Finish what you started.

"Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride." Ecclesiastes 7:8

When we start a project we all tend to grow weary and stop trying as hard on it or stop before it's finished, I am terrible at this myself. Procrasination gets the best of all of us. When I started these blogs I had planned to do them once a week and somehow I ended up doing them everyday. This is something I pray to continue daily, they do take time to write and find a verse I feel lead to write on daily but the outcome will be worth it. God called me to do this I felt in my heart and when you follow what God has called you to do you will be rewarded greatly. Today if God has lead you to do something please do it, you'll never regret following God's plan for your life. What if Jesus hadn't finished His plans to die for our sins when he came to earth? We would be lost and living in sin. Thank God He did, follow out your plans when God sets them before you, just as Jesus done. Now on to the last part of this verse, Patience is better than pride. When we get too much pride we tend to forget to be humble towards others, and us as christians we are meant to be humble and kind. We should always be patient in every situation no matter how hard it is. God never wants us to be full of pride. Here are today's verses to reflect on. "Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord." Psalms 27:14 "Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3  "Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise." Proverbs 13:10 "Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor." Proverbs 29:23

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
