Keep holding on: God will sustain thee

Holding on
We glory in tribulations also knowing that tribulation work patience; and patience experience and experience hope. And hope makes us not ashamed because the love of God is shed aboard in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.  Romans 5:3-5

 Setbacks has inflected everyone, if it has not just keep living. Disappointments can range from work, illness, or financial dilemmas which can cause life altering hardships. 

Misfortunes can breed a spirit of withdrawal as well as excluding God from the problem. In an attempt to maroon God, stress builds up and runs rampant in a person’s life, often times consuming their strength and well-being which ultimately causes health issues. Yes, we all have struggles but through the mist of the storm we have to learn how to hold on to God’s hand and his word.

When you evaluate your life, the mind’s eye depicts failure. You have not reached the personal level of success desired. The life goals are way off the mark, thus making you feel like a failure. Your steps over the years became more arduous and existing seems to be futile. You may think the highway to ‘success’ has ended but one thing prevails, God is not dead. Christ’s unchanging love and intent for His children never changes, he wants us all to succeed! We have to follow the Master’s plan and cast our burdens upon God and he will sustain us Psalms 55:22

The most excellent way to end your battle is to get in line with God; it is never too late! Let pass adversities and doubt stay behind. Stop telling yourself you are too old or God has forsaken you. Part of your re-connection to God’s Life Line, keep holding on to the unseen faith. God is always waiting on His children to return, seek, praise, honor and adore Him! When you stop and absorb these words one has to realize that God is truly in your corner! Just keep holding on have faith daily! Your journey is not easy but Glory to God our Father will never leave us or forsake us through the tribulations. The Lord has brought up your soul from the grave, kept you alive so that you should not go down to the pit. Psalms 30 1-12


Let us pray: Our Father which is in heaven thank you for your mercy and grace and keeping us covered daily. Teach us to hold on to our faith and realize that you are with us through the joy and pain of our lives. We love you and may we glorify you in the name of Jesus. Amen

So this is Christmas: Be thankful for what you got!

Santa and Mr. Clean
“The Lord is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works. All his works shall praise him Psalms 145:9-10

So this is Christmas a time of good cheer! Family and friends come together enjoying festive soirees. The year draws  closer to an end and a New Year awaits just beyond our horizon.

Over the past twelve months we had good times and faced some bad. But most important we need to take time to reflect back and ponder what you are thankful for. As you sit around your dinner tables, lounge around with  friends take a minute to count your blessings one by one no matter how small. 

Many got new jobs others not. Just be Thankful for what you got! Some purchased new cars, or wiped out their  debit while others welcomed new life or got a bonus check! For me, there were no great big Cadillac but God did found favor on me and my family with many blessings through out this past year. No matter how hard times may have appeared to be He always had a way to show me what the worst could be. For you see, so many of our brothers and sisters have nothing at all but for some reason God has blessed me!

So as you usher out 2010 and welcome 2011 remember no day is promised -  just think of those who were with you last year but gone to glory today. Now thank God for Blessing you for 365 days and pray for an even better new year!

May this day be great and tomorrow even better but please make sure to have a most prosperous year here to come!

This is my prayer for you in 2011!

Be encouraged

Are you a Failure?

So you believe that you’re a failure.

Sure, you graduated college with a B.A. and master’s degree. Now after ten years of higher learning there is really nothing to show but a sub par job. Though it is hard to perceive, those desires of the heart, your so call ‘grand’ ideas were closer to hitting a target than you think. Realize your situation is not unique however holding on to fears, bad breaks, and set backs are!


Through the course of life we all have fallen short of goals and dreams. Let’s face it, nobody is perfect, everyone has failed at something right? According to Psychologist, two most common fears people face are failure and success. Its also evident apprehension is the number one culprit for a myriad of lost opportunities along with a handful of bad breaks in many people’s life. Based on these facts, you are a failure. Well, maybe not a complete failure.

Fear of failure
The fear of failing has caused many people to fail before they attempt to start let a lone finish the project.


Fear of success

The majority of people want to succeed in life but have placed stumbling blocks in their way; fear of failure, what people would say, or procrastination.

Do any of these definitions depict you? Is there a fear to start or finish a project? Have you sabotaged your dreams with procrastination? Either way you can break through the barriers of fear by committing to memory God will provide all your needs, just believe and don't give up hope. Satan will do all he can to cause disarray in your life. God said ask and you will receive, just believe, stop being fearful, thinking in the past, shack the negative thoughts and receive your blessing from God!


Be encouraged; rekindle the fire and a winner in Christ today!

Florida School Board Shooting: "V' for Luck or Miracle?

Picture this; a man walks into a meeting, spray paints the letter 'V' in red paint on the wall orders everyone out except six male Bay District school board members.


These men are now staring death in the face while a deranged man waves a gun before them. After a brief dialog, Clay Duke opens fire, people scatter, finding a hideaway where ever possible. With all the bullets flying the gun man missed each person.




This turns out to be a true to life horrifying episode that actually took place earlier this week in a Florida School board meeting. The question I raise was it luck or divine intervention from God that covered each person who was fired upon? Were the men intentionally missed by the gun man or did the Holy Spirit have control?


I believe the latter. God continuously provides miracles for all to see. Often times we take God’s wonders for granted or dismiss the situation as being lucky. God gave six men from Bay District School Board a blessing, a second chance if you will. How will they respond? Like the nine lepers who were healed by Jesus who kept going or like the one leper, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.


As you go through your daily activities today take time to thank God for the little things. We never know when you are staring death in the face.

The Pains of Life


Winter's Depression
Photo by: Tigner J.
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.   Psalms 42:11



Sighing and exhaling noisily….
My days and nights seem to be colder, longer, and not to mention darker. Metaphorically it appears to be more than just winter weather. Life - blustery bone chilling wind slicing through layers of clothes as if non existent causing the mind to revert back to the days of obscurity and depression. 


A mind of despair

My state of mind has hit a dead end - thoughts are jaded, vision hazy and decision making skewed. Where is the joy filled life of sunshine I so often speak about? Why have my rays of hope chosen to abandon me during a time that joy is most desperately desired? Lord stop this roller coaster because I want to escape. But to my dismay the ride of life has no emergency switches just hold on tight and dare not let go!

Facing predicaments

Individuals from time to time face predicaments that cause a person to slip into a state of gloom or mild depression. How do you cope? Who do you call? Do you give up? Revert to bad habits of comfort? Just like a drug - it is only a temporary fix. 

I have come to realize no matter how terrifying a situation may be God is there waiting. For each moment of disparity, God has already thrown a life line however stubbornness and willing to stay in the sea of self pity prolongs the pain apposed to reaching out for His hope. Your mind is a powerful weapon that can be used to conquer the world or work against you. 

When facing trials and tribulation cast away your personal feelings that appear to be holding you back: fear, doubt, money, jobs, or love life. Hook yourself to the word, find ways to encourage and be encouraged. Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

The Rear view mirror is the past not the future!


 Read: Isaiah 43:16-21

Remember Lot’s wife. Luke 17:32

But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26

 

Good Morning!

Have you observed how a car's windshield is designed to be wide and without any obstructions, allowing the driver to have an unobstructed view of turns, bumps, hills, valleys, intersections, and stop signs? The purpose is for you to maintain your focus on the road, observing everything that is in your way.

 Consider the rearview mirror from a different point of view: it is a compact, rectangular tool meant to provide a brief and adjustable glimpse of what is behind, rather than a detailed examination.

 When considering our life and future, some people tend to treat the windshield as if it were a rearview mirror. By dwelling on past events and becoming disheartened, they overlook the need to maintain a positive outlook.

 Jesus conveyed his message through concise and impactful statements. “The kingdom of God is not for those who glance back while plowing the field”, as mentioned in Luke 9:62. One cannot plow a straight row while looking behind, similarly, if we are constantly looking back, we cannot trust and follow God.

 It's true that we've all experienced offense, pain, or mistreatment in some way. Every person must learn to shut the doors of their past. Focusing on past disappointments can prevent God from revealing future opportunities. If you keep looking back at your past through the rearview mirror, you will be prevented from moving forward with God.

 Do not forget about Lot's wife. The Lord's angels provided a way for them to escape from Sodom and Gomorrah, with the only condition they do not look back.

 Focus your eyes on the windshield of your life. Focus your thoughts on the goal of having a relationship with Christ Jesus and only glance back at the past using the rearview mirror. Don't dwell on it and quickly move forward.
