Thought For Today

There are six things the Lord hates- no seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.

Lord, Give Me Faith {By Phyllis C Michael}

Praying Black Woman Stock Photo - 5626367

Help me to walk with patience, Lord
Help me watch and pray;
I know that You have heard me cry,
The sun will shine some day.

Help me to seek Your will, dear Lord.
O, keep me brave and true;
I know not what is best for me.
Send faith to see me through.

Help me to walk each step with hope
Though I can’t see the light;
Lord, take my hand and lead the way;
Oh, guide me day and night!

Hour by hour, Lord, give me faith,
Faith that never ask why;
Whatever it is Lord, help me say,
“Safe in your care am I.”

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all H is benefits; He pardons all your iniquities, He heals all your ills.  He redeems your life from destruction, He crowns you with kindness and compassion.   {Psalms 103 V 2-4}

Do not befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people; or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul.  {Proverbs 22 V 24&25}

Don’t Quit!

Don’t quit is an inspirational poem that you will refer to whenever you’re a bit less motivated. It’s a great way to get back on track again whenever you’re feeling down, are in a rut or have a block of some kind on your road.
And remember: “Don’t quit!”

hen things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit —
Rest if you must, but don’t quit.

ife is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow —
You may succeed with another blow.

ften the goal is nearer than
It seems to a fair and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

uccess is failure turned inside out —
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, —
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

Words of Wisdom

My Child I Made You Different

 

Oh Lord I am so thankful
Each and every day
For loving me the way I am
Enough to gentle say

“My child I made you different
Than anyone else on earth,
So don’t compare your talents
With others to find worth.

“And when you fail or make mistakes,
I’m here to hold your hand,
To dust you off and dry your tears
And give you strength to stand.

“I have a plan and purpose
Designed for you alone.
My word will lead and guide you
Until I call you home.

“So do not be discouraged,
Have faith and trust in Me.
Abiding in My counsel,
I’ll meet you every need.”

Thought For Today

I have observed something else under the sun the fastest runner doesn’t always win the race and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle.  The wise sometimes go hungry and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives.  It is decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.  (proverbs chap. 9 V 11)

If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.  If they are thirsty give them water to drink.  you will be heaping coals of shame o their heads and the Lord will reward you.   (proverbs chap 25 V 21&22
