I spent the night tossing and turning and worrying about something that I have absolutely no control over. Isn't it silly to do such a thing? I woke up this morning still worried about it. Whatever will be, will be in this situation and there is absolutely nothing that I can do to change the situation. Some may say that I should pray to receive what I want. I have prayed but my prayer is for God's will to be done, not my own. In all honesty I'm worried because God's will may not coincide with mine in this situation, and I will not get the result that I desire . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/tossing-and-turning-all-night-2/

A reader wrote and asked the following question in response to a Words for the Day I wrote a couple of days ago: "I've always pondered this, but don't know where to find the answer: Since we only know about Jesus's last 3 or so years of his life, how do we know he lived a perfect life? And what exactly is a perfect life? I'm sincerely searching for these answers." . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/perfection-perplexing/

I am not known for my patience. Then how could I ever advise anyone about patience you might ask. Easy . . . there are lots of things that the Bible teaches that we cannot master ourselves, but can still be taught. In fact no person can live up to Gods expectations and patience is one of His expectations. Jesus was the only one who ever lived a perfect life and in order to learn anything we must always go to His example and God' s holy word the Bible, not ourselves . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/how-to-be-patient-2/

I am a rabid Georgia Bulldog fan, two of my sons graduated from there and I have supported the Dawgs through thick and thin, and it was heart-breaking to watch them lead the National Championship game until late in the 4th quarter only to lose in overtime. I was beyond sickened . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/it-still-hurts-but-less/

Yesterday I received a response to my post Truth or Consequences and the person asked that I unsubscribe him and then added: "BTW - People like you are why Im not a Christian." . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/light-it-up/

I was watching television commercials played on the National Championship game last night. The first was about a miniature sized, overtly homosexual guy dressed in tights who was attempting to sing in a falsetto voice and twirling around in an effeminate way in an effort to promote Diet Dr. Pepper. That ad was followed by a commercial for Taco Bell that depicted Taco Bell as "Belluminati" referencing the 1000-year-old darkest form of Satanism, Illuminati with dark imaging used by Illuminati worldwide . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/truth-or-consequences-2/

I go through a ritual in the mornings, whereby the first thing I do, after prayer, is read the news. This process used to take an hour and a half, because I review several newspapers and news websites viewing both liberal and conservative viewpoints in an effort to obtain some truth and understanding of what is going on in the world daily . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/away-with-the-ugly-in-with-the-beautiful/

I find myself rarely agreeing with what the current Pope has to say about things, these days, but in a recent television interview he said, "The Devil is more intelligent than mere mortals and should never be argued with, Satan is not a metaphor or a nebulous concept but a real person armed with dark powers. He went on to say, "I'm convinced that one must never converse with Satan – if you do that, you'll be lost. He's more intelligent than us, and he'll turn you upside down, he'll make your head spin. He always pretends to be polite – he does it with priests, with bishops. That's how he enters your mind." . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/you-dont-have-to-lose-the-temptation-war/

Recently the Jesus Alliance received a small grant completely unsolicited from a foundation. In fact, I'd never even heard of them. Though it was not a large amount of money, it was greatly needed and appreciated as are all donations. A letter came with check enclosed; it wasn't printed on fancy letterhead and appeared to be hand crafted. The letter read that larger grants were available and if I would like to apply for one go to their website address. The biggest need of the Jesus Alliance is funding, so I immediately went to it . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/will-you-be-in-charge/

I finally saw something on the news and Twitter worth writing about. This article was written by Fox 29 Philadelphia | Fox News . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/love-talk-conviction-no-worries/
