April 29th, 2009christianityUnto You, Oh Lord, do I bring my life. Psalm 25:1This is a very short and powerful verse. In fact it gives you the answer for your whole life: give it to the Lord.
This doesn’t mean you should bring Him just your worries and problems. It means bringing Him your entire existence and what ever it entails. Grasping that truth will set you free from weariness and a feeling of wanting to give up.
I used to get worn out preparing for my days. I used to get so intense about it and work so hard at making sure everything was done right and in place that I would work myself into exhaustion. Then I learned that all I have to do is give Him my life and everything in it. As we yield to Him, His peace fills us.
As you pray tonight, give your entire life to God and experience the freedom of knowing that whatever you face-good or bad-He has it under control.
Have a wonderful day!!

April 28th, 2009christianityI, Wisdom (from God), make prudence my dwelling, and I find out knowledge and discretion. Proverbs 8:12There is a lot of powerful information in this small Scripture-information you would do well to explore. In the Scriptures, being prudent means being good stewards or managers of the gifts that God has given you to use. Those gifts include time, energy, strength, and health, as well as material possessions.
Each of us has been given a different set of gifts, and each of us has different abilities to manage those gifts. It is your individual responsibilty to develop knowledge and discretion as to how you can best use your gifts. You do this by listening to the Lord and obeying what He tells you to do.
Following Wisdom is an excellent choice-one that will bring you many blessings!
Enjoy your day!

April 28th, 2009christianity, religionFor as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7You make a mistake when you have the opinion that your thoughts don’t affect other people. You can often feel the thoughts of others, and they can feel your thoughts.
Your thoughts not only affect others, they also affect you in a most amazing way. This verse in Proverbs teaches you that you become what you think.
If you think loving thoughts, you become loving. But often you think things about people that you would never say to them, not realizing that even your thoughts can affect them. It is virtually impossible to teach people in a loving way if you are thinking angry thoughts about them.
This is a good lesson for you. It is possible to sin in thought, word, or deed, so if you want to be loving you must choose to think good thoughts about other people. Learn to live with your thoughts-it will be good for you and others.
Amen!!
