"Marriage"

I am no expert on marriage at all. Maybe there are those out there that can have that credit? God is most qualified of course. I do know what the bible says though, Paul tells us in ( 1 Cor 7: 8-9), that if we burn with passion it is better to marry. He also tells us that we would be better off not to marry(1 Cor 7:28 & 32-35). I would understand this to be a bit of quandary.? What do we do then? Some I am sure will marry and find a great balance in a life of God and spouse. Others may find a God filled and directed life,with God as their only lover. Verse : James 4: 4-10

"People"

I came to a realization recently, " I like people". Everywhere I go I watch and observe people and I am always amazed! The kind and caring receptionist to the up and coming football star. Even the rude person now and then, God made them all and they are all here for a purpose. I suppose others may be watching me as well. I pray that what they see is inspiring and good? Pray, God help me to be one of your people and show and express Gods love! Verses: Jer 24: 7 Rev 21: 3-4

"Whose Goals ?"

Some days seem like we are busy, but accomplishing nothing? When we stop and think of what we have done it's hard to define. Maybe our actual accomplishments are not so clear? Maybe the lives we touch on those days and the impact to others is it? God uses each of us everyday, the question is, will we allow him to accomplish his goals or only our goals? Pray: God we want to be there for your desire for us and goals we accomplish, help us to fill that need each and every day. Verses: 2Cor 5: 9 Gal 3: 3-5

"Majesty"

A song line comes to mind, "Purple Mountains Majesty". Whenever we see an awesome view, we are presented with Gods' majesty. Just take a drive into the country or mountains and his majesty will be all around you. Stare at the stars and ponder what and how they can be?? Go white water rafting and experience the power of the river. Gods' creation is all around us. Gods' vision far surpasses any we can have. Then recognize that God is our majesty. No other greater majesty exists than God! Verses: Ester 1: 4 2 Peter 1: 16-18

"Labor"

God has said that man should labor many times in the bible. This is not to be understood as our jobs only. We all need to be productive in all areas of our lives. The feeling of accomplishment that comes with a job well done and the inspiration it provides are gifts from God. We all need to ask God what it is we should be laboring at ? Then we need to make the commitment and do it. Verses: 1Cor 15: 58 1Cor 3: 8-9 Php 2: 12-18

"Yesterday"

How often do we ponder yesterday? All of our past has had some significance on our present. What we have experienced, does affect what we are today. Life goes forward and the past is definitely gone. We can't go back and change anything. The bonds made are now a part of our present day. Things left behind are gone. If we hold on to something from before it can greatly affect our today. Praise God for lessons learned and wisdom gained. Pray for new and healthy insights and growth. Verses Hebrews 13: 8 Eccl 7: 10

"Appearance"

It's so easy to judge people by their appearance. This way of looking at others is false. Everybody we encounter is an individual;. Their particular look or way of dressing is not sufficient information. The only way is to get to know them. Only then, does their true character come out. Often to our surprise they are very much like ourselves. Verses: 1Sam 16 : 7 Gal 2: 6
