"The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves."
Genesis 3:6-7 NLT
Sometimes things are too good to be true. God tells you not to do something but it is so tempting and delicious looking that you do it anyway. Then, you fall!
The enemy entices us with things that catch our eye: wealth, fame, a sexy woman. We know that getting to that particular thing will cause us to sin, but we do it anyway. We listen to the enemies lies.
It cost us our marriage, our finances, our witness, maybe it cost us everything. So even though the fruit looks good, think about what it will cost you. As your Heavenly Father for guidance, and Be Blessed!

Actions ..
"Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions."
1 John 3:18 NLT
To tell someone you love them or you will be praying for them is a nice gesture. But to show them by your actions, changes everything!!!
Don't just tell someone you will be thinking about them when they are moving, grab your truck and a couple buddies and help them pack and move to their new home.
Don't just say Hi to the elderly neighbor, take them supper or mow their yard. Buy the homeless guy on the street a meal, better yet, go in the restaurant and sit down and eat with him. Talk to him and get to know him.
Actions speak louder than words, end the end you will Be Blessed!

Seeds…
"Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.""
Mark 4:20 NIV
The parable of the seeds. As I was reading, I ask God, what more can I get from this? I have heard this since I was a child. Then my phone alerted me, it was from a friend that I had made on a serve project. He was checking on me and asking how things were going. He has the heart of a servant.
Small seeds we plant, eventually blossom and grow. The short time I spent with the Godly friend has sprouted into a relationship of love and support for one another.
What seeds are you planting? Maybe your seed touches the life of someone who doesn't know God, maybe that seed sprouts and leads to a life that serves God for generations to come! Plant good seeds and Be Blessed!

The details…
"So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose."
Romans 8:28 TPT
God cares about the details! I truly feel that has a precise plan mapped out for our lives. He wants to bless you at every turn.
From the people you meet, the job you do, to the "coincidences" that you think occur. God loves you and wants all things to work for good for you.
So next time you think God doesn't want to be bothered by this, trust me God loves the details. So keep your eyes open and watch Him work and Be Blessed!

Tomorrow…
"But you don't have a clue what tomorrow may bring. For your fleeting life is but a warm breath of air that is visible in the cold only for a moment and then vanishes! Instead you should say, "Our tomorrows are in the Lord's hands and if he is willing we will live life to its fullest and do this or that.""
James (Jacob) 4:14-15 TPT
We don't know what tomorrow or even the next hour will bring? As an ER nurse, I can tell you I have seen many lives gone in an instant.
God wants us to live a life for him and live it to its fullest! Experience all God has to offer, serve others, and don't get near the end of life with regrets!
God has blessed us with a big, beautiful world. Experience it and Be Blessed!

Ask…
"You jealously want what others have so you begin to see yourself as better than others. You scheme with envy and harm others to selfishly obtain what you crave—that's why you quarrel and fight. And all the time you don't obtain what you want because you won't ask God for it!"
James (Jacob) 4:2 TPT
We envy so much that others have, the FB and IG world show us the highlights reel of everyone's life. We scroll and see what others have. Either wealth, fame, material possessions or a glamorous lifestyle.
But have you asked God for what you want? I believe that our Heavenly Father cares about what parking place you get at Walmart. I think He wants to bless us abundantly and give us all our desires. But by doing so, He expects us to thank Him, to praise Him, to be good stewards of what He gives us and to always give Him the glory.
Many will say this is "prosperity" preaching. But what good father doesn't try to give their child all they want and need? Ask God, thank God, serve God with what He gives you and you will Be Blessed!

Our rescuer…
"The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them."
Psalms 91:14-15 NLT
Sounds like a 911 call to the most qualified rescuer anyone could ask for!! God is just a prayer away! He should always be our first call, not our second thought when we are in trouble.
When trouble comes, where do you turn? To work, the doctor, your spouse? Maybe you will talk to God about it when you get a chance.
No, our first response should be to drop to our knees and call out to our Heavenly Father! Make that Heavenly 911 call, await His rescue and Be Blessed!

Jehovah Jireh…
"And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19 NLT
He created the heavens and the earth, he owns the cattle on a thousand hills, he provides for the smallest creatures; so why do we think God can't provide for us?
Sometimes we feel as if God isn't there, as if He isn't listening or doesn't see what's going on. But know that God will provide for all your needs.
He will send you a driver, when meals need delivered. He will heal the sick when the doctors have no answers. He will restore the broken marriage when all seems lost. He will provide extra work when the bills need paid.
My God is a god who fulfills His promises. He is "Jehovah Jireh: the Lord our Provider!"
Take hold of that and Be Blessed!

Teach the children…
"Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them (God's ways and instructions) to your children and to their children after them."
Deuteronomy 4:9 NIV
I remember growing up and my Dad reading from a big illustrated Bible nightly to us. We would gather before bedtime and he would share God's word with us.
He laid a foundation for me and my brother. He taught us God's ways.
Are we, as a generation, doing the same? Are we teaching our children and grandchildren God's ways? We must be diligent in the passing of God's word to future generations.
Raise up your children and grandchildren to love God. Many years down the road, you will see the results and you will Be Blessed!

My trust…
"I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.""
Psalms 91:2 NIV
Who do you say God is? Is He who you turn to in times of trouble? Do you put your complete trust in Him?
We see God in many different ways. Each of us have our own level of trust and confidence in Him. But should it really be that way?
As a Christian, there should be No Doubt that our complete trust should be in the Lord. He should be our solid rock that we rely on. Follow David's example and Be Blessed!

In Gods house…
"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
Psalms 91:1 NLT
Do you remember when you were young and living with your Mom and Dad? I do, I remember going to bed and not having to worry about anything. I felt safe and secure in my father's house.
When we abide with our Heavenly Father we should feel the same way. We can rest, knowing that God will take care of all our needs. We are safe and secure in His house.
Cast your cares on the Lord, lie down and rest. God has you covered in His wings, so you can Be Blessed!

The Lord will provide…
"So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.""
Genesis 22:14 NIV
Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, God provided a ram. God is always there, right on time.
We may think what we are going through is too much to handle. We may think that it is never going to pass. But everything occurs in God's time and He will provide all your needs.
What are you going through today? How has God provided for you in the past, at just the right time? Trust His plan, meet Him on the mountain and let Him come through for you, then you will Be Blessed!

Water…
"You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water."
Psalms 63:1 NIV
If you have ever been in a survival situation you know they rule of 3 applies. You can survive 3 hours without shelter in severe weather, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Your biggest obstacle will been finding clean water, it is a priority to your survival.
In this Psalms, David was seeking out God like he was looking for water in the desert. He needed God to survive. Just like we need God.
We need God in our life, every day, every hour, every minute. Seek Him out like the water your body needs. When you find Him, you will Be Blessed!

All I need…
"The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need."
Psalms 23:1 NLT
Such a simple statement by a teenage David who would soon become king. God is my leader and I have everything I need.
Sometimes we think that we need this or that, a bigger house, nicer car, the latest gadget, a better job but really all we need is God. Everything else is insignificant. He will take care of the rest.
Let God be your shepherd and trust in Him for all your needs, then you will Be Blessed!

The Holy Spirit…
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.""
Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT
Do you every get that feeling in your gut that "I should tell them about Jesus." That's usually the Holy Spirit and Yes you should tell them.
God sends us opportunities to share the gospel, almost daily. But we tend to shy away because we are afraid of the response. We don't feel we are good enough or that we have the ability. But remember we are just a vessel, the Holy Spirit is here to help.
So next time you get that feeling, take a leap of faith. Let the Holy Spirit use you and share God's good news and Be Blessed!

God is with us…
""Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.'""
Matthew 1:23 NLT
The name of God, Immanuel!!
From the very miraculous conception of the Son of God, He has been with us. Even His name tells us that! The Bible gives us details that we often overlook. God intended for His Son to always be with us. So He named Him "Immanuel, God is with us!"
So no matter where you are in your walk. No matter the struggle your going through remember that He is alway with you. At work, at school, on vacation and even in that dark place that no one else knows about, He is with you!
Reach out to Jesus and Be Blessed!

All things new…
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
This reminds us that with Christ, we don't have to hold on to who we were before. We don't have to be defined by our past failures and sins. The enemy can tells us all the lies he wants but they are NOT true.
Christ made you new! You are worthy! You are forgiven!
And here is the even better news, if we fail again, God's grace and mercy is enough! Don't dwell on it, ask your father for help and forgiveness. He will make you new again and again and again and again!!
Aren't you glad your Father loves you enough to make all things new so that you can Be Blessed?!

His spirit…
"But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you."
Romans 8:9 NLT
The enemy does not control you, he might want you to believe that but you are controlled by God Spirit!! Sin is all around us but we don't have to fall prey to it.
Fill yourself with God's Spirit! With what you read, what you watch, what music you listen to, who you hang out with. The more we allow God to fill us the easier it is to overcome the enemy.
God living within you makes life better! Let His Spirit control you and Be Blessed!
Romans 8:9 NLT

Always there…
"Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding."
Isaiah 40:28
Isn't that encouraging, God never grows weak or tires! Some days I think, "Is God tired of listening to me? Weak from helping me all the time? Does He really understand why I am going through?"
Isaiah encourages us, God is always there for you. Lifting you up, carrying you. He always understands what your going through and will always be there to help! He doesn't take a break or need a vacation, 24/7/365 God is waiting, just for you!
Whatever your going through today, whatever you need, God is there. Trust in that and Be Blessed, help is but a prayer away!

Child of God…
"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God."
John 1:12 NLT
Adoption is choosing to raise another child as your own and giving them all the rights as your biological children.
God chose us!! Isn't that exciting! We have all the same rights as His son Jesus! We are His children.
As His children, make sure we are honoring the Father here on earth. Show people who you truly are, a child of the King.
Be a true reflection of God. We want others to look at you and say: I know who his Father is! Then you will Be Blessed!

The devil is a liar…
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
John 8:44 NIV
These are Jesus' own words: the devil is a liar! Remember that when you hear that voice in your head that tells you that your not good enough. That God can't use you, that your sin was too bad to be forgiven. That voice that tells you, you will never succeed, you will never be able to witness to people. That voice that says your a failure and God could never love you.
The enemy has told me all of those things, but he is a liar! You are a child of the King, you are good enough, Gods has a plan for you! Your sins are forgiven, you will succeed and you can share the gospel. You are not a failure because God is not done with you yet! And your Heavenly Father loves you so passionately that if you were the only person on earth, He still would have sent His son to die for just you!
Believe the truth!! Believe God's word and Be Blessed!!

Thought life…
"We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ."
2 Corinthians 10:5 NLT
Have you ever thought about your thought life? Odd question, but our thought lead us in many ways. They can lead us down a sin path or they can lead us down the path God has planned for us.
But can we control our thoughts? Absolutely! Thoughts stem from the input that your brain receives. Like the old computer saying goes: "garbage in = garbage out".
What are you putting into your brain? What do you read, what do you watch, who do you hang out with? Teach your thoughts to obey Christ and you will Be Blessed!!

Correction…
"If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding."
Proverbs 15:31-32 NLT
Hard words to hear. No one likes to be criticized or be told they are wrong. But sometimes we all need correction. You can only grow if you learn from your mistakes.
As a Christian, sometimes we fail, and who better to call us out than another Christian brother or sister. We may be so deep that we can no longer see what we are doing is wrong.
So if you are lovingly corrected by another believer, don't take offense, know that they care enough to tell you. They want to see you succeed and grow. Take the instruction to heart, learn from it and Be Blessed!

Persecuted….
"What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man."
Luke 6:22 NLT
That's a tough pill to swallow. Being hated, excluded, mocked and cursed us not on anyone's 'to do' list. But sometimes being a Christian can lead to these things. The world doesn't understand us because they don't know the love of God.
But like a child who doesn't know better, we can't hold that against them. We must teach them and show them His love. We must continue to lead by example, always doing the right thing and loving on the daily.
Jesus spoke these words for a reason. He knew life would get tough for those that follow Him. But He also knows the blessings ahead of you will stay the course, you will Be Blessed!!
