Now is the time for you to start living and stop saying; when I get older. Now is the time for you start that business and stop saying; when I get the money. Now is the time for you to step out on faith and stop saying; when everything lines up. Now is the time to make up your mind to give your life to God and serve him, and stop saying; tomorrow because I have time. No man knows the day nor the hour when Jesus shall return or call your number. Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today.

Often times we like to cast our cares on each other. We want to know what there’s would do if they were in our situation. We are looking for them to either talk us in or out of something. I’m good for this. I like to call my mother and cast all of my cares on her. However, she leads me right back to the person I should cast my cares on and that’s God. I know my mother will give me sound advice that’s why I go to her, but her advice is not better than God’s solutions for my problems. We will have less anxiety and worry when we start placing our trust solely in God. He knows what’s best for us and he doesn’t make mistakes. So the next time you find yourself in a jam or a situation that’s too much for you, cast your cares on God and no one else.

God’s word is true even when our situation seems out of control. We have to read it, meditate on it, and follow what it says to do. Many of us are scared to take God at his word because we can’t see him or feel him. However, that’s the best thing we can do. God’s word will never change. His word is power and life. His word is sharper than any two-edged sword. His word will heal, deliver and set free. God’s word never lies.

When people don’t understand you, they talk about you. When people don’t understand why you are the way you are, they find fault with you. We would be better off if we just communicated with each other. If we don’t understand a person, trying sitting down and have a conversation. You may just find that you might have something in common. All of us have been misunderstood at one point in our lives; and we were trying to figure out why were people treating us the way they did. We didn’t like it. So, if we didn’t like it, what makes us think the other person likes the way we treat them when we don’t understand them. The bible says; in all thy getting, get an understanding. A little bit of conversation goes a long way.

As a preacher I’m often called upon to pray. Praying comes natural to me and I like to pray. But when I’m called upon to pray for families in bereavement it’s hard. I know no matter what I pray, words are not enough. Their hearts are broken, the bottom has just fell out from under them, life as they know it has changed forever, and I have to find a way to say words. It’s in these moments I find silence sometimes is the best. If they want to scream, curse, yell, holler or whatever, I let them do it; because I really don’t know their pain at that moment. While I’m silent I’m praying Lord fix it. Lord do it. Lord comfort. Lord have your way. Lord what do I say when I do speak. If you’re helping someone through the grieving process it’s ok to be quiet. You don’t always have to say something. Pray for the peace of God to come in and let his presence fill the room.

Our country is in a state of disarray. We seem like a nation that has forgotten God. Hatred amongst races is very strong. The enemy is having a field day with our country. The remedy is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

When God is on your side, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. When God is on your side, every tongue that rise against you shall be condemned. When God is on your side, don’t wait until the battle is over, shout now. When God is on your side, you don’t have to fret or fear. If God be for you, who can be against you.

I’m making it a habit to apologize quickly to people that I’ve wronged. If I talk harsh to them and offend them I apologize. I want to be pleasing in God’s eyes. Life is too short to be holding grudges and backbiting. Some of the people may never accept my apology and that’s ok. As long as I’ve done what God said to do, it’s fine with me. Don’t let pride keep you from apologizing. Even if you’re right about what you’ve said or done, you may still find yourself saying; I’m sorry, will you forgive me.

Waiting on the Lord is not as easy as it sounds. You become anxious, you sometimes become nervous and began to worry. All the while God is saying; I got you. I preach about waiting on God, but then I have to live it. I must admit, I always I have to come back and repent for allowing doubt, worry, and a lack of faith to creep in. I know God is not a man that he should lie and yet, I become anxious. If you’re waiting on God to do something in your life, please trust and believe him and stand on his word. No matter what it looks like. I’ve been waiting on the Lord and he just answered my prayer from February. All I can say is, he may not come when you want him, but you’ll want him when he comes. He came this morning in a form of an email, a promotion, and a move. #wonthedoit

Did you wake up this morning and say; Lord I thank you for another day? Or, did you wake up this morning complaining? Did you say; this is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it? Or; did you curse the day you were born? The old saints used to say; I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus. They would say; when I rose this morning I said thank you Lord. They would say; it’s just another day that the Lord has kept me. Everyday you’re blessed to be above the ground, take time out to tell God thank you.
