…who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Cor 1:4 Continue reading
Help
Get Healed – Go Help
Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them. Matt 8:14-15 Continue reading

Inspire and encourage others!
Last time I took a look at the giants of Gath, including Goliath.
In the story a young man that was not a warrior took on a champion of the Philistines named Goliath. Goliath was almost 10 feet tall. Continue reading
A Do-Over!
On Wednesday I was walking four miles and getting my daily exercise, really pouring on some speed, when I over-flexed my left big toe.
It made it difficult to finish my walk. Continue reading
Discern
…a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb 4:12
Discernment is a difficult thing for many people. It’s a door that swings both ways. Continue reading
Pushing Others!
Last time I looked at Preceding Others and how you pave the way for someone else.
I had things happen to me but only until I gave my life to Jesus. It would have been easy to go the opposite direction. But I had teachers, grandparents, friends that pushed me to be better.
History is full of evil and villains that were mistreated as children and ended up being psychotic killers or ruthless dictators without conscience.
It’s really no excuse. Each person is responsible for their own actions, whether good or bad. You have the choice to overcome the bad done to you. You can overcome it. Too many have already.
Sometimes it takes someone to push you in a positive way. I admire people like Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen who do such a great job at encouraging others to move forward.
I believe the best encouragement comes from the Lord.
Even Jesus had that encouraging person to pave the way for Him.
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
He pointed all of mankind to Jesus.
He could have said, “There’s another rabbi or preacher!”
But John pointed to Him as the Messiah – the Savior.
So how can you encourage someone today?
What can you say or do that will pull someone up and get their feet back on the ground?
Do it!
Abba, I just want to be a blessing to others. In Jesus name, YES&AMEN

Never Leave or Forsake
What does it mean when He says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Heb 13:5
To me it’s the assurance that Father is always watching over me; always present and vigil.
Yesterday Linda text me about some spiritual problems that have arisen; Continue reading

A few days ago the Morning Thought was about running someone off from church; it was titled Avoid Them.
There were a few comments I’d like to bring to your attention.
This one is from Tracy; I attended a church once that made me feel so uncomfortable. Continue reading
