Over prepare, then go with the flow.
Take the time to read the bible more each day. You can’t be over read in the Word of the Lord. Then when your time is up here on the earth you’ll have the inner peace to go with the flow to Christ.
So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. The Faithful or the Unfaithful Servant.
Matthew 24:44
“Love lost can be love found.”
Jesus said to his disciples, “Love one another as I love you.” Jesus set an example that we should follow. Challenge yourself to put a smile on someone’s face that makes them feel better about themselves.
Deep waters cannot quench love, nor rivers sweep it away. Were one to offer all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly despised.
Song of Solomon 8:7
The real act of discovery is not in finding new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.
Discover a positive attitude by seeing everything through new eyes; eyes that see the good in others and the wonders of God’s planet. Then, thank the Lord for your new view.
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus,
Romans 15:5
Living well and beautifully and justly is all one thing. - Socrates
We tend to compartmentalize our lives: work, personal, friends, spiritual, financial, health and recreation. Some days, it may seem that they all compete with each other and may even compromise your identity. Ask God for the strength and integrity to let all facets of your life radiate from one core set of values.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
One of the greatest mistakes you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
Fear not! Have faith! Live life and learn from it because the only thing you truly have to fear is temptation. Overcome that fear with the knowledge that the Holy Spirit is always at your side.
Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Matthew 26:41
We can never know the depths of God’s power unless we attempt the impossible.
Is there something in your life that you have a desire to do, but have been afraid to take the first step? Pray for the courage to move forward. If it is meant to be, God’s power will be the catalyst necessary to bring you success.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be he must be.
As a Christian you must share your faith, love your fellow man, and follow the teachings of Christ to be at peace. Take an inventory today to make sure you are being all you can be as a Christian.
Anyone who is so “progressive” as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:9
Hanging onto a grudge is letting someone you resent live rent-free in your head.
Let go of any anger you have towards someone who has hurt you. These negative emotions serve no purpose – evict them and enjoy piece of mind.
A slave of the Lord should not quarrel, but should be gentle with everyone, able to teach, tolerant,
2 Timothy 2:24
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
Do both. Follow your heart and you will find that improving the world also brings satisfaction, accomplishment, and joy. Do both. Enjoy.
Happy the just, for it will go well with them, the fruit of their works they will eat.
Isaiah 3:10
Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
When it comes to your faith and trust in God, don't blink. Hold strong and steadfast in your beliefs, especially during the trying times; it’s at these times that He focuses His full attention on what you need.
My deliverance and honor are with God, my strong rock; my refuge is with God.
Psalm 62:8
The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Our lives have become so complex. Ask God for the wisdom to narrow down your priority list in order that you can more effectively handle the things that matter. Make sure God is your "Main Thing" and you will view your priorities differently.
Therefore, from the day we heard this, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God,
Colossians 1:9-10
When you rush, you forget who you are and Whose you are.
Before you rush into your day, take a moment to talk with God. Do not wear yourself out worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures. Keep looking to God as you walk through your day together.
Daleth - Be still before the LORD; wait for him. Do not be provoked by the prosperous, nor by malicious schemers.
Psalm 37:7
God will always forgive you, but don’t take Him for granted.
Focus on one of God's blessings you take for granted each day. Pray each day that you will learn to appreciate the simple things.
The LORD has removed the judgment against you, he has turned away your enemies; The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst, you have no further misfortune to fear.
Zephaniah 3 :15
And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here. - St Augustine
Christ selflessly gave us the gift of everlasting life, but had to physically leave us to do so. Renew your faith in Christ this Easter by looking deeply for Him in your heart through prayer, meditation, and loving deeds. Easter eggs are hidden; Christ isn’t. HAPPY EASTER – The TAGteam.
Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
John 11:25
Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in springtime.- Martin Luther
Every time you see a leaf this weekend Think About God and how He gave his only son to us to forgive our sins. Think about the renewal of the leaves on the trees and your own personal renewal through Christ.
Not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,
Titus 3:5
Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.
Rely on God's teachings to help you better understand how to overcome your difficulties.
Wisdom is a better defense for the wise than ten princes in the city,
Ecclesiastes 7:19
Trust in God endures forever.
Throughout your day today and everyday make a conscious effort to look to God at all times. Need Help? Trust Him for guidance, love and answers and you'll find unlimited blessings.
II - Now I know the LORD gives victory to his anointed. He will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory.
Psalm 20:7
When was the last time you got in an argument because you got what you wanted?
Most of our daily conflicts are a result of selfishness. Before you allow your emotions to overwhelm logic, seek a solution that is grounded in fairness. Do unto others…
Chapter 4 - Causes of Division. Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from? Is it not from your passions that make war within your members? You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you cannot obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you do not ask.
James 4:1-2
The Lord is my light and my salvation of whom shall I fear?
The only thing you need to fear is temptation. As you travel through your earthly day eliminate your temptation to sin by viewing things through God’s light. Listen to your heart and make decisions that will be pleasing to Him.
No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it. Warning Against Idolatry.
1 Corinthians 10:13
