GOD OF EVERYTHING

The LORD is my shepherd.
I lack nothing.
He lets me rest in grassy meadows;
he leads me to restful waters;
he keeps me alive.
He guides me in proper paths
for the sake of his good name.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger
because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff—
they protect me.
You set a table for me
right in front of my enemies.
You bathe my head in oil;
my cup is so full it spills over!
Yes, goodness and faithful love
will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the LORD’s house
as long as I live. (Psalms 23:1-6 CEB)

GODS LOVE

God loves us all. He sent His Son Jesus as a final, ultimate sacrifice, for all to have a chance at entrench life. If we'd only just believe...

COVERED BY HIS GRACE

He who the Son sets free si free indeed!
No sin can keep you from the love of God. Love hard. Do what God would have you to do and move forward! Follow your dreams. Or ask God for a new dream...

Jesus left his mark with His Spirit. Our debt (sin) has been paid in full. For His grace is suffucient.

When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we get the gift of His Grace and His Righteousness. Once we begin to believe in Jesus Christ, our sin is credited as righteousness. So Forget about your past and love one another. Give others the gift of Jesus!

GOD IS AWESOME!!!!!!

ITS YOUR INHERITANCE

Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. (Galatians 4:21-23, 28-31 NIV)

NO LAW, JUST JESUS

So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? So also Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:5, 6, 24, 25, 29 NIV)

FEARLESS WEALTH

When God blesses one with wealth, He gives them the ability to keep it and to keep busy. God won't give you wealth if all you want to do is sit down.

"Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart." (Ecclesiastes 5:19, 20 NIV)

HARD WORK - GOOD REST

The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
permits them no sleep. (Ecclesiastes 5:12 NIV)

ADVANCEMENT IS MEANINGLESS

Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. (Ecclesiastes 4:13 NIV)

Never be too great to pay attention. Seek wise council in all things.

NOT EASILY BROKEN

Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV)

GO INTO THE CLOSET

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:6 (KJV)

The things we do in secret have a tendency to be the things that mean most to us. Get in the habit of praying in secret, where it is quiet, and it is only you and God. This allows us to be open and honest, unaware of pretences and fully committed to communicating with our Heavenly Father, God.

SOW AND REAP

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. (Malachi 3:10 NIV)

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. (Habakkuk 2:2-4 NKJV)

Trouble will not last. You will have your promise. Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

SORROW

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. (2 Corinthians 7:10 NKJV)

EVERYTHING I AM MEANT TO BE

God created me and you to perfection.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them! (Psalm 139:13-17 NIV)

OMNIPRESENT GOD

God is everywhere. In every thing.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. (Psalm 139:7-12 NIV)

DID I WRITE THIS

This chapter in the Book of Psalm is reading my mind, my every emotion is here.

How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalm 119:103 NIV)

MY PRAYER OF LOVE

Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart— I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands. Praise be to you, Lord;
teach me your decrees. I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word. My soul is consumed with longing
for your laws at all times. Your statutes are my delight;
they are my counselors. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord;
do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands,
for you have broadened my understanding. Never take your word of truth from my mouth,
for I have put my hope in your laws. I will always obey your law,
for ever and ever. I will walk about in freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts. It was good for me to be afflicted
so that I might learn your decrees. The law from your mouth is more precious to me
than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Your hands made me and formed me;
give me understanding to learn your commands. (Psalm 119:2, 10, 12, 14-16, 20, 24, 31, 32, 43-45, 71-73 NIV)

DAILY NUGGET

The way up is down. Humility. Whoever desires to become great, Let him serve. Great things are ground out from the dust of the ground. God does great things with dust. Exceeding, abundant, above all else... be of service to others.

LOOKY LOO!!!

And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year." When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him. On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. (Genesis 17:18-23 NIV)

We are free from sin and not slaves to sin. Keep in mind that the covenant for Abraham is with him and his wife (Isaac) and not him and his slave (Ishmael) making Isaac the beginning for fulfillment of the promise to Abraham.

Remember, in order to have eternal life, one must believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, our atonement for sins. You must believe in Him in order to get to The Great I Am or God Almighty.

Please friends remember, you cannot believe in one and not the other. I love you but Gods love is everlasting! I pray that His wisdom is with you all always! Jesus is LORD.

PERMISSION TO TEST GOD

This is the one time that God allows us to test Him and watch Him pour unto us that do...

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe," says the Lord Almighty. "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 3:10-12 NIV)

WISDOM OR FOLLY: YOU CHOOSE

The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty,
but diligent hands bring wealth. Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
but the name of the wicked will rot. The wise in heart accept commands,
but a chattering fool comes to ruin. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs. Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense. The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool invites ruin. Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues. What the wicked dread will overtake them;
what the righteous desire will be granted. The fear of the Lord adds length to life,
but the years of the wicked are cut short. The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil. From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom,
but a perverse tongue will be silenced. The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. (Proverbs 10:1, 3, 4, 6-9, 11-14, 17, 19, 24, 27, 29, 31, 32 NIV)

GRATEFUL

I am overjoyed this morning as I think of God and all His wonders... The earth, the trees, the oceans and their boundaries, and just a multitude of great works! I am truly grateful in every sense of the word, in awe and humbled. I bow to you OH ANCIENT OF DAYS. How excellent is your power and glory!

And God speaks to Job out of a world wind...
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb; When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band; When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors; When I said, This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop! (Job 38:4-11 NKJV)

SNEAKING AROUND MAKES THE ACT MORE ENJOYABLE

Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell. (Proverbs 9:17, 18 NKJV)

Mischievous behavior entertains the devil's company. It seems like fun but has an everlasting consequence. Be wise and live long. Wisdom is openly available.

TRULY BLESSED

My daughter was born 4lbs 6oz. Now she is a sprawling 8 months and counting. We could not be more happy with our gift from our Most Gracious Father, God. Our five year old is his sister's biggest fan!

New relationships seem all shiny and bright until you get to know him more

My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding, That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge. For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell. Lest you ponder her path of life— Her ways are unstable; You do not know them. (Proverbs 5:1-6 NKJV)

In the beginning, one's new love interest shines like new money. Then as they reveal their true selves, they seem all scuffed and damaged. Some have the potential to be renewed, while others are just trash trying to pass themselves off as worthy. Beware!

MYSTERIES AND WISDOM

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!

Mysteries... http://bible.us/Rom11.33.NIV

The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool to the left.
Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense
and show everyone how stupid they are (Ecclesiastes 10:2-3).

The fool hath said in his heart,
 There is no God.
Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good (Psalm 53:1).

NEW LIFESTYLE

I am happy to say that I am changing my life to fit the Bible, instead of changing the words of the Bible to fit me. I can remember debating my interpretations of the Word of God in saying "Does He mean this or does He mean that?", He being God. Yet, I have learned to read and await interpretation. Some things hit me like a tone of bricks while others have to await devine interpretation. With the information I know for sure, I put it on like a coat; it covers me and allows me to be known among heaven's angles. I love it! I am a student forever.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes (Ephesians 6:11).

Cast Your Cares

Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (Psalms 55:22).
Sometimes, things in life get so thick, we cannot see our way our, around, or through to the other side. One may ask, is this it? Am I capable of recovery? Will I see the end, or will I die right here in the middle of my problem? The answers to these questions are either negative or unknown if you do not believe in God. God came in the flesh, in the form of a man, as Jesus Christ to save us. He loves us and wanted to be reconcilled with us by submitting himself as the the ultimate sacrifice. When He died and was resurrected, Jesus left us with His spirit, His peace and His joy.
