YOU can decide to be happy and blessed! It is your choice. Paul said, "I have decided within my self." There is a solid formula in Ps. 1 for being blessed and it is all up to you and me! We have the choice to be happy or sad and down and depressed.

You've heard it called the "information highway"---and so much of it is lies. Whether it is lying politicians or lying news people or false prophets lying about what the Lord said---beware! Guard your heart and mind and know what the Word of God says! Watch who you listen to!

You are a composite of the 5 people you hang around the most. Who do you listen to? Who do you take advice from? Who is your spiritual guide? Do you know what you believe?

What is happening in the Ukraine? How much worse do you think it will get before Jesus comes?   How can I be blessed in these times?

Prepare to be shocked!

Do you really believe God can do anything? I mean anything! We oft times say we believe but when push comes to shove---we let go of the one and only hope we have for a certain situation. These are hard times BUT GOD is able and is still the God of the impossible!

Paul said in Acts 27: "Sirs I believe God!" Though he would eventually be shipwrecked and you and I may go through our share of "shipwrecks" in life---God is always there and He has given us a precious book full of His promises. Our choice is to believe Him and to read and study His promises and take heart!

Life, even for a Christian, is full of ups and downs. Trails come, attacks come---as a child of God they are promised and these are very challenging days. BUT GOD! He is sure, steady and has all the hope and answers we need!

This is the age of discontent! How do you witness to someone totally against God? What does Romans 13 mean when it says if we resist the "powers" of God we bring damnation on ourselves? Where did this era of discontent start? How should we treat those who oppose God?

Doubt cancels faith. It is one of the biggest tools of the enemy. Jesus said if we ask "and doubt not!" An ounce of doubt and you're out! Trust me, we've all been there and in this world it's tough reminding ourselves we are children of a King and He has everything we need!
