Psalm 16:8
"I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken." When we were growing up as kids, whenever someone wanted to fight me, my little brother Bill would jump in front of me and beat them up. Not most of the time, but all the time. I would constantly remind my younger brother, look little brother, I'm the Big brother I'm supposed to be fighting for you and me. My little brother Bill, we used to call him 'Lill Bill'. He just completely blew me off. So pretty much he handled all my fights for me when we were kids. But why did he do that? Because he loved me and looked up to me. Your Heavenly Father will fight your battles (for you) and not only will He fight them for you, He will give you wisdom if you're even supposed to fight them at all. Jeremiah 20:11 "But the Lord stands beside me like a great warrior. Before him my persecutors will stumble. They cannot defeat me. They will fail and be thoroughly humiliated. Their dishonor will never be forgotten." Just pray "Lord, I give this person to you, this is not my battle."

Become unwise in your own wisdom
Become so unwise that you have to depend on God's complete wisdom, especially for decisions you have to make. Do not make a move or decision that you can't honestly say this was from the Lord. If you're not sure, that's not God because He would (never) give you something that's wavering and here's one thing you can count on - if you haven't heard from Him, wait!!!!!! I love you all "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you (think) you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise." 1Cor.3.19,1Cor.3.20,1Cor.3.18 NIV “Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord and whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord."
Jeremiah 17:7 AMP Happy and blessed 2026 Let your life be a testimony and a sweet aroma to Jesus. I pray your faith lines up with Jesus's plans for you. And that you leave all your fears and frets and concerns back in 2025. That you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ more than you've ever trusted Him in your life. And that you feel his presence wherever you go. In the name of Jesus God bless you all 🙏 Even if you can't say anything kind about someone,
resist saying anything unkind! Good morning 🌅:)
“I the Lord (search) the (heart) and examine the (mind), to (reward) each person according to (their) conduct, according to what their (deeds) deserve.” Jeremiah 17:NIV Everyday, every single day - is a gift from God, and you are the gift. When the Lord (tests) your Heart, what will He find? My precious Brothers and sisters, please read your proverbs of the day (Chapter 12).
Do not allow this to be a shoulda, coulda, woulda day. (Command) your morning, which means speak life and prosperity, godly wisdom, a spiritual insight into your day. If you speak it, keep it! If you say it pay it!
If someone, if anyone, man or woman - cannot keep their word with the Lord, they will rarely keep it with anyone else. (Numbers 30:2) "If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised." Proverbs 11:17 "Your kindness will (reward) you, but your cruelty will destroy you".
Kindness - play it forward ⏩ Pure and (genuine) kindness given in love, is anticipating nothing in return. When we anticipate something in return, that's not kindness, that's giving in expectation. That is, expecting a reward for something that is meant to be completely FREE. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you". 1 Peter 5:6 says "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in (due) time"
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there (remember) that your brother or sister has something against (you), leave your gift there in front of the altar.
First (go) and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift." Mathew 5 'Without' wisdom and 'discernment' from the Lord,
You will not know the (difference) between your enemies who are not actually your enemies, and friends who are not actually your friends. [Romans 11:33–35] "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How (unsearchable) are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid? "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not (all) his benefits—who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
who (forgives) all your sins and (heals) all your diseases, who satisfies your (desires) with (good) things so that your youth is (renewed) like the eagle’s." Psalm 103 "If you have raced with runners and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?"
Jeremiah 12:5 "Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
Mark 5:36 When we pray for anything, you have to pray like you eat, at a minimum. As you eat more than once a day and throughout your day even some snacking. You must pray this way throughout your day, however with those prayers, you must Believe (before) you pray. You must have a heart of faith along with your prayer requests. You must believe that what you're asking the Lord for will come to be, as long as it's in his will. Believe, pray, walk & speak in your faith. Throughout our entire day, we control so many things, our cars, our finances, even the daily appliances in our home.
However, it takes help and prayer from the Lord, to help us control our anger and the gift of gossip. "He who is slow to anger is better and (more) honorable than the mighty [soldier], And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city. A perverse man spreads strife, And one who gossips (separates) intimate friends." Proverbs 16 AMP "For where you have [envy] and selfish ambition, there you find (disorder) and every evil practice.
But the [wisdom] that comes from heaven is (first) of all [pure]; then [peace-loving], [considerate], [submissive], full of [mercy] and good fruit, [impartial] and [sincere]. [Peacemakers] who sow in peace (reap) a 'harvest' of righteousness." James 3: 16-18 NIV Giving something to the Lord - your concerns, your challenges, hopes and dreams, without faith, is like writing a letter to the Lord, full of all your desires and requests and never mailing it, then asking the receiver, have they received it yet. You must believe.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who (comes) to him must (believe) that he 'exists' and that he rewards those who earnestly (seek) him." Hebrews 11:6 God spoke to Moses face to face and considered him a friend because Moses was_______
1) The kindest man in his household 2) A man of Prayer 3) The meekest man on the earth 4) Patient with everyone and never lost his temper "All the (ways) of a man are clean and innocent in his (own) eyes [and he may see nothing (wrong) with his actions],
But the Lord weighs and (examines) the motives and (intents) [of the (heart) and (knows) the truth]." Proverbs 16:2 Mentally and Emotionally, do not allow this Thursday to be like any other Thursday gone by.
For Every day, Every single day, God has a fresh Anointing on the Day and a great opportunity for you and He can change (turn) your situation around in a millisecond divided by two. "You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance." Selah Psalm 32:7 Cast (all) your (cares) upon Him, for He cares for you...
Just like when you invest in something, you don't visit once and then say well that's it. You continue to strategize, analyze and then reapply. This is the same when we go to the Lord in prayer, as long as it's still heavy on your heart, continue to go to Him. Be it wealth or health, give it to the Lord. Continue to pray, continue to trust, continue to ask. "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." Mathew 7:7 "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal.."
In regards to doubting, or feeling alone. You never know how much you can take, until God puts you in a (position) or situation to show you that you can take much more than you (thought) you could. And then you will be in the position where you will (see), He was (always) there., 2 Corinthians 10:4 Genuine...
Be yourself, if you water yourself down to please others or to fit in or not offend anyone you lose your (identity). It's much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself. when you want to (please) people you tell them what they want to hear, When you want to (help) people, you tell them the truth....you choose! Please read Proverbs 12:17 "Greater is He that is (within) me than he that is in the world?"
But why (within) me and not beside me or with me? There were several explorers that wanted to explore a particular sunken ship, the problem was no one could reach it because it was too deep, and the pressure was overwhelming. Finally, one scientist made it to the ocean floor and reached the ship. When asked how he accomplished this, he said, "I built a small vessel that could produce (more) pressure (internally) than the pressure produced (externally)." This is how the Lord works in our lives. He gives us (internal) strength to handle (any) external problem. He does not want us trying to do things in our own strength. As we pray for Strength, Guidance, Protection and Wisdom as you daily read the word, the Lord will (renew) your mind. He will strengthen your heart so you do not feel overwhelmed, alone or get discouraged or give up. The Lord will never give you more than you can handle but, He will give you more to handle, there's a difference. "I can do (all) this (through) him who (gives) me strength." Philippians 4 “Therefore confess your sins to (each) other and (pray) for (each) other so that (you) may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person is (powerful) and effective.” James 5:16 NIV |
