Eclesiastes 7: 13-16

Hope you have had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

There is alot of wisdom in this particular passage. God warns us not to be mighty in our own eyes because this is vanity. in verse 13, it says , " Who can make that straight?" Have you given that much thought in considering something new? A new goal or new plan? Did you ever ask God what He thought? After all, He knows the outcome. I take time to pray every morning. Well, I'll just say, I can tell a difference in the outcome when I do pray about the day.

I try to go to sleep in a good mood and I try to wake up in a good mood. That makes a difference in your health. 14. says , " in the day of prosperity be joyful." God wants us to rejoice over what we have. He knows we have emotions and He wants us to be happy. He gives us what we need, but also wants us to ask for what we want.

16. On the flip side, God says in 16, that we should be proud of our works but not too boastful because we will only destroy our own selves. If you go around thinking you are better, than that will destroy the good name that you have made for yourself. So consider that much when you go through your day.

God wants us to achieve our goals, but try to think of others as we reach them. Nobody likes a know it all." but nobody likes a negative Nancy either. So be respectful and consider the two. This will help you in your daily life.

Pray with us-- Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for being a Friend when no one else seem to care. You have always been there and always will be there. You have given me the strength I have needed to fight through my health problems and will continue to do so, If I only ask. Thank you for friends and family and Thank You for helping me be able to appreciate the simple things in life. In Jesus Name, Amen.

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Terrific Tuesday

The Priority Principal Priority according to dictionary.com  means  the right to take precedence in obtaining certain supplies, services, facilities, etc., especially during a shortage. In life, we all must set priorities.  Not only must we set priorities, we must decide which priorities" will help us succeed.  Making lists help me tackle tasks but they also help me visualize my priorities. “A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.” ― Walt Whitman Establish a base point and determine what your strengths and weaknesses are.  Don't compare to others,  God gave us each a special" light to shine....we need to shine it. Once picking the top priorites,  keep your focus on those priorites and the others will fall in place.
