whoever finds wisdom finds life

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16). An important word for the LORD's children. A word we must always keep in our hearts because it describes what a Christian should look like. God said that His people are to be a "peculiar" people (1 Peter 2:9). So different than everyone else of the world that they would stand out noticeably, like a light in the dark. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean that Christians have a glamorous life. As a Christian, to be a light means that you have to act and react differently than what is natural when faced with the circumstances of life. For example, it would not be considered "natural" or "normal" to be joyful aft...

Surrender An overused and greatly misunderstood word in today’s church. Do not get me wrong, surrendering to God is what we are purposed to do. The problem is that in today’s church, we speak a lot about surrendering to God, but bear no fruit of it. When we surrender ourselves over to Him, we should look more like Him. There are 9 specific fruits called out by Paul in the New Testament, but there is so much more to God than that. Yes, we should have His love, peace, joy, gentleness, kindness, self-control, humility, faithfulness, and patience, but Oh, how much more there is to God!

I come broken just as you, struggling just as you. I come imperfect and lacking just as you. It is in His revelation that I speak. This word is for me just as much as it is for you. So given the revelation, here’s the qua...

What tomorrow holds..... We plan, we organize, we worry, and agonize Over a thing we cannot hold, A thing we can never see. It has no taste, no sound, no scent, no being; And yet it changes every day. Some run after it, some run away. Dreams seek to rest on it, Its where our minds chose to stay. And yet it changes every day. What tomorrow holds only One truly knows. He is the Maker, omniscient, The only One who makes tomorrows. His word says to worry not, to make no plans; Because only He is in control, It all rests in His hands. He is the beginning and the end, Times upon times He sees. So when He says to not worry, It is His word I believe. I do not know what tomorrow holds, And cannot see what it brings; But I can hold onto my God, Who is good in all things. What tomorrow holds, Only He truly sees. I chose to trust in Him. Though tomorrow changes from day to day I know in whom I believe. This...
