Don't Be Lazy!!!

8/12/2026

“. . . Rather train yourself for godliness. For the training of the body has limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8

It is not an "either/or" situation. You can train your body AND train to know God more.

Lord, help me to do both and help me to avoid the excuse that I can only do one.

More Words, More Problems!!

8/10/2026

“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.” Colossians 4:6

There is a direct correlation between both volume and quality of our words AND the quantity and severity of our problems in life.

Lord, help me to not only watch what I say and how I say it but also how much I say.

One Degree matters!

8/7/2026

“A quick-tempered person acts foolishly, and one who schemes is hated.” Proverbs 14:17

One degree of temperature rarely makes a difference. You aren't going to notice it. However, there is a huge difference between First and Second Degree Manslaughter. First degree is intentional, while Second degree is an accident. Both result in death but each has a different punishment for the offender. We all get angry. Acting quickly is still wrong but can be understood and the response is often grace. Premeditated response to anger is unacceptable.

Lord, help me to avoid the horrible results of my anger regardless of my intent.

The Only Bible ...

8/6/2026

“Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love…” Ephesians 4:1-2

Someone once said, "You may be the only bible that someone ever reads!' Wow, that isn't pressure at all. If that is the case, where do we start? How about ... Humility. Gentleness. Patience. Love.

Lord, help me to at least to attempt to be who You want me to be.

More Than You Think!!!!

8/5/2026

"My soul, bless the LORD, and do not forget all his benefits.” Psalm 103:2

If we truly stop, take a deep breath and think about it, we have much more than what we don't have.

Lord, help me to see all the blessings and not focus on the one or two challenges.

No Fear!!!

8/4/2026

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear is not from God. Fear is a result of our lack of trust. When we fear, we need to ask, "what am I failing to trust God for".

Lord, help me to trust You more and fear less.

RISAW!!!

8/3/2026

“Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown. So I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air. Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

"Run In Such A Way"!!!! Do things with a purpose. Have a plan. Get uncomfortable. Be intentional. Take some risk. Run In Such A Way ... RISAW!!!

Lord, help me to avoid being lazy and satisfied.

This Little Light Of Mine ...

7/31/2026

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5

It is not MY light that shines but the light of Jesus shining through me ... when I allow it to by getting out of the way.

Lord, help me to be a window for Your light and not a cave trying to hide it.

People Change!!

7/30/2026

"Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2

The longer you live and the more people you know, the more you realize that you will come across many people in your life that you will say, "it is hard to believe that (insert name) will ever change" and then later on say "(insert same name) has never changed". But it is also true you will come across an equal number of people that you will say, "I never thought (insert name) would change and they are now a completely different human being."

Lord, thank You for having the power to change ANYONE!

Who's Got it Better than Us ...

7/29/2026

“For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.” Hebrews 12:3

... Nobody!!!! The fact is that life is hard. The fact is that it could be much worse. Focus on what you have and not what you don't.

Lord, thank You so much!!!!!
