Thank God today for your friends, new and old. Friends are precious.
Proverbs 18:24
A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Thank God today for His friendship too.
Be Blessed!

Faith and Disappointment
When you are working hard toward a goal and you miss the mark, know that God has a plan for you. If you have an issue because of your own doing, ask God where you went wrong. If you have an issue because of someone else’s mistake, speak to the person and let them know how you feel. You can not harbor hate. You must walk in love.
The song writer writes ” My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus blood and righteousness. On Christ the solid it rock I stand, all other ground, is sinking sand. All other ground, is sinking in sand
Our rock is Christ. Our faith is in Christ.

Love Seed
The Lord had such a high degree of gratification for thy fathers that He loved them. He chose their seed (you) after them, above all people as it is this day.
For you are a peculiar person who shows forth praises of Him, who has called you out of your wrong (sin) into righteousness.
Before you were born, you were called by the Lord. You were lost for a moment, but the seed planted long ago budded. The seed thirsted to be one with the Lord again.
Welcome Back!

It is Friday and we should be thankful.
We had a productive week. We accomplished some goals and added some tasks to our task list. As we begin to wind down and play the favorite song of choice to relax, let’s take the time out to thank God for allowing us to see another day..
Lord I thank you for allowing me to see another Friday. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength and grace to make it. Thank you Lord for the goals accomplished and for the tasks that we added.
Alright, it is time to bust the move!

Faith – Write the Vision
Faith is the substance of the things hoped for in the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
Sometime ago, I was diagnosed with Lupus. During a span of time, I had a bad red rash on my face. I did not go out much because it was a trying time.
In the book of Habakkuk the Lord instructs you to write your vision and so I did. Read the following passage of scripture.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 King James Version (KJV) 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Here is what I wrote down ” There will be no spots or blemishes on my body”.
According to Matthew 4:4 it states man shall not live by bread alone, they shall live by the word of God. Psalms 103:3 tells us that the Lord forgives us of all our iniquities and heals all of our diseases. Furthermore by Jesus’ stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5)
Today I do not have any red spots on my face and one of my tests came back negative for Lupus. I do not claim to have Lupus, I simply state the doctor diagnosed me with Lupus. I know that I am healed by the blood of Jesus.
There are times when the enemy comes to attack and tries to put a spot on my body. So, I speak the word of God. Sometimes I speak the word to myself in the mirror. Before you know it, the spot is gone.

Grace
Without the law, there is no need for grace.
Man was given laws by God to obey, but the sin of man kept God at a great distance. The lamb was killed to make atonement for man’s sins. Man continued to be wicked and God needed to do something that would put man back into right standing with Him. God’s plan to redeem man was to make the ultimate one time sacrifice, of His only son Jesus.
When Jesus rose as Lord Jesus, He brought us into grace. Grace is here to help us when we fall short of the law. You know the law, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill etc.. When we fall short and repent, grace gives us the ability to still be used for His glory, just like he used Saul (Paul).

Be Thankful
Be thankful for all that you have no matter how you may feel.
I awoke one morning and I did my daily morning prayers and reading to the Lord. In my conversation, I made a statement that I was ready to move on from the place that we are now leaving. Lord, when will we be able to move on, it seems like everything is breaking and everything needs to be finished all at once. As I busied myself on getting ready for the morning, I caught a two minute segment of Creflo Dollar’s. What was he speaking on? I am glad you asked. Be thankful in whatever job, house, or car that you have. Suppose you did not have a job? Suppose you did not have a house? Suppose you did not have a car? But, you do. Be thankful for where you are at the present time. It is in your thankfulness, that God will begin to change things and move you forward.
I thank you Lord for my present situation. I may not be where I want to be, but I am no where were I used to be, and for this I say THANK YOU! I veered off the road for a moment, and you used your servant to put be back on the point. Thank you so much Lord, for your tender loving kindness.
Be Blessed!
