While reading my devotion about God speaking to and calling people in the Bible. God called people to do things that were highly impossible in their own knowledge and strength. But with God’s help they were very victorious in all they were instructed to do. Because God does not give us anything to do that He does not first equip us to do. Ephesians 4:13 reads, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This brought back to remembrance of when God called me years ago. I was told that God had placed a calling on my life and that I was to minister to His abused children.…

Ephesians 6:10-17 reads, “(10) Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. (11) Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. (12) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (13) Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (14) Stand firm then, with the belt of…

Happy Friday! Psalm 118:24 reads, “This is the day that the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” So, let us start out being obedient this morning. Being glad and rejoicing in this beautiful day. Today’s prayer for Friday’s Prayer will be for the world. Shall we pray? Father God, I come to You in the precious name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Thanking You, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for all You have done, all You are doing, and all You will do in the lives of Your children everywhere. You are an awesome God and we are so grateful. We come to You…

A couple of days ago I was reading about the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting in California. People went to the festival with family and friends for a day of fun and enjoyment. Unaware they would soon be running for their lives and some losing their lives. Living in this world today can be very frightening. There is so much evil all around us, people are afraid to leave their house. Although, God instructs us in His Word to not be afraid. Fear is not from God and He does not want us to let it enter into our hearts. I know that can be hard sometimes because of the news,…

Happy Monday! It’s that time once again, to go out and let the world see Jesus in us. Smile, speak and share a kind word and make someone else’s day. I also pray everyone had an awesome weekend as well. My husband is in transportation and he came home this weekend. We had planned this weekend and had been looking forward to it for some time now. Because of his work schedule and being on the road away from home all the time, we always have to plan for his time off. He has been wanting to get in some fishing, so we planned our weekend fishing trip and it…

Happy Friday everyone. Today is another blessed Friday that we were allowed to be a part of. Thank you Father for today. Well, this is Friday’s Prayer once again and today we are going to pray for Bereaved Families. There have been quite a few home goings in the past few weeks in my life. Last month my Mom went home to be with the Lord and a friend of mines Son went home to be with the Lord. Last week, the Minister at my church, his Son went home to be with the Lord. I know they are all in a better place, but they are deeply missed missed.…

The definition of addiction reads, “the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity.” So, what is your morning addiction? What is that one thing you have to do or have in the morning as soon as your eyes open? Is it that first cup of coffee, a nicotine product, morning talk show, checking face book or texting a friend? We all have a morning addiction. This topic for my blog was given to me this morning in the midst of me thinking about a cup of coffee. I woke up this morning and my first thought was, I am going to get up and…

Happy Monday! I pray that everyone will have a blessed and God filled week and remember to be a blessing to someone. I wanted to start out by sharing a little bit of the Sunday School lesson from church Sunday morning. It was a very good lesson and it brought a question to mind. The title of the lesson was “All We Need Is Love.” Do we pick and choose who we love or do we love everybody as the Bible instructs us to do? There are some people that we love being around, having conversation with, just a joy to be in their company. Then there are those people…

Happy Friday! I pray everyone had a blessed week and ready for the weekend. In case you haven’t noticed, I have decided to make my blog on Friday’s a day to pray for specific things. So, this Friday’s Prayer, I am going to pray for our truck drivers. Why? Because my husband and so many other men and women are truck drivers. That is not an easy job and it can be dangerous at times. I have worked for two transportation companies and I know a few men and women who have chosen this profession. Most of them are over the road which means they are away from home long…

When reading and studying my Bible, I use the N I V or the N K J V Bibles. Sometimes I will read a scripture in the Message Bible and that is what I did with this scripture. Proverbs 11:25 reads, “The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.” I love the way the Message Bible words this scripture, plain and simple to understand. So, lets talk about being blessed to be a blessing. I hear a lot of people talk about how blessed they are. Sometimes in speaking and asking someone how they are doing, they reply “blessed.” If we are as blessed…
