Wait Your Turn

Has God told you you’re next in line for a blessing, but you’re too anxious, and you’re trying to skip the person in front of you? Wait your turn. If God said it; then he will do it. The bible says; be anxious for nothing. Although, God said he’s going to bless you, he didn’t said when, where, and how. He told you you’re next in line, but he didn’t tell you how long the person in front of you would take. So, while you’re waiting on your blessing, enjoy God and the blessings he’s already given you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It’s Not Always The Enemy

When bad stuff happens, it’s not always the enemy. Sometimes it’s God. Sometimes God allows evil things or bad things to happen. In Psalms 44 the people were serving him faithfully, they had no other gods, they walked upright before the Lord, and he still allowed the enemy to overtake them and make them look like fools. In 1Samuel 16:14 the Lord let his spirit depart from Saul then he sent an evil spirit to Saul. In Job, God gave Satan permission to touch everything of Job’s except his life. So when things start going bad; instead of giving the enemy credit, we need to ask God is this you. We need to ask God what is the purpose of having me tormented by you. God may never answer the question or you may not like the answer he gives. However, you can take solace in the fact, that he won’t put more on you than you can bear and that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord and are the called according to his purpose. It’s not always the enemy, sometimes it’s God.

Do Your Best

Have you ever looked at what someone else was doing and started comparing yourself to them? Did you start to feel inadequate? Did you think you’ll never amount to them? Well you know that’s not true. God has you on a different path than the person you’re looking at. All God wants you to do is be obedient, be a willing vessel, and do your best.

 When you start comparing yourself to other people you become unfocused. The enemy’s job is to get you to focus on everything other than the assignment God gave you. The person you’re looking at may seem to have it going on, but they are struggling in some areas of their life as well. No one said your path would be easy, but it’s your path. So make the most of it, trailblaze it, show people the awesomeness of God by cultivating it. Most of all, do your best and be a good steward over the path that God has given you. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

When Life Frustrates You

We have to be careful when life frustrates us, because frustration takes us off focus. When we become frustrated, sometimes we don’t think clearly and we act irrationally. Acting irrationally can cause more damage than intended. The bible says; be angry and sin not. So, there’s nothing wrong with being frustrated, however; the actions we do while being frustrated is the issue. We need to learn how to take all of our problems to God no matter how big or small. He will help us get through this frustrated time in our lives. We can tell him how we really feel and not worry about people posting it on social media, media backlash, a scandal, etc…I’ve learned, venting to God is very therapeutic. I’ve also learned, I may not always like his response back to me when I’m done. However, my issues are safe with him and he’s trustworthy, and he is the only one that can fix it. 

So, when life frustrates you, don’t be so quick to lash out. Take a deep breath, look at the situation for what it is and try to make the wisest decision. We always ask what would Jesus do. Well, we know Jesus wouldn’t curse nobody out, bust them upside the head, burn their house down, shoot them, or go around and spread gossip. No!  Jesus would draw them with love and kindness.

Anyway You Bless Me

Do we pray and ask God to bless us, then turn around and try to tell him how to bless us? How many of us have missed our blessing, because it didn’t come packaged the way we thought it should come? We need to get this in our spirits; anyway you bless me Lord, I’ll be satisfied. When you say anyway you bless me Lord; you’re saying, Lord I’ll stay in my lane and mind my business while you handle your business. God knows when, where, and how to bless you; he doesn’t need your help or opinions in how he should carry out your blessing. He might want to bless you in the presence of your enemies. He might might want to bless you in the presence of your nay saying family members. He might want to bless you in church, just to give someone hope. We don’t know the mind of God or his thoughts. So, instead of trying to instruct him and give him a command, we need to say; Lord help me to hold out until my change come. Lord you blessed me before and I believe you’ll bless me again. Anyway you bless me Lord, I’ll be satisfied. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

There Has To Be More To Life

Have you ever said to yourself; there has to be more to life than this? Well, you’re absolutely right. There is more to life than just going to work, paying bills, and barely making it. There is more to life than our daily routines. The bible says; in John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Jesus intends for you to live an abundant life. So get up, get out, and live. Try something new, go after your passion, explore your dreams. Just because no one in your family has ever done it, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Even with all my travels around the world, I thought I was doing something, and one day God told me to live a little. I was shocked, because I thought I was living it up. God was showing me how I was allowing fear to hold me back from something’s; how I was afraid to take any kind of risk and was being to rigid in life. Now that I’m learning to really live, I am truly finding out, that there is more to life than this.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Unapologetic 

Stop apologizing for the blessings that God has bestowed upon you. It’s not like your blessings came overnight. You’ve been through hell and high water. You’ve known pain, you’ve known heartache and now, God is given you double for your trouble. So, don’t apologize. All of your blessings are not material anyway. Many of them are spiritual, and people are jealous of your spiritual gifts as well as your material gifts. If you’re not careful, you will be apologizing for what you have, what you don’t have, and what you’re trying to get. People will try to put you in a box and it’s up to you not to get boxed in. The next time someone wants you to apologize for what God has done in your life, tell them; all they have to do is seek God for themselves and let God show them who he is.

I’m Here For You

Have you ever told someone I’m here for you and you can call me day or night? Well when they called you in the middle of the night, did you say; I’m sleep, I’ve had a long day can you call me back later? If you did, then you were not there for that person, you lied. When someone calls you in the middle of the night it’s not to crack jokes and gossip; they need help, someone to talk to, a shoulder to lean on, someone to touch and agree with them. You may have been their last lifeline but you were tired because you had a long day. Well, it’s good to know we can go to Jesus day or night. He never sleeps and never lumbers. If you go to Jesus in the middle of the night, he won’t hang up on you. He will let you vent, cry, scream, yell, and get everything out. He will be a shoulder to lean on, and he will hold you if you need to be held. He’ll rock you to sleep and ease your troubled mind. He will be there to comfort you. Truly, he’ll be there for you. He’ll be there when things are good and when things are bad. When God says I’m here for you, he really means it. When man says I’m here for you, be careful it may not always be true.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Get Mad At Yourself

There should be times when we go to church and leave mad at ourselves. We should be mad because, we sit in the presence of God then leave out to still live trifling lifestyles. We should be mad because nothing provoked us to change. It’s not up to the pastor or preacher to change us. It’s up to us. We need to make up in our minds; that we’re tired of living a life that’s not pleasing to God. We’re tired of going to church and tainting the atmosphere by singing in the choir, preaching in the pulpit, ushering on the usher board, being a deacon, trustee, or church mother and Sunday school teacher, and our lives don’t line up with the word. We should get so mad and say; not another day, will I live saved on Sunday and hellish Monday- Saturday. Not another day, will I look like l’m living holy and my lifestyle is raggedy. Not another day, will I play with God and continue in sin because of his grace. Enough is Enough. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

The Truth

If you really want the truth about something talk to kids. They have nothing to lose. They are not trying to gain your friendship, buy your love, or be on your good side. You want to know if you look fat, if your weave looks nice, who likes you or can’t stand you in church, ask a kid. They have no filters and they are not worried about your feelings. Kids are not trying to win a popularity contest with adults. We always tell kids to stay in their place, and when they tell us the truth we get mad. Actually, they are staying in their place. They are telling us the truth from their perspective, from what they see, and from what they’ve heard about us. I welcome the truth from my kids, no matter how harsh it may seem. At least kids are learning to speak their minds, unlike adults who lie and try to hide and hold things in. Free yourself and talk to a kid today. You’d be amazed what they have to tell you about you. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
