Being Blessed With Wisdom In the New Year

Image
The definition of change is to become different or transform.  It also means to convert from one stage to another.  In my own words it means to let go of the past.  In me eyes it means to embrace the future, and see what tomorrow may bring.  I believe that change has come when we can trust God,and step out on faith.  I feel that transformation happens when we learn to take chances in life.  I refuse to give up on my dreams.  I am determined to be a success.  I will not back down in the mist of adversity.  God did not give me the spirit of fear, and I am made in his image. Dear Lord we pray that you will give us wisdom.  In the times that we live in we ask you to help us be wise in all things.  Let us seek your face, and be full of your word to help us understand what you have for our lives. • The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.  Provers 1:7 • Give me understanding and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. 

Small Steps

When I first came into the world I had to take small steps I had to learn how to crawl Before I walked God has always known That I would stumble He has always known that I would fall down And try to walk again He knows that the road will get rough And the storms of life will rage He knows that trials and setbacks Will make me stronger I will take small steps Until I am able to walk And then I may run Until I reach my destiny © Amanda Matthews © Holligan78 | Stock Free Images & Dreamstime Stock Photos  

YOU HAVE THE POWER WITHIN YOU

Lord as I sit here in my home looking out at the rain fall your love never cease to amaze me. You have given man the authority to rule over the earth. Home... such a beautiful place. We live in such a beautiful world, and I thank you for giving me one more day to be a part of it. As I move a little closer to my destiny I am starting to see how God is working on my behalf. Only God can open doors that no man can shut. God is the author of life. He knows the plans, and the vision that he has placed inside of you. God has given us the power to overcome obstacles that may fall in our way. He has equipped us with the tools that is necessary for us to succeed. No matter how hard the task may be, don't ever give up on your dreams. Stay on the path, and keep your focus on God. Anything worth having is definitely worth the fight. Even when the it gets tough. Stay in the game!! In the Bible it says "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that t

I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE END WILL BE

Each day I have to give honor to God for he is always worthy of my praise. He has granted me another day to do his will, and make a difference in the lives of other people. By faith I know that God will continue to see me through all things. I never question the things that God is doing, because I know that he has all things in his control. I am awakened each day with the belief that God will show up and show out on my behalf. In other words I have learned to believe that God will do exactly what he said he will do. If he said it, you better believe that it will come to pass!! From a realistic point of view nothing happens overnight, but God is true to his word. There are many people in the Bible that have been recipients of God's favor. Sarah, the wife of Abraham was barren. She could not have children. Through God's favor she gave birth to Abraham's son Issac. (Genesis 21) What about the favor that God had shown to Esther, and how he blessed her to save her p

My Positive Affirmations for Today

Each day is a new day for me to be productive. I declare that the New year will be one of prosperity, and good productivity. It will be a new beginning, and great things are in store for me.

A Real Gift at Christmas Time

For unto us a King is born in the city of Bethlehem. He lay in the manger next to his mother Mary. All have come to adore this sweet child by bringing him gifts. A star shining in the night symbolizing the birth of the Messiah. We honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for he is the reason for the season. Jesus Christ has given his life for us to be free. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich; yet for your sakes he became poor so that you through his poverty might become rich." Those that have not are rich through our Lord Jesus Christ. He, the Son of God did not have a place to lay his head. Luke 9:58 says "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has no place to lay his head." Jesus lived a simple life, and he was very open with the people. He was not conceited even though he knew that he was royalty. I love Jesus, because he gave himself for all mankind. H
