart to wisdom.
