Want an answer? Ask God first. James 1:5

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.

Don’t wait! Buy it now! Grab the gusto before it goes! You’re only young once! Go for it! No one will know! Call that guy or girl! Blurt out your inner most thoughts! Let it all hang out! Buy that car…and on and on…

I’ve jumped into quicksand so many times because I didn’t wait for God or because I didn’t ask God what road I should have taken. Things can turn out differently if we stop and ask for God’s wisdom and then follow through. If we’re going to ask for God’s wisdom, then we must be willing to obey…

The key message is this: Talk to God when things are going well for you. Pray before you are shaken up. And, you will be shaken up at some point.

Ask God to give you revelation and discipline in the areas where you are tempted. We’re usually tempted in the areas where we are weak by our own desires and choices.

James 1:14 Temptation comes from the lure of our own evil desires.

Don’t be sucked in with the world’s wisdom. Don't blame others for your shortcomings. Remember that you will have to answer to an all-powerful God.

I want to be on His good side.

God bless you!

Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15 Psalm 92: 12 Good people will prosper like palm trees, and they will grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. 13 They will take root in your house, LORD God, and they will do well. 14 They will be like trees that stay healthy and fruitful, even when they are old. 15 And they will say about you, “The LORD always does right!

Sweet Sixteen

Today is my spiritual birthday – the date that changed my entire life. It’s the before and after life changing date when my eyes were opened to the divineness of God. I’ve been on an exhilarating and sometimes uncomfortable journey full of experiences I never imagined I could or want to handle. But the best part of my journey is how God expanded my closed “religious” mind and views. The knowledge I have is but a drop in the cosmic (heavenly) bucket; and I’ve learned that I’m in no position to impose my views on people of different faiths or no faiths. There’s room at the table for all of us. We are all welcome and loved! There’s always room at the table. My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure. That fateful, ever evolving connection to God has powered everything about my life. It has taken me from the depths of despair to the heights of love; fr...

The best 10 years of my life Acts 20:24 (The Voice) …The only value I place on my life is that I may finish my race, that I may fulfill the ministry that Jesus our King has given me, that I may gladly tell the good news of God’s grace. I’m sure May 2, 2006, the day God’s presence become real for me and my life changed, will be pale in comparison to heaven. Since God awakened me, I’ve lived in constant awareness that life on Earth isn’t “it.” This is not my final destination and the thought excites me. What will happen when I see His face? Meanwhile, my mission gets more urgent. While these have been the best years of my life, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced losses and disappointments. But I’m no longer desperate through tough times. I’m also not easily discouraged because my Lifeline is constantly with me. God is powerful. Two things enhance my walk: deep, sold-out love and reading His word. Love The Lord commands us to LOVE HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART...
