Daily Bible Verse

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)


Sometimes we must stop and ask God for wisdom instead of using our own wisdom. I mean good grief He tells us right there in scripture that he'll give it to us for the asking. Why is it so hard for us to ask? I have a tendancy to think I know what's best and forget to ask God. This results in bad decisions and hurt feelings a lot of times, when all I had to do was stop for 10 seconds and ask God.

Daily Bible Verse

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19)

Choices, we all make them everyday. Our choices mold and determine our lives. The consequences of each choice whether good or bad will bring us a blessing or a curse. Our Father in heaven gave us the freedom to choose and I choose Him. Does this mean I always make the “right” choice… no! But I know that He is always providing for me a way and I have to keep my eyes and my heart open to recognize which is the choice I should choose. How will I know? By going to church, reading the bible and praying. All of these choices help me to recognize His will. By seeking His voice, I will find Him.

No Harm Intended

I have been "accused" of being childlike, I believe the words "Polly Anna" were used, at looking at the world and other people. I want the world to be loving, caring, understanding and tolerate. Is this too much to ask? If I choose to look at the world through rose colored glasses then let me be! I don't want to be cynical and suspicious of people. I want to believe that they will do me no harm. Being an adult I know I must be aware of dangers and I do keep my eyes open. But is it too much to ask to assume people mean you no harm before you even meet them. When they say something that gets under your skin, have you ever thought that they have their reasons for saying what they said and you really don't know what happen to them 5 minutes before they said it. I want the same consideration when I say something that may hurt someone. My intentions have never been nor will ever be to intentionally hurt someone. But there are those times that something has gotten to me or I have had no sleep (I know this is hard to believe) and something I say may come out all wrong. Please just assume I didn't mean it and I won't have to wonder who I offended. I know I could go through this world not caring who may get offended, but fortunately, it does matter to me.

Daily Bible Verse

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.(John 14:27 KJV)

Peace, is this not what we all want. Jesus offers us this peace and gives it to us with only a request to allow Him into our hearts. I know this peace and am so thankful and amazed at how easily obtainable it is. It comes to us just for the asking and it has sustained me in all times of need.

Daily Bible Verse

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25-26 KJV)

Jesus tells us that if we believe in Him we will not die, but live eternally with Him. Isn’t that awesome! I personally do not like the alternative….

Blog, Blog, Blog

I can’t believe I have actually started a “Blog”. Who would have thought? Well obviously my friend Vicki would have since she is the one who hooked me up! Blog seems like such a strange thing. It reminds me of blah, blah, blah. Instead it is blog, blog, blog. Meaning that what people hear when you are talking is blog, blog, blog. I am not sure what my topics will be, but I can guarantee you that they will be worth the paper they are printed on. Oh yeah, they aren’t printed on paper. Well there you go! I will probably not be as diligent as my friend Vicki, who is great at blogging, but I will try my best, just so you won’t get bored.
