Todays Prayer

Father, thank You for the strength I need to
overcome in every area of my life. I know that You hold the days of my life in
the palm of Your hand. I believe that You have equipped me with everything I
need for spirit, soul and body in Jesus’ name. Amen.



Children a blessing from God

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Children. They’re a gift and a blessing from God himself.

As parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, it’s our duty to set examples for the little ones in our lives.

Our words and, most importantly, our actions are what they see and follow. Everything we say and do gets absorbed like a sponge and then emulated.

If they see us pray, they will learn to pray. If they hear us singing praises to God, they will learn to praise God. If they hear us cussing someone out, they will learn to do the same.

We are being watched!

Knowing that our lives are examples for the little ones in our lives should give us good reason to make sure we do what is right in the eyes of God.

As they grow up, they will do what they have seen us do, so let’s set a good, godly example.

In the precious name of Jesus    Amen

 



Turn down the worlds volume to hear Gods voice

Prov 10v19:”Don’t talk too much, for it fosters sin. Be sensible and turn off the flow!”

 

Have you ever hung up the phone and felt as if you said too much? Have you ever wished you could take back something you said? We often learn the hard way that words can cause pain and create problems. Too much talking also clutters and consumes precious time.

When we are quiet, listening to others or reflecting on our own conversations, we can see more clearly the ways that we use and abuse words. We may use words to rationalize, to lie, to deceive, or to manipulate. In silence we remember the words we speak in anger and slowly in apology, arrogantly in accusation and humbly in confession. In silence we become aware of how Satan can fill the world with such noise and confusion that we cannot hear the gentle whisper of the Lord.

Often those who have achieved great things in the world have spent significant time in intentional silence. In that silence, God has spoken and renewed them. Silence can help break the power of words over us, so that we can listen to the Word himself and be renewed as well.

To hear God’s voice,  turn down the worlds volume.

In the wonderful name of Jesus ,  Amen
