GM! It’s day 210 of 2024! Thank you God for another day! Thank you for keeping us and blessing us. Lord I thank you that we are rich in God. God’s word says, “10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” Lord help us to stay connected to you in all that we say and do. Let us not put anything or anyone above you for we know that with you all things are possible and you supply all of our needs.

I thank God today because he is My WayMaker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, and the Light In Darkness. He is everything I need when I need it most. He is an on time God. I am rich in God and I thank Him for all he has done for me, what he is doing and for what he is going to do. I am blessed by the best and so are you. Let us constantly evaluate our lives to ensure that we don’t place anything or anyone above God. We are wealthy in Christ. We can be content knowing that we have all we need through the pursuit of our relationship with Him. Remember who God is today and know that he always makes a way. Call on him when you need him because he is there. You are Rich in God. DECLARE that over your life today. The Best Is Yet To Come!

Good today my YouTube Fans! Are you physically resting.? Remember Fans God wants us to physically rest.

But we also need – and some people desperately need – physical rest. So how do we get a physical rest?

Well, sleep eight hours every night, eat well and exercise, and then, every so often, take a break from work – a holiday – in case you haven’t taken one for a while.

There! Easy!

But… if it’s that easy, why are we still so tired? And why are there entire industries trying to tell us how to do these things?

In our current culture – “hustle” culture, some call it – busyness is a virtue.

But I’ve discovered, as a reformed cigarette smoker and workaholic, that busyness is addictive. And when we’re addicted to something, changing our behavior is very, very difficult.

We need a reason to change – a deep reason that takes hold of our hearts and results in a powerful change in our lives.

And that’s what this Psalm 127 is all about. So why not take a moment to read it now.

What does that psalm say to you? It says to me that God loves me! He’s interested in my life, He’s working in my life, and I don’t have to do it all by myself.

Actually, God doesn’t want us to be anxious and to be working non-stop. He wants us to rest so we can be loving and patient and kind; not exhausted and on-edge, ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

That realization – God loves me and is working with me in my life – was the deep change I needed.

Now, I don’t work evenings, except on very rare occasions. I turn my emails and mobile phone off. I try to take time off each year to recharge.

Making those simple changes has been a huge deal for me. I’ve discovered I can work hard (which I love) and have physical rest at the same time.

So, what simple guidelines can you put in place to help you rest your body as well as your mind and your spirit?

Because starting that process will lead to you enjoying your life a whole bunch more. Not only that, but it’ll also bring joy to God’s heart!

Why? Because He loves you and He wants you to get a good night’s sleep… for God gives sleep to those whom He loves.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing

GM! It’s day 159 of 2024! It’s T.G.I.F.(Thank God I’m Forgiven, Faith filled, Faithful, Friendly, Fervent, Favored, Fabulous, Fervent, etc.) and Thank God it’s Friday! It’s a great day to serve God and serve others. When you serve others you serve God too. Don’t make everything about you. Helping others is so important. One day you may need the same assistance if not more. Be kind to others and do what you can to make someone’s life a little better. We are here for a purpose. We are here to leave a legacy. A legacy is leaving it better than you found it. What can you do to make something or someone’s life better today?

Sometimes the only Jesus people will see is you. They may not go to church or read the word of God. You may be that for them. Be a good example for Christ. Be kind and be loving. It’s important to serve. Serve with a pure heart and not an ulterior motive. God is always watching you and others too. Let them see the God in you. We can all make this world a better place by serving. The Best Is Yet To Come!

Hi Fans, hope all is well. I can’t wait to return back. I have a lot of updates to share in my mobile home mansion renovation. I finally decided to purchase this oversize arch mirror from Wayfair and added this 5ft Gypsophila Leaf Tree from Hobby Lobby in the living room.

Hi Fans, I’m hoping all is well with you.

What It Takes to Thrive

In both gardening and spiritual terms, planting and harvesting are exciting seasons. Planting is the start of an adventure, and harvesting is the product of hard work. It’s easy to celebrate new beginnings and hard-earned completions—but one thing that’s not as much fun? 

The pruning process.

Who wants to acknowledge what’s dead and unproductive in their lives? Who wants to trim back what’s already blooming—leaving you smaller, awkward, and feeling extra weak?

But pruning is exactly what we need to keep producing fruit.

“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
John 15:2 NIV

Jesus mentions two separate actions in this process—cutting off what’s dead and pruning fruit.

Cutting out what’s dead makes sense. It’s extra weight, it’s unproductive, it’s blocking sunlight, and it’s stealing good energy from branches that could thrive. But without proper context, pruning fruit feels backwards.

However, the purpose of pruning isn’t to disable something, but to revitalize it. 

If a branch is weak or diseased, it could not only damage itself, but the surrounding trees as well. Without pruning, both the tree and the life surrounding it can never reach full potential.

Pruning creates room for more growth.
Pruning stimulates production.
Pruning keeps the plant or person strong.

God is a good Gardener. He wouldn’t be a good Gardener if He left you to yourself—overgrown, ineffective, and full of dysfunction. But He cares for those He loves. He cuts off what’s dead for your benefit. He lovingly trims back ineffective things in your life to make way for more fruit. 

You can trust God with your life because He cares about who you are and who you can become.

So what “dead branches” are you dragging around? Is it possible that God is pruning you for future growth? Take a few moments and talk to God about any areas in your life that you recognize need to change.

Happy Friday Fan!! I will be returning back soon as a content creator when give me that discernment.

Walking Through Life with God

Every season of life has both ups and downs, positive and negative situations. On top of that, there are spiritual powers in this world that are trying to get us to lose hope.

In the midst of difficult seasons, or even persecution, it can be easy to forget that God is still present with us. He does not abandon us in the midst of suffering. Rather, He strengthens us and walks with us through the pain.

The church in Thessalonica experienced a very similar situation. As they were praying for the gospel to spread across their region, they encountered suffering and opposition. Paul writes to the members of these churches to not only encourage them, but to remind them of God’s character.

He tells them first that the Lord is faithful. This means that God doesn’t change—He is consistent in His character. If He was good and merciful yesterday, He will be good and merciful again today.

It also means that He fulfills His promises. God is faithful to do what He says He is going to do. He is not like a human who changes his mind when things get difficult.

Second, Paul tells these believers that God will strengthen them and protect them in the midst of what they’re experiencing. Paul does not tell them they will never experience evil, but rather—that God will be with them in the midst of it.

Because God never changes, He is able to strengthen and protect us through every experience in life. So take some time to thank God for His strength and faithfulness. Ask Him to help you, and to give you confidence in His power.

Good morning grace and peace!

What Living Well Looks Like

If you’re a good athlete, it shows every time you compete. If you’re a fantastic cook, the truth comes out in the kitchen. If you have a brilliant mind, you can’t help but solve problems. If you have a stunning voice, such talent can’t stay hidden.
 
We might present ourselves a certain way, but who we are will eventually come out. This is why James encourages Christians to prove who they are through the way they live. To prove something simply means to show that it’s true. 

Do you say that you trust God? Prove it by starting your day with a genuine confidence in Him. 

Do you say that you love your neighbor? Show it by going out of your way to notice, serve, and honor the people around you. 

Do you call yourself a follower of Jesus? Prove it by living your life in a way that reflects His heart. This doesn’t mean you’ll be perfect, but it does mean that even when you mess up, you will still try to make things right. And not because you must work for God’s favor or earn His love, but because your actions reveal what is happening inside of you. As Jesus said in Luke 6:45, “… What you say flows from what is in your heart.”

So, how can we live an honorable life? By doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. Not worldly wisdom, but godly wisdom. When we stick close to God, who invented wisdom, He transforms us from the inside out.

So if you claim to be wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by the way you live. And when questions arise—go to the One who has answers. Even on the most overwhelming of days, trust that God is by your side.

Today, ask yourself: “Do my thoughts match what people see on the outside?” Then, ask God: “Show me how to do what You’ve called me to do, and be who You’ve called me to be.”

Good morning fans grace and peace!
The Key to Real Wisdom

Would you ever build a house without blueprints? Or assemble an airplane without instructions? Or conduct open-heart surgery without training?



Hopefully your answer is “no.”

If we want to know how something works, we should look to the expert for insight. In a similar way, if we want to know how the world works, we should look to God.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”
Proverbs 9:10 ESV

God made the world and everything in it. He knows how life works best.

But too often, we look to ourselves or even to others to tell us who we are, what to think, and to explain to us how life works. The good news is:

Wisdom doesn’t begin with us—the created.
Wisdom begins with God—the Creator.

Are you interested in real wisdom? Genuine insight? True understanding? Look to God, study His ways, and consider His character. Examine Him closely and find what you’re searching for.

Real wisdom starts with a God-centered foundation. Everything else is built on that rock.

But as we do that, we must first honestly ask ourselves some hard questions: Do I want to learn from God, or would I rather do my own thing? Do I want godly wisdom, or would I rather be my own god?

Satan fell from heaven because he wanted more power than God. Adam and Eve struggled in the garden because they weren’t sure if they could trust God. And ever since, every human has been faced with a choice: to seek God, or seek life without Him. No one can make the decision for you, but if you want to be truly wise, you must choose God.

So right now, be real with yourself: Are you willing to surrender your way of thinking and genuinely look to God, or would you rather just do your own thing? If you feel a wall of pride going up within you, ask God to help you knock it down. Brick by brick, He can reestablish your foundation.

GM! It’s day 76 of 2024! Happy Saturday!!! Don’t you quit and don’t give up because we serve a faithful God. He is able to do just what he said he would do. He may not come when you want him but he will be there right in time. We have to remember his timing is not like ours and his ways our not like ours. His way is the best way and his time is the best time. Keep calling on the name of Jesus, the one who is faithful. He will stick closer than a brother. He is a mother to the motherless and a father to the fatherless. Can’t NOBODY do me or you like Jesus and can’t NOBODY do me or you like the Lord.

God is faithful and he fulfills his promises. He is not a man that he should lie. You may have been let down by others in your life or even felt like God let you down. God will never let you down. He is always looking out for your best good. Keep looking to him and know that he has you covered. It is because of him and his love for us that we are still here today. He is compassionate. He loves us with an everlasting love and no matter how many times we mess up he forgives us and he continues to bless us. Man might think you are not worthy but God says you are worthy. Trust in God , the faithful God who will supply all of your needs. He will give you peace that surpasses all understanding. He will make your crooked paths straight. He is a faithful God and he is always there for you. Keep trusting, believing, and confessing that he is a Faithful God. The Best Is Yet To Come!
