Thought of the Day—“Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.” Psalm 37:8. Easier said than done but many times when we are in so much turmoil, we can’t hear God speaking to us. Satan uses this tactic all of the time whether it is from the social media or in our private lives. We need to somehow take the time to “be still and know that I am God”, to listen for His guidance and to ignore outside negative influences…John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Be still and know…

Thought of the Day–1/7/18
Thought of the Day—“I sure would like another pay cut”, said no one…ever. Why do we short change ourselves when it comes to God’s resources? He will provide our needs if we would only ask Him…Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Thought of the Day–1/1/18
Thought of the Day—Welcome to 2018–a New Year, a blank slate. As we go through this next year, many events that we experience will be as a result of someone else’s choices that affect you. Other occurrences will be from your own decisions, whether they be wise or foolish. Wouldn’t it be nice to allow God, in His infinite wisdom, to scribe out your life as He sees fits and just follow His plan? Here we are at day one; what will you write as you pick up the pen of your life? The myriad of list entries that seem so important or a simple “Thy will be done…”?
Thought of the Day–12/16/17
Thought of the Day—Jesus isn’t the reason for the season…we are…For if sin had not entered into this world and if we were not in such a desperate state of need, there would be no need for a Savior to save us from our sins…but here we are, with that very need. So we, the receivers of God’s most perfect gift, celebrate the gift of Jesus this season and we worship God the Father for His perfect love for us! John 3:16-17 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Thought of the Day–12/10/17
Thought of the Day—A candle in the window is meant to draw people home, towards the light that shines in the darkness. We are to be that same light, in this world of darkness. Never underestimate your ability to draw others into your warmth, for you are your Father’s child… Matthew 5:16 (NIV) In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Thought of the Day–12/6/17
Thought of the Day—What if Santa were real and he took the time every day to lower his head and pray to God for the needs of all the children from all around the world that was on his list, regardless of who was naughty or nice? I’m sure that if Santa were found out, there would surely be a worldwide scandal and he would be placed on trial to answer for his questionable deeds. But did you know you ARE Santa in someone’s life? Take the time to pray over those children that YOU can influence in a positive way…and oh, wait, there’s something else you can do. Read the REAL Christmas story to them and answer any questions they might have…it will make an eternal difference…
