Each day is a GIFT and VALUABLE and should not be wasted.
We must distinguish between the important and urgent; the necessary and the frivolous. We must invest our energy and time into bettering the lives of our fellow humans and making our own lives meaningful and worthwhile. We must live with intentionality and purpose! (Job 14:1-12)

Hamstring Their Horses and Burn Their Chariots
God gave Joshua and the children of Israel numerous victories. Joshua was a brilliant military commander and fighter, but God was the source of his victory, “because the LORD, the God of Israel fought for Israel.” Joshua had neither chariots nor horses to fight with. Joshua was about to enter another military campaign and God […]
Watch Who You Allow Into Your Inner Circle
This isn’t personal but a life lesson from Nehemiah that we all can learn from. (Nehemiah 6:10-15) As you pursue your God-given goals, it is critical to exercise great caution and judgment concerning those you allow into your circle of influence. Don’t be deceived by people who might come to you claiming that God has […]
Praising God on Empty
“Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty, I will still be joyful and glad, because the LORD God is my savior.” (Hab 3:17-18) […]
“In Jesus’ Name.” What Does It Actually Mean?
A father took his young son and fourteen of his son’s friends to the carnival for his son’s birthday party. He bought a roll of tickets and stood in front of every ride and handed his son and the fourteen friends their tickets. A little boy who he had never seen before came with his […]
I AM WHO I AM
One of the most profound exchanges in all of Scripture. Moses wanted an assurance of who God was. God gave a simple answer: “I AM WHO I AM. Tell them I AM has sent me to you. That is my name forever.” (Exodus 3:14-15) The Great I AM remains the same. He is faithful and […]
Is Not All Human Life A Struggle?
Some of our deepest reflections happen when we find ourselves in the searches of life. Those are times when we learn invaluable lessons and make sober reflections over the meaning and value of life. (Job 7:1-21) Struggles are common to humanity. The greatest of God’s servants and even Jesus Himself went through untold trials. We […]
Sometimes, Your Presence Is All A Friend Needs
Sometimes, our presence is all that is needed. We all will go through difficult challenges in this life. In those trying situations, we need others to stand with us and comfort us. Sometimes, all we need from those friends and well-wishers is just their presence. Sometimes our silent presence is more effective than a lot […]
God Doesn’t Need Anymore Messages
“I don’t need any more messages; I need Sam to become the message. Understand what you are carrying. You are carrying LIFE inside you.” (I received this word yesterday morning from my dear friend, Marvin Harrell.) When you LIVE a story, you obtain profound ownership of the journey. Every challenge you overcome leaves its own […]
Healing The Brokenhearted
“…He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.” (Isa 61:1) The word for broken used here, actually means “shattered into separate pieces”. The body cannot fully heal while it is still reflecting the inner pain of unhealed trauma. When a person is […]
