Proverbs 27:1

"Don't brashly announce what you're going to do tomorrow; you don't know the first thing about tomorrow"

We often have an idea in our minds of what we want and hope our lives to be and we should take action to that end. However we must also leave room in our lives for God's plans. We must rest in and listen to His holy spirit for guidance. And when there are forks in the road we must see them as opportunity to follow His ultimate plan.

James 3:17

"Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings"

One of our greatest struggles is to live in reflection of God's wisdom. But applying the knowledge of Our Father, practical application in our everyday lives, this is when we find ultimate peace and fulfillment. This is when we truly find and reflect the wisdom of God.

John 13:15

"I've laid down a pattern for you. What I've done, you do"

Jesus entered a wilderness similar to that of this modern day. One where temptation abounds. Hew was often tested and lead astray. But it was in this moment that Jesus found His greatest strength. He found courage, clarity, and purpose. All rooted from feasting on His Father's love and guidance from the Holy Spirit. As we go forth today may we reject the life this world tells us we should lead and instead follow in the footsteps of Jesus. For He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Philipians 4:19

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"

Throughout His live Jesus showed us the act of supporting and giving to one another, as a way to live a truly Christian life. It is in community with our Father that our needs are heard and understood, and it is in community with others here on earth that those needs are met.

Mark 11:23

"I tell you the truth, you can say to his mountain, "Go fall in to the sea: and if you have no doubt in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, God will do it for you"

As long as we have faith, that we trust in Our Father, and we have the courage and trust in ourselves, there is no peak we can't overcome. There is no mountain too big for our God and therefore there is no mountain too big for us. Maybe it is only God who can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God.

Psalm 37:8

"Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others - it only leads to harm"

Rather than succumb to the sin of envy, focus on the marvelous thing that God has done in our lives. Thank the Giver of all good things and keep thanking Him for the wonders of His love, and the miracle of His creation. Count your own blessings and let your neighbors count thiers.

James 1:5

"If you need wisdom -if you want to know what God wants you to do - ask Him, and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking"

When we have question we can consult God's word, we can seek guidance of the Holy Spirit. When we do, God speaks to us in His own way and in His own time, and when He does, we most certainly can trust the answers that He gives.

Hebrews 10:24-25

"Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshipping together as some do but spurring each other on"

may we spread the light of our Savior Jesus and may we bring a little bit of Heaven to this earth by being positive, having an optimistic outlook on our lives, lifting those up around us, especially those that ae down, and may we do so out of the love that we as Christians have come to know.

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives do I give you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful"

Today may we rise above the turbulence of this life, of this world. May we calm our fears by recognizing our true destination and receiving the peace of our Heavenly Father's promises.

Phillipians 2:14-15

"Do everything without complaining or arguing. Then you will b innocent and without any wrong"

When we complain it is the posture of our enemy, one that is deployed to keep us from truly taking in and enjoying the abundant life God has given. Instead, may we put our life in perspective, count our blessings, and take joy in everything our Heavenly Father has given.
