Waiting on an answer from God can be long and daunting. You will go through a whole range of emotions from hopelessness, helplessness, anxiety, loneliness, feeling forgotten, and wondering why. It’s in these moments we have to cling to the word of God and holdfast to the word we know. We have to pray and sometimes fast. Don’t give up on God because you’re still going to have to wait. Hold on and don’t let go of God’s unchanging hand. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

If you been wanting to try something new, do it. Step out on faith. Don’t listen to people telling you; what if. Get delivered from what people are going to think or say. Pray about it and do it. For we walk by faith and not by sight.

Have we given up to easy on our kids and our community? Are we so consumed with being successful that we don’t care anymore if people make it or not? Are we tired of being that village that helps raise the neighborhood? Is it easier for us to talk about the neighborhood thug, than try to conversate with them and see why their thuggish? Is it easier for us to talk about the pregnant teen mom, than sit down with her and say; let’s figure this out together? Is it easier for us to make it and forget where we come from? Well, it wasn’t easy for Jesus, that’s why he hung, bled and died for us. He longsuffers with us. He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks at it, wanting to come in. Jesus has never given up on us, so let’s not be so easy on giving up on each other.

Today my grandson and I were talking and he aske me; is granny your mother? I told him yes, and he said; so she’s the boss of you. I said yes, she’s the boss of me, she can still tell me what to do. He then said; well who is paw-paw’s mom. I told him granny and paw-paw’s parents passed away. He was like, so they don’t have a boss? I told him God was their boss and he tells them what to do. Many of us don’t like to be told what to do if it’s not coming from the boss, and sometimes we hate when the boss tells us what do. When we work, we should work as if we’re working for the Lord. When we do that, people on our jobs can’t get on our nerves and make us want to quit or go postal.

We have to stand up for what we believe in. If we believe we’ve been wronged we have to take a stand. If we feel strongly about something, we have to take a stand. It’s alright if everybody isn’t going along with what we believe. As Christians we have to take stand for our faith and injustice. Never once in the bible have I read let someone take advantage of you. People confuse meekeness with weakness. Taking a stand requires action. Pray about your situation, then listen to the instructions God gives you to carry out the action.

Have no fear of what the enemy is trying to do to you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. God is bigger than your enemy and in God’s timing he will make your enemy your footstool. Just while you’re waiting on God to move, make sure you’re not grieving the Holy Spirit by you behavior, your speech, and your conduct. Make sure you living a life pleasing to God. God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of love,power and a sound mind.

We tend to complain about everything we don’t have, but have we ever stopped to think about what we do have. If we really look at our life and at the stuff we have, we have more than most people. We need to stop complaining and start thanking God that he’s allowed us to be at fortunate as we are.

Father God in the name of Jesus, I just want to thank you for saving my life and not sending me to hell when I deserved it. Search my heart and take everything in me that’s not like you out of it. All of the bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, strife, envy, stinginess, and anything else you find. Lord help me to do what the bible teaches even if it’s not popular with the world. Cover my children and my family, keep them from dangers seen and unseen. Lord, don’t let nothing catch me off guard today. I cancel Satan’s assignment over my life and over my children’s life. Help me to love those who are hard to love, especially those closest to me. Help me to be loveable. Put my attitude in check. When I go to sin, shake the very foundation under me until I surrender all to you. Lord do whatever you have to do to keep the scales off my eyes and to keep me out of hell, in Jesus name amen.

Often times people go define themselves how others see them. In doing this, they become other people’s puppets. When was the last time time you told someone I don’t care what you think about me, here’s what I think about me. If you think you’re a success, but others see you as a failure; you’re a success. If you think of yourself as advancing in life, but other people see you as being stagnant; you’re advancing. We can never live up to what everyone else want us to be. God has given each and everyone of us gifts and talents that will help us be who he created us to be. We just have to use our own gifts and talents, and leave everyone else’s gifts and talents alone.

Everyone has an opinion on what you should do with your life, career, family, finances, relationships, etc… You don’t need their opinion, you need a word from the Lord. Spend time in prayer and in the word of God and let God give you a word. Following people’s opinions will lead you to a road of destruction and confusion. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
