I hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving celebration!

Self-examination is good from time to time as an aid to keep you on course. But to dwell on your mistakes, shortcomings, and faults only produces condemnation and degradation, which is not helpful. You cannot change events from the past, but you can learn from them as a part of your growth process. My will...

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you  have received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”  Rom 8:14-15, NLT Live like you love Him!

Your spiritual sense of a shift in the balance of power is causing a feeling of insecurity. However, your security does not come from external conditions but from the strength of your relationship with Me. Do not pin your hopes on things of the world.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught...

God’s servant must not be argumentative, but a gentle listener and a teacher who keeps cool, 25 working firmly but patiently with those who refuse to obey. You never know how or when God might sober them up with a change of heart and a turning to the truth, 26 enabling them to escape the...

Set yourself apart to seek My presence. This is especially necessary in the midst of the hubbub in the world around you. It is easy to get caught up in the noise and turmoil even when you are not directly involved or responsible for it. Your devotion to Me is everything (Burns).  Matthew 6:24 No...
