If you can trust Him with your eternal destiny, you can certainly trust Him with small needs in this life.

The Bible gives the secret: “Be strong IN THE LORD and in the power of HIS MIGHT.” (Eph. 6: 10)

Let’s face it, people are bored and scared. The endless news reports keep you scared. The endless limitations keep you bored.

With American life systematically shutting down, it’s easy to get “low.” We think negative, we talk negative, we spread negativity.

Fear does not change the situation, it only clouds your path forward.

Here are three “trees” you can put into any toxic relationship and begin the process of healing:

“Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall FLOURISH in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be FRESH and FLOURISHING” (Ps. 92: 13,14, NKJV).

Here Are My Top 5 Reasons I Believe A Believer Should Attach Themselves To A Solid Local Church:

It’s not easy to see God’s side of your problem.He sees the END; you see the BEGINNING.  Hesees the TRUTH; you see the FACTS.

“The Lord is with you.”  What exactly does that mean?  Is it more than a sweet phrase?

All relationships start with trust. The more we trust, the more we let our guard down and relax.  You have a “secret place” in your life for those you trust. Who is in that “secret place?” Is there anyone there but yourself?

We all want to do better with our time. The secret of using time wisely is in the “perfect day.”

Try these four key secrets that brought those miners through and will deliver you as well:

2. Find an encourager.

3. Breathe…and sing

4. “Trust.”

Strife is a time waster. If you could eliminate strife from your life, your free time to create, build, and change things would go through the roof.

Where does strife come from and how can I eliminate it from my daily life?

Buying a used car can be tricky.  They may tell you all about how wonderful that old car is but do they tell you about the oil leak?  The rust underneath?  The bent frame or the flood the vehicle went through?

Satan doesn’t tell you everything, either.   When we read the story of Adam and Eve, we get the full picture of Satan’s “sales pitch.”

HERE ARE THE THINGS THAT ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT TOLD WHEN THEY INNOCENTLY REACHED OUT AND PLUCKED THAT FORBIDDEN FRUIT:

Your eye is the most sophisticated camera in the world.  It takes lenses, reflection, focus, and communication to send “sight” to the brain.

Your spirit must be equally focused to communicate “insight” into your soul. 

Here are three steps I use to “see” further into 2020 and “focus” that image into my soul:

The commercialism of Christmas is in high gear.  Amazon trucks are rolling.  Malls are packed.  Trees and tinsel prepare for the Christmas Day “loot.”

There is a “presence,” an atmosphere in Christmas that’s about a lot more than Santa Claus.

HERE, FOR ME, IS THE “PRESENCE” OF CHRISTMAS:

I love to pray.  It hasn’t always been that way.  I have moved from “desire” to “discipline” to “delight.”

LET ME TELL YOU A FEW THINGS THAT HAVE HELPED ME:

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke went to heaven this week. Perhaps the greatest evangelist of all time, he watched 79 MILLION people respond to Christ in his 35 years of crusades.
