Daily encouragement for Christians
Were you taught to never be afraid to speak as long as you were being truthful? The truth shall set you free–right? Not always. Reading through Proverbs 21, my mind lingers on the verses about the nagging wife–the reminders that “it is better to live on a corner of the roof” or “in the desert, […]
Have you heard it said that “God helps him who helps himself?” Do you believe it? Who do you think said it? It wasn’t Father. That is not the way He works. It does make sense from our human perspective that the harder we try the better our chances of success, But what is it […]
Do you have a platform; somewhere you can voice your views or initiate action? If you are on any social media sites you have a place where you can share what’s on your mind or in your heart. How do you use your soapbox? It may be a place for idle chit chat, someplace to […]
If you read Proverbs 8 you will find God’s most ancient creation is calling. Do you hear her raising her voice? Her name is Wisdom. “ADONAI [the Lord] made me as the beginning of his way, the first of his ancient works. I was appointed before the world, before the start, before the earth’s beginnings.” […]

Intently seeking Father’s message for the day I felt prompted to go to Daniel 4:3. Your version may have this passage numbered as 3:32; the CJB starts the chapter at the beginning of the letter: “I am pleased to recount the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done for me.” As I […]
Do you believe everything your brain tells you? Have you ever given your soul permission to call your brain out as a liar? My doctor sent me a video he wanted me to watch about fibromyalgia and afterward asked for my response. I said, “At first, I thought you were trying to tell me that […]

Have you ever felt that Satan was hindering you from completing a task for the Lord? Chances are yes if you ever put your heart into it.
