What we feed our eyes,ears and soul is important..............

God wants you and me to live blessed lives. He loves us so much, and He has given us the keys to access His blessing.  In Psalm chapter one, He tells us that it's important who we hang around and who we allow to speak into our lives. It's important who influences the decisions we make. It says, "Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers, but his delight is in the law of the Lord." In essence, God is saying, "Make My Word the standard for everything in your life because that's how you will live a blessed life!"
Now, you might be thinking, "I have decent friends. I don't take ungodly counsel." Think about this: What are you watching on TV? What are you listening to on the radio? What are you reading in the tabloids? Culture makes a spectacle of craziness, and people line up all day long to watch! You may not think you'll ever act like those people, but whatever you take into your heart through your eyes and ears affects you. It desensitizes you. It can water down what you believe. That's why the Scripture says to guard your heart because your heart and mind are connected. Your eyes and ears are the gateways to both. What you take in influences you whether you want it to or not.
Today, take inventory of what you are taking into your heart. Just because everyone else is doing something or watching something or acting a certain way doesn't mean you should. Don't look to the world for your answers. Be determined to let the Word of God be your standard so you can honor Him and live the blessed life He has prepared for you!

stay blessed........

Quit blaming yourself

When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, for many years they were beaten down. Not only physically, but emotionally. They were constantly told they were no good, they couldn't do anything right, they would never measure up. Over time, they let those words steal their sense of value. They felt inferior, insecure, like they had no self-worth. When a person is being mistreated or abused, especially for a long time; instead of recognizing the other person is doing them wrong, it's easy for them to accept the blame and start thinking they deserve what's happening. Before long, they're not only ashamed of what's happening, but they start to become ashamed of who they are. That's the way the Israelites felt. That's how the enemy twists things. But after 430 years, God brought them out of the slavery, out of the abuse. Just when they were about to enter the Promised Land, God said to them, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt off of you." Re

Gods promises are more reliable to depend on, man can fail you but his word never fails.

In Scripture, when the angel visited Mary and told her that she would give birth to the Son of God, Mary had a pretty big question. She said, "How can this be seeing that I know not a man?" Mary wasn't married and had never been with a man. She was asking about the natural realm, but we can also look at this principle in a spiritual sense, too. God is saying today, "My promises are not dependent on man." You don't have to know certain people in order to fulfill your destiny. You don't have to have certain connections in the natural because the spirit of God will overshadow you to bring forth His promises. Sometimes we think, "If I could just get my boss to like me, then he'd give me that promotion. If I could just get to that certain school, then I'd be qualified. If I just had some important, influential friends, maybe I could get a good break." No, God's promises are not dependent on who you know or who you don't know. Prom
