October 29, 2025Enjoy Today And Stay Safe.
September 1, 2025
Labor Day is a holiday in the USA to honor men and women in the workplace. It is a day set aside to celebrate with parades, picnics and family gatherings.
The Bible tells us a lot about labor:
Exodus 20:9-11 – Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Ephesians 4:28 – Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 – Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
These are just a few verses, there are many more. A good study. If you are struggling with burdens today these following verses will bring you comfort and rest:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11: 28-30

Trying To Lose Weight?
August 28, 2025
Many of us are trying to loose weight. We diet, exercise, and try to stay away from food that will keep us from our goal.
The Bible says we have weight that we need to get rid of and it is called sin. We need to decide to loose the “weight” of sin in our lives. Jesus said He is the bread of life. We must first trust Him to take away our sin.
Then a good exercise is to read the Bible and pray everyday. Then put away anything that will keep sin in our lives. It may be wrong friends, or a bad habit, or going to places where we are tempted to pick up our sin again. Let us loose the weight we need to both physical and spiritual.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life. Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
God’s Beautiful Creation!
August 22, 2025
If God gives you the privilege of traveling. Wherever you go you will see the beauty God has created.
Not only the natural beauty, but the wisdom that God gave to man to develop ways to travel. Planes, trains, boats, cars, buses and various ways we can get from one place to another.
Then, there are the wonderful man made structures. Monuments, buildings, churches and all kinds of artifacts.
If you can travel in person or see the wonders on TV, books or magazines, as a believer, it is easy to see God’s wisdom and praise Him for His wonderful creation.
Are Your Word Acceptable?
August 14, 2025
Are your words acceptable not only in God’s sight but in the lives of your loved ones and friends?
Sometimes we can act holy and righteous in front of others but at home or in the workplace it’s a different story.
We have to guard our tongues and speak kindly when we are in public or more importantly when we are with our loved ones.
God hears every word that comes out of our mouth. It is a matter of the heart.
Today, make this verse your prayer and practice. “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” Psalm 19:14
Where Is Your Affection?
August 3, 2025
This is a great verse for today. When we go to church to worship, or are having our daily devotions, we are not concentrating on the message or what God is trying to tell us.
Instead, we are thinking about our problems, what needs to be done, or maybe about our plans for vacation, family fun or other activities that have nothing to do with Heavenly thoughts.
All of us have done this many times but we need to ask God to forgive us and help us to keep our thoughts centered on what God is telling us.
Set you affection (love) on things above, not on worldly things.
Therapy!
July 16, 2025
Have you ever had therapy for a broken bone or strained muscle? That can be painful but necessary for complete healing.
We sometimes need spiritual therapy. We have not been seeking God for the difficult time in our lives. We find ourselves blaming God for our trouble or difficulties.
What is the remedy for a broken spirit? God’s Word. Prayer. Repentance. Not just a little bit but every day consistently. Sometimes it hurts, but we need to keep on doing it.
God is faithful. Just as He heals a broken body, He also can heal a broken heart.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psalm 34:18
A Cure For Discouragement!
July 14, 2025
Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.
