Daily scripture and thoughts



Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8 ESV)


Dear Ones-

We spend so much time thinking about so many things.. money in which we dont have enough of, girlfriends, lovers, spouses, our wants, our flesh, children, and list can go on and on- but the Word reminds us of the things we should be thinking about. It reminds us - that if we want to stop just living mediocre Christian lives then we have to STOP thinking about all the meaningless things and start thinking about things that will change us, change our thought process and change how we deal with things and others.

So many people(believers) who know the Word and think they live for Christ but yet their sin is the same, it never changing always the same- have you wondered how to change it? .... are you ready for it??


STOP THINING ABOUT YOURSELF-- STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU ONLY- stop thinking about your flesh, your wants, your desires.. want to know how to stop???

here you go- here is the recipe and it is given right here in the word " THINK ON THESE THINGS"
 What things you ask?

what is true- the Word
What is honorable- Christ
Whatever is Just- His law
whatever is pure- His Salvation
whatever is lovely- His creation
whatever is commendable- the very Character of God

There you have it- what do you plan on doing with it now? This is not a new Word- you may have read it before or even memorized but are you living this Word in your life?? Are you sure??? Can someone look at you right away and see the light of Christ living within you? or do you look like everyone else? Are you acting like everyone else?? When will you stop making excuses and start seeing that the time to change and live for Him, In HIM and with HIM is now!!!

Lord thank you again for another profound truth.. Another reminder of what we are to be thinking of, how we are to think!! Help me Father to think of these things!!
In Jesus Name- Amen

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
