ON LEVEL GROUND

“ON LEVEL GROUND”

MONDAY, MAY 04, 2009


Psalm 27:11

"Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path."


Ever fell like life is just an up hill battle? Do you feel like you are always climbing and clawing your way up to where you want to be? Perhaps you should take a moment and allow God to get you there. Allow God to teach you His way through His word. God teaches us to be more in his light through his word. It levels the hills and valleys. Better yet! It levels the playing field. Understanding God’s word gives you an inner strength and confidence that gives strength in the face of adversity. You will continue to face challenges but the in a different light! God will lead you on a level path in every aspect of your life. In your finances, in your relationships, in your employment, in your prayer life… Everything!

How does one study God’s word? I always encourage people to read Matthew and John in the New Testament first. It puts things in proper prospective and gets you started. However, there is no one way to study the bible. But get with a known member of the clergy that can answer your questions. Attend Sunday School and Bible Studies with your church. Here at my home Friday night is Pizza and Bible night. We play games and discuss the bible. This builds confidence in my children to know the word. It is a part of their life and routine. You will see a change in your life and the way you think about life as you grow in the word of the Lord. Through Jesus your thoughts will become more level and your problems will be easier to deal with when you are looking at them through the light. Have a great week! In the name of Jesus. AMEN!

Put All Your Trust In God!

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others. --Philippians 2:3-4 This past week, God blessed me to minister to my older sister in New Jersey. She called me because of a business deal that had not gone the way she had hoped. In short, a friend under cut the deal and gained the property in their own interest. For those who do not know my sister, she epitomizes this week's scripture. She is a wonderful person with a free and giving spirit. Over the years, I have and watched as she would give loans to family and friends many of these loans were never repaid. I can not recall one single instant where she has every asked for money back that she has given to me. She elected to stay in New Jersey to be close to our Mother, while the rest of us moved on and out of Newark, N.J. and til this day, I have never heard her complain or voice an...

SOMETIMES WAITING IS HARD

ECCLESIASTES 3:11 11God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. We are taught at a very young age to be excited about expected events. I remember as a child that I could hardly wait for my birthday, holidays, and Summer Breaks. Sometimes as an adult I find myself anxious waiting for things I desire from God. I heard someone say that as we look at our watches; God looks at the calendar. Waiting on God is sometimes a difficult discipline for believers to develop. By nature we're not patient, and our culture offers little encouragement to develop the habit. We want, we need, and we believe that we deserve what we desire now. Credit card companies and retailers have made billions of dollars on this fact alone. There is no doubt many of us may be waiting for a number of things, too: a victory, a healing, peace in the family, growth in the family, vi...

Isaiah 9:6 “ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
