"Hope"

Hope: A never ending and inspiring source of joy. Without hope we feel doomed. With hope all things are possible.Often times hope turns up and takes a blue feeling away. Or it allows us to endure a troublesome time. God is hope and he provides each of us with everlasting hope for all things in our lives. Don't ever give up on hope and it will never give up on us. Verses: Psalm 42:5 Heb 11: 1 1John 3:3

"Route Change"

Once again we can find ourselves on a planned event and our route gets changed. Road construction,car issues, weather changes, and we now need to adjust. Sometimes all the best planning just can't prevent a change in our route! God may need us to slow down or look in another direction, we wouldn't have otherwise. The time we are supposed to be somewhere may need a slight adjustment? We can only trust that God is in control, and the change in the route comes from him. Verses John 14:1-4 John 14: 14-16

"Silence"

What do we think in times of silence from God? Is it that we aren't listening? Is it he is not speaking? A dear friend of mine suggested that maybe we are just walking with God then. God is good with where we are at and what we are doing. If we should stumble or stray God will let us know and steer us straight again. Faith in what we know,believe, and act on should help us serve and follow God. Trust in that God is always there, walking every step of the way with us! Verses Isa 2 :5 Micah 6:8 1 John 1:7

"Not Fond of"

How many people do we truly dislike? I would hope that there is very few. There will always be someone that we don't particularily care for. That person may have said or done something to us. They may do things we don't care for. Whatever the case, maybe we shouldn't feel negatively about them. We may not want to associate with them. They are still loved by God and most likely others who love them too. Verses James 4: 4 1 John 4: 7-21

"Teamwork"

Anyone that has started and finished a project knows the satisfaction of doing so. When we work as a team however, we have a new level of satisfaction. Jesus got all of the disciples together to go out and work as a team to spread the word. It is more efficient and productive when we work together. Each participant can do their part and help others to be more successful. God has made all of us to serve and help one another. Verses 1Cor 12: 27-31 Gen 2 : 18 Acts 9: 36

"Wealth"

How many of us are looking to be wealthy? I read an account of a young man whose goal was to acquire as much money as possible. He wanted a high paying job and a frugal attitude. All of that showed determination and a goal in mind. What I wonder, is what did he hope to accomplish with all that wealth? We are always much better off if we concentrate on knowing and loving God and the wealth of that. Monetary wealth is not the answer to our happiness and self worth at all. Verses: Heb 11: 26 Prov 3 : 9-10

"Waiting"

Patience is something we all could use more of. Waiting for some things in life seems tiresome. But as always good things come to those who wait. Wanting to much to have all of our desires ,and we miss the fun of getting there. i ask God to bless me with what he knows I need. I also ask God to help me focus on what truly is important and to wait for all things. Verses: Acts 1:4 Titus 2: 11-14
