Ever hear the phrase “Pride goes before a fall”? I have. When you think too highly of yourself is right before you fall. Humility means taking the back seat even to wisdom. But as you thirst for knowledge you will find wisdom. Wear it around your neck and keep it in a safe place. Never stop searching and questioning God for wisdom. But it is also important to fear God. Asking for wisdom from God is a good thing. Just be respectful and fear Him, even as you ask. Allow God to speak. Give pause for His voice to become aparant to you even as you ask. Even when you search the Scriptures for wisdom and inspiration you find time and again examples of imperfect people who mess up and time and again do things the wrong way. It is only when they seek God by humbling yourself can you gain wisdom. I think of David as he was running for his life from King Saul. He constantly sought out...

You know where the enemy gets us? He gets us at our weakest point. He gets us and leaves us wishing for things of the past or future that we regret having or doing. He is so tricky sometimes. The good news? The good news is that unless we let him, he has no power over us. Even today, just now this blog post deleted half my text so I have to rewrite it. I have a good attitude about it instead of my words, I wish His words here encourage you today. Stand firm then, in the mighty power of God and don’t look back. You know He is always there for you to talk to Him or sing to Him, like I like to do. He always has a better plan. Believe that, and you will never be the same again. So where does the enemy get us? He gets us when we are weak, and he appears as a ghost of a being. You know when he gets us? When we are at our very worst, a moment of weakness, a sad goodbye. Thoughts from...

Sometimes life gives us lemons. Do we make lemonade? Do we hide the problems so much that the hurt goes deeper and deeper in our souls? Do we play it cool without dealing with the central issue? Sometimes it feels as if my hands are tied in regards to my communication lately. Restrictions are important for the well being of the individual and I know my hubby loves and supports everything I stand for. Still, I get frustrated at the situation and knowing I can do nothing to help alleviate the problem. Waiting and waiting for something to happen that may never happen leaves me almost in tears. So what then? Do we wait and wait and wait? YES! Do we question? YES! Do we wonder and worry? YES! Sometimes when there is no forseeable answer we must trust the One who gives us breath. Know He is working in and through the situation. So I know I can kick back and relax and TRUST Him to do His job....

Hello my Readers! Wanted to start out by sharing a prayer from my devotional time today. Here goes: Lord! You have been and always will be good. You know all my faults, and still You choose to love me. You are so beautiful and lovely, holy and righteous. And I stand in awe of You. Use me today. Over and over. Let my life be a vessel for Your goodness. Resist the devil and He will flee from you. I believe that because I know that You crush Satan every time. You have already won! You fight for me. You never give up. Never stop. You go before and behind me. You never forget me and great is Your faithfulness. I know I can stand on the Rock that has never been shaken. I love You, sweet Jesus. Yours, Becky Lately I am so reminded of God’s power, His love and infinite grace. His forgiveness never runs out and it is only those who choose to not hear His voice that are eventually damned...
