Good morning. There are times when we need to mind our own business. When we see people arguing there’s no need for us to speak on the matter or try to put our two-cents in it. If we really have to say something it’s best we take it to the Lord in prayer. There’s no need to pour fuel on a fire and be blamed for being so nosey.

Proverbs 26:17
Interfering in someone else’s argument is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.

Good morning. Being a child of God doesn’t exempt us from having trials and tribulations. In fact, being a child of God makes us a target. But have no fear, our father is so powerful, nothing can happen to us unless he gives permission for it to be so. We already know the Lord will be with us in every situation so we should take comfort in knowing we never walk this earth alone and we never go through trials alone. So, let the peace of God reside in our hearts knowing God is a very present help in the time of trouble.

John 16:33
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Good morning. To be truly blessed of God is to obey him. Material things doesn’t mean we’re blessed. When we turn our will over to God, we’re blessed. When our lifestyles line up with the word of God, we’re blessed. We have 66 books in the Bible to keep us on the path to blessings. Let’s not vear off Route 66, let’s stay on the straight and narrow and get every blessing that God has for us.

Proverbs 8:32
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Good morning. It should not be a chore to praise and worship God, we should do it gladly. We belong to God, he claims us as his own. That’s enough to give him thanks. No matter how unfaithful we are, he’s always faithful to us. No matter how unlovable we are, he loves us unconditionally. Therefore, let’s give God our all cheerfully and joyfully.

Psalms 100
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Good morning. Why do we ask unsaved people about spiritual matters? What advice can a sinner give us that can override what God has spoken in his word? We have to be careful who we take advice from. We should never seek counsel from the ungodly; it doesn’t matter how good of a person they are. The Bible declares if they are not for us then they are against us. The mere fact that they haven’t chosen Jesus as their Lord and Savior lets us know they are not for us, they are not on the Lord’s side. The best advice we can ever receive is from the Lord himself. When will we ever learn to take God’s word over man’s word? If we can get this basic principle down, we would save ourselves from a lot of headaches and heartaches.

Genesis 3:1-5
The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the LORD God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.” “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

Good morning. It seems that when calamity befalls us, the first thing we want to do is worry and complain. Job teaches us the first thing to do is worship the Lord. No matter what type of destruction dawns our doorstep, our very first instinct should be to worship the great I AM. We sin when we begin to blame God for our mishaps and start saying Lord why me; why did you let this happen? What we are really saying when we ask the Lord why did he let this happen to us is; Lord you were asleep at the wheel and if you were awake things would be better. We don’t worship God because of a feeling or for the things he gives us. We worship God for who he is. He has the whole world in his hands and he can do whatever he desires. He can allow whatever he wants. We don’t have a right relationship with the Lord if we selectively worship him. David declared “I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” David understood when he’s up he’ll bless the Lord. When death dawns his door, he’ll bless the Lord. When loved ones act out of character, he’ll bless the Lord. We must have this same attitude; no matter what comes our way our worship will not stop.

Job 1:20-22
Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship. He said, “I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will be naked when I leave. The LORD gave me what I had, and the LORD has taken it away. Praise the name of the LORD!” In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God.

Good morning and Merry Christmas. The best present we can ever have this Christmas is a relationship with the Lord. If you didn’t get a present or couldn’t afford to buy presents for your children or loved one’s don’t cry about it or feel bad. Thank God you have one another and that you’re still alive. Instead of looking for a present on Jesus’ birthday, give him a present. Let’s present our bodies as a living sacrifice; holy and acceptable which is our reasonable service. Let’s worship him for who he is and not what he does. Enjoy this day and bask in the love of God not in a material present.

Isaiah 9:6
For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Good morning. In Christ we are free. Yet, we still must be careful who we worship with. Just because someone puts God name on something doesn’t mean that’s for us. The Bible declares to try the spirit and see if it’s of God. If we lack discernment we need to ask for it. Ignorance of the law is no defense in court, neither is ignorance of the word of God a defense before the Lord. We’ve heard enough about God to search the scriptures for ourselves. Let’s not be foolish and provoke God and he reigns down his wrath upon us.

1 Corinthians 10:21-22
You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too. What? Do we dare to rouse the Lord’s jealousy? Do you think we are stronger than he is?

Good morning. No matter what it looks like it’s working for our good. Some may say; how is tragedy and sorrow working for our good? It’s working for our good because it’s making us pray and call on the name of the Lord. It’s funny how when everything is going right we give God all the praise. Yet, as soon as we hit a bump in the road, we start questioning our faith and wondering if God is real or why is he allowing this to happen. He’s the same God that was God when good things were happening to us and he’s the same God when tragedy and sorrow comes. So, don’t fall out of love with God when things are not going your way.

Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Good morning. When God has been so good to us it makes us want to sing his praises. When we’ve prayed and he’s answered, it gives us confidence in knowing he’s attentive to our every need. Our souls rejoice when we know the word of God is true; God is a very present help in the time of trouble. So, sing unto the Lord a new song for he is worthy to be praised.

Psalms 108:1-3
My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart! Wake up, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, LORD, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations.
