Wisdom - knowing God's Words, and intentionally applying it to your life. <- this is how you walk in wisdom.  We must put filter our lives through the Word and put our shoulder to the plow rather than squandering our opportunities.  Try to understand what the will of the LORD is for YOU.  Not just "Lord, Lord!", but he who does what God wills will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  You can't enter the narrow gate and walk the broad path.  "How you walk" is in the Bible, because it DOES matter how you walk.

There's a difference between time and opportunities; I may have more time, but I will not have this opportunity.

TODAY is the day the Lord has made - let us rejoice and be glad in IT.

What can I do be doing/starting that employs the talents and time I've been given to glorify Him or benefit and bring attention to the importance of the people around me?



My time is not my own, Jesus - please show me how you would you have me use it.




Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine AND PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE is like a wise man who built Hid house on the rock.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house; yet it DID NOT FALL, because it had its foundation on the rock.  But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built His house on sand.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. (Matt 7)

The WISE woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. 
(Prov 14:1)

God promises all that we need for life and godliness; with no exception. And when the Bible says all  that we need, it means... all ! Our good and gracious Father does not give us a little sliver of grace for obedience, and then leave us exhausting ourselves in futile attempts to draw strength from the well of self-effort. He gives the full measure of grace needed to victoriously live the Christian life, not just sometimes, not just when our “if only” ideals become reality. Right now, in your current situation and season of life, God has made available to you all that is needed for glad obedience. It is when we are relying on our own strength and power to obey, and not on the power of Christ, that we find ourselves failing and faltering! It is then, when we are tempted to shift the blame for disobedience onto our circumstances; it is then that we insist that we would obey “if only”. If you are not giving out of your little, you will not give out of your plenty. God d...

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. Dear children, let US not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth .  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us.  For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.  And THIS is His command: to believe in the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.  Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them.  And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:16, 18-20 How do we set our hearts at rest in His presence, even when our hearts seem to condemn us?  Love one another.  Not with words or tongue, but wit...

Some of my many random thoughts tonight, after skimming through old website bookmarks... PRAYING THE WORD FOR MY HUSBAND I love structure and I love God’s Word. Put the two together and you have a beautiful thing when it comes to prayer. Here are seven Scripture-based prayers you and I can pray to God on behalf of our husbands. That he would be given the STRENGTH he needs to fulfill his mission. Mighty God, grant my husband courage and the ability to find His strength in you. I pray he would not fear nor be dismayed and He would remember that You are always with Him. Holy Spirit, strengthen him with power his inner being. (Ephesians 3:16; 6:10, Joshua 1:6-9) That our MARRIAGE would be strong. Jesus, show my husband what it looks like to love me as you loved the church. Help me to love and serve him with a submissive and respectful heart. (Ephesians 5:25-33) That he would THRIVE in his ministry and personal life. I pray that he would be rooted and g...
