100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 31

Psalm 143:10

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

The greatest thing we could ever do is say "God teach me" and He will come running. The next greatest thing we could ever do is to acknowledge Him as your Lord and Savior. No, that is the greatest thing you could ever do and then the next best thing is for you to ask Him to teach you and to lead you into the path where you were meant to follow.

If He has your heart, He will move heaven and earth to come to where you are and commune with you. He loves you, longs for a relationship with you. There is no one else like you. You were created in His image and He knows your every thought.

He is a good God. He's the only God. He's a living God who can't wait to dwell in you. You will be changed, renewed, and used mightily to change the world.

He will teach you everything you need to know about Him. He will teach you what you need to do to serve Him faithfully. He is a great teacher. He's a great listener. He gives out homework, yet doesn't punish you for failing. He's willing to pick you up after you fall. He has done it all. He's the Lord of Host. The Lord God who has conquered all.

He's the Mighty God. He is Able. He is the I Am. He's everything you need Him to be! Don't walk towards Him but run mightily into His outstretched arms.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day30

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Don't settle for anything this world has to offer. I know it is easier said than done. There is a lot of temptations out there but believe me, there will be a price to be paid if you go after them. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but it may have an effect on your grandchildren or your great grandchildren.

Love not the things of this world but keep your mind on Christ. You can do it, I can do it, we can do it by getting into God's word then believing what He says and just live the way He wants us to live. If we obey, we will be in His perfect will for our lives.

How do you know if your in His perfect will? Knowing the word and living it on a daily basis. This is not some fly by night operation. It's a commitment. A life long commitment but there is nothing greater than walking the path that He intended for you to walk.

Walk gracefully, read the word daily, and love thy God with all your heart, and together, we can change a nation!

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 29

Proverbs 16:3

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

It's all about the Lord. Our thoughts, our plans, our actions and everything we go to do should all be for the glory of God. Nothing of us should be found in what "We say we do for Him."

There can be none of us just more of Him. Give Him your heart, your dreams, and you everyday life and watch and see if He doesn't come through for you.

See if He doesn't make your path straight, and your life worth living. Go ahead, give Him your all and watch Him pour out all of Him on you because He loves you and wants only good things for you.

He has a plan and purpose for you. Life that is more abundant that what we can ever think or dream. Nothing is to small for Him. Nothing is to big for Him to overcome.

So go ahead. Live big, live large, but just make sure He's first in your life and He'll move on your behalf.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 28

Psalm 137:7-10

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.


He's there. He's there no matter where we go. We can't go to far away from His grasp. We can't hide where He can't find us. We can't run to the ends of the earth where His hand doesn't reach out and pulls us back.

He knows all. See's all. Is all. He is Omnipotent. All knowing God who has conquered death by giving power over to His son to rise from the dead.

If He can raise Jesus from the dead, He can raise us too. No matter what we get ourselves into. He's always willing to come to our rescue. See it's all about family for Him. That's all He has ever wanted and He will move heaven and earth for one of His members to return home and join in the celebration.

He gave the greatest gift of all. His son so that we might be saved from ourselves as well as the enemy. This proves He will do whatever it takes to bring you back into the kingdom. Join the family reunion today. It will totally change your life and guarantee you a seat at the wedding.

Come feast at His table and be filled. Drink what He has to offer and you will never thirst again. One day, His family will be a powerful family and will shake the world and we will find you and bring you back to the party even if you hit the highway or the bi-way.

You are loved. You are needed. Our family isn't complete without you, and the Father is sending you a personal invitation to experience His love for you. For you see, there isn't anywhere He won't go. There isn't anyone He won't send, just for you. He loves you that much.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 27

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

He, Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, King of Kings, part of the Trinity, soon coming King, says He will never leave me or forsake me.

What a promise. What a promise for today. In this world of craziness, I need to meditate on this morning, noon, and night. I need to let this promise resinate deep within my soul so when trials and tribulations come, I will immediately know my King is with me.

He said He will never leave me no matter what. I don't know about you, but my trials take a toll on me. I need to encouragement every day, every hour, every minute, every second to get through the day and the days ahead.

The world has gone mad. Shootings in movie theaters and in colleges and any where people dare to gather, I need reassure that when I leave me home, I don't leave alone but someone is walking beside me, talking to me, guiding me along life's path.

God, I need Him, and I'm going to let Him know just how much by talk to Him, thanking Him for all that He has done, being obedient when He tells me to do something, and by loving on Him every breath I can.

Doesn't He deserve at least that? After all, He has promised He would never leave Him even if I choose to walk away. He will be waiting for return and welcoming me back into His arms.

Indeed, He deserves the glory, the honor, and the praise that should sing from my lips every time I walk back inside my door after a long day in the world. The world doesn't hold anything for me, I just want my friend who loves me and is waiting for me to acknowledge His very essences and presence in my life, my home, and in my every day life.

God Bless.

Deuteronomy 7:9

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Indeed He is God. A good God. A faithful God. No one is learning to believe that than me. I have been threw some pretty tough things lately and He, my I Am has been there for me. He has shown me mercy and a love so great I'm still trying to comprehend.

Great is thy faithfulness, O Lord. Great is thy love, O Lord. Great is are You in all things and in everything. Thank you for no longer being mad at us. Thank You for sending Your son to die for us. Thank You for keeping Your end of the deal. Thank You for not giving up on us. Thank You for Your mercy that is new every morning.

Thank You for caring about the next generation. Thank You for keeping Your promises to me and my children for a thousand years. Thank You for never allowing Your love to fade on me and my family and my families family.

Great indeed is thy faithfulness. Indeed You are God and I praise you for all You have done to save a lost and dying world.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 25

Psalm 18:19

He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Did you know that God delights in you? Did you know He believes in you more than you believe in yourself? Did you know that God loves you that He sent His own son to die for you?

Did you know God is someone you can trust? Did you know that God is someone you can run to with all your problems without fear of being laughed at? Did you know that God will never gossip on you? Did you know He's like the perfect secret brother? Did you know that He is a big God and able to do above and beyond what you can see and think?

Did you know that He enjoys giving you the desires of your heart? Did you know that He's the perfect Father? Did you know that He's nothing but good? Did you know that He rules over His enemy's as well as your own? Did you know there is no one you want better on your team? Did you know He is the perfect adventure? Did you know He is waiting to be your superhero?

You can trust Him. He will will bring you out of the biggest storms of your life whether He has to walk on water or by just telling the waves peace be still. He loves you with a love that is eternal. He will give you the strength you need to cross over to the other side and equip you with the essentials you need to walk through hell and back without smelling like smoke. He is an awesome God. He wants you as part of His family.

Why does He cry out and long for you and speaks to you in the night and in the morning and throughout the day? Why does He send people cross your path to talk with you about Him or save you from a unpleasant situation? Why does He use people to annoy you and force you to become a better person? Why does He waste all this time on you?

Because He delights in it. It gives Him great joy and pleasure when He sees His creation becoming the person He knew from their mother's womb. Just think, this makes Him touchable. So, go ahead, reach out and touch the Master, He's been waiting for you.

God Bless.
