Happy Hump Day!! Wisdom Word Wednesday is going to be a little different from our theme this week, which is based on Psalm 127:1.  Today is the last day of October; And we will be embarking into another holiday month. Thanksgiving is a holiday where most people take time to stop from their busy schedules and give thanks. So, I thought it would be great for the next 30 days to focus on giving thanks to the Lord God Almighty in the name of Jesus for all He has done, for all that He is doing, and everything He is about to do. Having said that, our wisdom word for today is thankfulness. Giving thanks and being appreciative is one of the wisest thing that you can do. "Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done," (Psalm 105:1) nlt. This will be our theme scripture for November.  If you doing a similiar theme, please leave a link to your blog so I can come visit.  Blessings and thankfulness to you always!! ...

My Dearest Heavenly Father, Your thoughts and and Your ways are higher than mine. You have known me before I was conceived in my mother's womb. And You know the plans destined for my life, which are not harmful, but give prosperity and great success in Christ Jesus. I pray that everything I do will be in the center of Your will. And that I will take heed to every word that You have spoken and written. Oh, heavenly Father, I pray that all the work I do in present or future tense will be based on Your word. You are my firm foundation. On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand. I know for sure without a shadow of doubt that if I keep You front and center, I will prosper in the name of Jesus. Furthermore, I know that if I don't labor in You, all my work will be in vain. My prayer is to be pleasing in Your sight. Thank You Lord for Your wisdom, Your guidance, and Your instructions. In the name of Jesus, I pray.....Amen. ...

It's the last Manic Monday of October. This week is based on Psalm 127:1, "Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain." This psalm is about laboring and prospering with the Lord by building your work, your accomplishments His firm foundation. Psalm 127 reminds of the parable about the wise and the foolish builder in Matthew 7:24-29. “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine,  and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat  on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” This parable illustrate...

Happy Sunday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend. It's beginning to look and feel like fall over here in SC. I'm enjoying every bit of it. This week's theme scripture will be based on Psalm 127:1.     "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain, who build it; Unless the Lord, guards the city." Psalm 127 is about laboring and prospering with the Lord. One thing I know for sure is that we cannot do or be anything without God being the foundation of it all. I like to study from different bibles because each of them always seem to have a great insight on a scripture or passage. For example, here's a study note from The Dake Bible on Psalm 127:1: "All works of men built independent of God are vain. This psalm teaches man to put dependence upon God for success in building lasting things, whether houses, families, business, national security, or anything else." That statement is so true on every level. In addition to ...

Happy Hump Day!! We are continuing our theme based on Luke 16:10. Being faithful in the work that God has given you, can demonstrate your integrity in Christ Jesus. According to Dictionary.com , integrity is defined as being adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. This can also mean that you are not willing to compromise who you are in Christ, which one of those characteristics being faithful. When you hear some stories of different CEOs of multi-million dollar companies, you will realize that they didn't achieve their high-class position overnight. Some of them may have started off in the mailroom; While others may have started as an intern. The point is that they had to start somewhere and remain faithful over little things. In addition to that, being responsible over small things prepared and taught them how to be responsible over much bigger and better things, such as a multi-million dollar company. So, please be w...

My Dearest Heavenly Father, Thank you for Your faithfulness. Thank you for believing in me before I believed in myself. I, also, thank you for never giving up on me. Great is Your Faithfulness, Oh Lord. My prayer today is that I become faithful in every single thing you have blessed me with, no matter how big or small. I pray that I will be faithful in every work you will entrust in my hands, in every gift, every talent, as well as my relationship with people. To be like your precious Son Jesus, is to be faithful in You. I stand on the word spoken in Luke 16:10, "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much;..."; And I know if I remain faithful, one day I will hear, "...Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord," (Matthew 25:21). I praise and bless Your Holy Name through Your Son, Jesus....Amen!

This week's theme is based on Luke 16:10. The main focus is on faithfulness. Many of us, including me, sometimes have a hard time committing to a task until it's finished. For some, it's no problem because all you have to do is give them a list; And they most likely will not rest until everything is crossed off. When I often begin a project, my prayer to God is that I remain faithful to complete the task at hand. I, also, pray that I don't get caught up in the "not feeling like doing anything" mode or that I don't quit if or when things become tedious or too hard. Faithfulness is a Christlike attribute. We must make a strong effort to exercise, when given the opportunity to do so. In my Spirit-Filled Study Bible, faithfulness is described as a prerequisite to promotion, a reliability in right management of resources, and the goal of our accountability as servants of Christ. No one is promoted unless they have done the work and remained ...

This is the last full week in October. I really don't know what to say. This might be the first. But, I do know that it is Sunday's Scripture Reading. So, let's get right to it and start this week off on the right foot. This week's theme and today's Sunday Scripture Reading will be Luke 16:10.     He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. God has blessed and is still blessing His children with dreams beyond what we can ever imagine for ourselves. However, when it comes to dreams, we must work the necessary steps that leads to them coming true. Most likely, that involves doing things step by step. Of course, that means starting off small, but ending with a big bang. In the midst of it all, we must show God our faithfulness in carrying our dreams to full term. If we are faithful over little things, we will be faithful over plenty. My prayer is to be fa...

This Week's Scripture October 14 - October 20, 2012     Nuggets of Reflection: It's amazing how our circumstances may change, if we only decide to put our hearts and our eyes on God. Put your joy into action. God is the source of our joy. Call on God to be your Strength. When you put your JOY into action, you are letting the devil know that you are victorious and not a victim of his ignorant devices.

Happy Friday!!! I think everybody is ready for the weekend!! Let's get right to it. For this Feel Free Friday, I want you to feel free to count your blessings.

Happy Wednesday!!! And I love that it is Wisdom Word Wednesday because we are half way there. Hal-le-lu-yer!!! Today's edition of Wisdom Word Wednesday is about the Lord's Strength. This week's Manic Monday is about putting your JOY into action, which goes hand in hand with today's post. With that being said, we should be wise to call on God to be our strength. In distress times, it can be hard to put your joy into action. It may because we are so burden down, discouraged, or just plain weak in our spirit. Believe it or not, this is the best time to call on the Lord to be our strength. Even Jeremiah recognized God as the source of His strength, when he said, "O LORD, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction," in Jeremiah 16:19. In addition to that, when you put your joy into action, you, also, tap into the power of the Holy Spirit for the Lord's strength to filter through into you. Nehemiah 8:10 says, "...Do ...

My Dearest Heavenly Father, I thank you for being my Father. You are always by my side no matter what. Even through my toughest times, you carry me through and planted my feet on solid ground. There are times, even though I hate to admit it, when I didn't put my whole trust and hope in you. Yet, You still made a way out of no way for me.  And for that, I am truly sorry. I love you and I would be lost and no one without you. I take Your word spoken in Habakkuk 3:17-19 to heart. It encourages and empowers my spirit. It reminds me that no matter what is going on in my life You are the source of everything. You are the source of my joy. You are the source of my peace of mind. You are the source, not my circumstances and everything else for that matter. So, Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd i...

Manic Monday is here!! Whoop!! Whoop!! Are you ready? Well, let's do this!! Today's Manic Monday is about putting your JOY into action. Habakkuk 3:18 says, "Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation." Joy in this verse is a verb, which means to put into action.   joy ~ [Hebrew word:gil; Strong's #1523] - To joy, rejoice, be glad, be joyful; a suggestion of dancing for joy or leaping for joy; or to even spin around with intense motion This is really something. Habakkuk is saying despite all the hardships, despite all the pain, and despite that no fruit is growing on the vines, I will JOY in the fellowship of my almighty, merciful, and compassionate God. All I can say is, "WOW!" We should all take note of Habakkuk's attitude during his hardships. Habakkuk shows by example that God is the source of his joy, not his trials and tribulations. But, how do you put your JOY in God into action. You can sing a...

Have you ever had your schedule to kind of spin out of control? Whereas, time seems to fly by like the speed of light, especially when you are working on a project or two. Well, I'm definitely a witness to that. Even though your schedule may get a wee bit hectic, don't fret. Things will be back to normal sooner than you think. I am glad of that because I was missing my blogging time. I still have a lot of catching up to do, but better late than never. Right? Anywho, this week our theme is based on Habakkuk 3:17-19. Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills. This is one of my feel good passages th...

A little bit of kindness can have a huge impact and warm someone's heart. Picture by: Musings From My Heart via Toia on Pinterest Simple Acts of Kindness - Heartwarming!! from ourprecioussavior on GodTube . “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” ― Plato “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” ― Mother Teresa “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” ― Mark Twain “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.” ― Kahlil Gibran Picture by: Musings From My Heart via Toia on Pinterest

Words can have a profound impact, whether they are good or bad. That's why it is so important that we (especially Christians) be very mindful of the words that come out of our mouths. We can choose to speak life or speak death. There is always a choice. Please choose wisely. Me, personally, I prefer to speak words that inspire, encourage, and empower. Below is a video that shows a few great quotes.
