Dressed for the Day?

When we get up and get dressed, we tend to dress for the day — the weather and the activities, yet when we “put on the whole armor of God,” perhaps we are putting on our generic Godly armor. Reading a devotional or a planned reading is a great place to start but in the spirit of personal / spiritual refinement, perhaps a step further would be to look at what is on our plate for the day (assess the weather) and align our Bible reading and our prayers to cover us, protect us and build us up from the elements that we know are sure to hit.

Don’t Grow Weary

If you feel weary today, this week or even this month for whatever your reasons are, remember God’s promises to see you through. Let them refresh you and preserve you. Let them be the inertia that pushes you through.

50 More Weeks

Do the Work of the Plan – Whatever it is – Do the Work – Make the time. Faith without the work is dead. A plan without a push goes no where.

There is always a positive word

I remember back in Kindergarten we were taught if we don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.  I think that statement is absolutely wrong.  I have learned that there is always something positive to say. In every area of our life, God gives us powerful life affirming messages that we can

Blessed and Brought Out

Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:10) Have you even been uncomfortable with what you are asked to do or say at work, to your clients, or to your team? Are you ever asked to mislead, be less than transparent, or flat out lie? If you have,
