Dear Father, I am grateful for your many blessings. Thank you for opening my eyes to Your truths and for your many promises to me. I do want to become wiser, so help me to study and understand the Bible. Open my spiritual ears to hear the things I need to understand at this time. Thank you for the knowledge You have already given me, but I desire to know more, so that I might know You more. I want my relationship with You to be closer than ever before.…

“No more than a branch can bear fruit of itself apart from the vine, can you bear fruit apart from Me.” Jn.15:4

Reflection:

   Without Christ and His grace all our efforts and actions are in vain. With Christ and His grace everything, even the most insignificant act of our daily lives, becomes fruitful for all eternity.

   My crop will be plentiful only if I abandon myself to His will and live the life of grace.

Prayer:

   “My Savior, instill Your Divine…

“But the Lord keeps faithful; He it is Who will strengthen you and guard you against the evil one.” 2Thes.3:3

Reflection:

   God’s faithfulness should be my comfort and my encouragement when I feel weary and disheartened in performing my duties.

   My Father never abandons me. He helps me according to the measure of my faith.

Prayer:

   “Faithful God, strengthen my faith. Make me willing and obedient in fulfilling Your will, even…

Dear Father, Thank you for Your many blessings. When I really stop to count them all, there is no end to every blessing that you have given me. Every breath I take is a blessing. It is a blessing to be able to see, hear, walk and talk. You have granted me blessings in the many friends and family that I have. Thank you also, for all the physical and material blessings I have. I do appreciate them, but they are overshadowed by Your blessings of peace, love and…

Verse 33 Proverbs makes many comparisons between good and evil, stating what will befall both the wicked and the righteous. Today, we think of cursing as foul language, or blasphemous words against God. Our definition usually is synonymous with swearing. Swearing is a form of cursing, but only a small portion of what it means in the Bible.



Biblically speaking, cursing is not only speaking evil of someone, but also invoking harm upon them. According to the Bible, evil comes upon a…

Yesterday, I had my camcorder. I had my plush stomach out. Ms. Taylor [who we used to call Einstein but she is now officially Ms. Taylor] decided she was going to get "rough" with the stomach. I took some pictures but this was my favorite one. I'm posting this just in case you need a good laugh. Enjoy.…

“Do not grow slack but be fervent in spirit.” Rom.12:11

Reflection:

   O how often I defraud God in the small events of daily life. Sometimes I do so by my lack of fervor, and at other times by aspiring to great things and grand actions for my own pride.

   Yet God does not look upon “how much” but rather on the “how;” therefore a small thing becomes great if it is done with much love.

Prayer:

   “Heavenly Father, grant that I may be…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your wonderful gifts. I am especially thankful for the gift of discernment. Thank you, for the many times You have saved me from bad situations that I would have engaged in, if it were not for You warning me. I do thank you for spiritual eyesight. Lord, I pray today that I will always walk in Your way and will seek to avoid strife and be a peace maker. You said, "Blessed are the peace makers". I need Your blessings…

Verse 30 We might phrase this admonition as Dont start a fight without a reason. Some people just love to argue.



Verse 31 Sometimes it seems that oppressors are better off than those seeking to do what is right. However, Psalm 37:1-9 tells us not to envy such people or choose to follow their ways:

Fret not thyself because…

“God who is mighty has done great things for me, holy is His name.” Lk.1:49

Reflection:

   Every passing day tells me that I am a child of grace: God’s benefits are innumerable in my daily life.

   This is why I wish to give Him thanks through my dedication and fidelity until I die.

Prayer:

   “Lord, do not let me refuse your mercy. Forgive my abuses of Your grace. In the future be merciful and lenient toward me. In…

I was laying down today. It was too cold to get up and I was still tired. I was talking to our Abba. I forget the discussion but I remember this coming to my mind.

We all know the rapture is very near. But, persecution seems very close as well.

Here's some encourgement. If we do so happen to be facing some kind of persecution and the rapture happens, whether it's prison or something harsher, who knows, there's good news. :)

Let's say we're being…

How beautiful is it to know about His Grace and sanctification?

Grace. We're saved. We're always going to belong to Him now. He protects us and teaches us. He loves us but also tells us what we're doing wrong.

Sanctification. We mess up. You and I sin many times a day. It's going to be like that until we go home to be with Jesus. We can try [and only succed with the help of the Holy Spirit] to do better [repent] and not sin as much. No matter what though we will…

Dear Father, Thank for the book of Proverbs. There is so much good advice in this book Help me to take it to heart and apply it to my life. I see there is much is this book about relationships. Lord, I know if I am to be in a right relationship with You, I must be in a right relationship with my family, friends and neighbors. Help me to be a good neighbor. Help me also be sensitive to the needs of others. Help me guard my mouth and forgive me, as I have at…

Good, Solid Instruction.  Colossians 2.6-23

“Rise up in splendor! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” Is.60:1

Reflecton:

   Christ reveals His glory. Therefore I too must try to be a manifestation of God. I must be a living testimony to His glory, always trying to deepen my spiritual life – according to Christ’s spirit and will – in poverty, humility, and love for God and others.

   Can I say that I am an “epiphany,” that is, God’s manifestation? What do I lack in this…
