Hide Me

This... leaving it right here.

Be encouraged. 

God Bless. 

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Inspiration 

The enemy feels he can shake our faith; he lays temptations at our feet to disrupt our journey to the Lord. We know God is more powerful than his traps, and when we place our trust in Him, He will protect our hearts and instruct our footsteps to prevent us from wandering off course. Our Heavenly Father loves us unconditionally and shelters us from pain by providing peace that passes all understanding. He will continue to shelter us from the wicked.

Prayer 

Dear God, We are grateful for Your shelter amidst the sinful temptations that cross our path. We will forsake our sinful nature and continue forward to You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

You Who

Let's just say, this is our friendly reminder about what matters. 

Be encouraged. 

God Bless.

"You who have shown me many troubles and distresses will revive me again, and will bring me up again from the depths of the earth." (Psalm 71:20)

Devotional 

The Psalmist declares that God is the rock of salvation. We often keep record of our lives based on the many bitter troubles we have endured: that was the summer I was injured, that was the year we lost a relative,... But the presence of God in the midst of each trouble should never be overlooked. There is not a single situation that He will not help us through. Instead of counting the many bitter troubles, acknowledge the presence and blessings of God in every situation. He is faithful and will revive and bring you through them all.

Quote Of The Day - No Person

Amen!

God Bless. 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Quote of the Day

“No person has the right to rain on your dreams.”

Thinking About Thinking

Just some encouragement in the words written below.

God Bless.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8)

Devotional 

Our minds easily become congested with troubling thoughts--in response to various situations. Yet, God says that daily we are to renew our minds (Romans 12:2). This verse in Philippians helps us to better understand how God wants our minds to function. These are the traits that should govern our thinking: truth, honesty, justice, purity, love, virtue, and praise. Ask God to help you develop the mind of Christ and to purge you of ungodly and negative thought patterns.

Time Will Pass Away

Some food for thought...

God Bless.

Today's Quotation:

The time will pass anyway... you can either spend it creating the life you want or spend it living the life you don't want. The choice is yours.

Unknown

Today's Meditation:

It is easy to get so caught up in the flow of everyday things, or busy chasing errands and tasks, that we forget that we are in control of our life. That is a fact. Yet in spite of this, the truth remains that we have the ability to make the choices that determine how we experience life every day of our lives.

Perhaps we limit our choices to avoid conflict, or due to perceived issues. Or maybe we are afraid of the potential outcome, or wish to not become an inconvenience. But how often does any of this come to pass? Is it truly worth our time and energy, or does it merely add needless stress and worry to our lives and distract us from what we really want?

Life tends to get away from us. Yet in spite of this, we choose how we spend the moments of our life--"creating the life we want or merely living the life we do not want." In the end, it really comes down to what are we going to allow to consume the precious hours of the life we have left?

Today's Challenge: Spend your day creating something you find worthwhile living over again.

Questions to consider:

Why do we use the word "spend" when speaking of time?

What are some things that affect how you decide to spend your time?

How do you define "the life you want?"

For further thought:

If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.

Be Strong

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. (NLT) -1 Corinthians 16:13

As we anxiously await Christ's return we must be courageously strong. A firm, steady strength is needed to overcome obstacles. This strength is rooted in faith in God. The strength of God has the power to battle any fear. Stay strong in your faith when all else seems to fade.
