1 Tim 4:16 (NKJV) "16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you."

     When you continue in the Word of reading, studying, and living it, it will save you and those who hear it from you. It is important that you stay in it, not only by knowing it but by living it out in front of people.  I with a sad heart have to discontinue writing daily on this board due to other time consuming obligation.  I started it as a project and enjoyed putting God's word out there in another forum that I have not yet done.  I see that it has reached many people and I hope that through reading God's word daily that it has blessed you.  Please continue in the Word in some form or fashion and enjoy the Many Blessings that await you.  God loves you all My prayers are with all of you.

Luke 22:42 (NKJV) "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."

     This is a great verse to live by.  So many times we find ourselves in positions that require us to have this attitude.  We say we love and trust the Lord, but we still demand our own way, and often times reject truth due to us wanting our will to be done.  There are times we can not alter the course of life, but we still refuse to accept that God's will to be done.  Trusting and Loving God is to accept His will even if we don't like it, remember Jesus said "if its your will, take this cup from me; nevertheless..." There are great and Many Blessings in trusting God and accepting things although we don't like or want it. 

Eccl 12:1 (NKJV) "1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come..."

      Now is the time to start and build on your relationship with God.  There is going to come a time when we become older and endure struggles, and that is when we try to find God, we will be saved then but we won't have that relationship to draw on the peace and comfort we know we have.  Build your relationship now so when that time comes you will know that all things are working together for the good due to the fact that you love God and you fulfilled your purpose.  There comes a time when God will be getting ready to call us home and we want to enjoy that home going awaiting with our families.  Some ignore God and when it comes to that point they are filled with so much fear and stress that there is no happiness and enjoyment.  Going home to be with the Lord is one of the Greatest of His Many Blessings, remember Him now.  

Prov 3:6 (KJV) "6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

     Yesterday we looked at trusting God and not relying on our own understanding, and when we trust God we have to do as this verse instructs us.  In ALL our ways meaning in whatever we do and in everything we do consult God, acknowledge God.  When we acknowledge God He will direct our path, meaning guiding us and leading us.  Sometimes we don't acknowledge Him and we find ourselves on a path that we don't like then we try to change the path.  Let us think about God in all we do rather it be in thought or action and allow Him to direct our path which has Many Blessings on it.

Prov 3:5 (KJV) "5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding"

    Sometimes in life we don't understand why things happen the way they do, we don't understand some of the situations we find ourselves or others in.  When we don't understand we try to find out why so we can put some understanding to our life.  In this verse we are told with ALL your heart trust God, and don't rely, look, or lean on your understanding.  We don't have to understand and we will not understand everything, but we certainly can trust that He will see us through and save us.  Trust God in everything and walk with Him and you will experience Many Blessings!

2 Cor 1:4 (NKJV) "4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble..."

    Talking about paying it forward, God comforts us in all our tribulations, so if you are experiencing a rough time at the moment pray and tell God you need Him and His comfort and tell Him that His Word says you will comfort me.  God is a God who doesn't lie and you will find comfort, by opening up to God and asking for His guidance and help.  Once you receive that comfort look for an opportunity to pass it along to someone else.  Tell someone else I asked God in my life and asked to be comforted and He did it, and let them know that the same comfort is available to them as well.  This is a very good way to receive Many Blessings and pass on Many Blessings.  God loves you be encouraged!

Gen 32:26 (KJV) "26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me."

     In reading Gen 32:24-30 we see the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel of the Lord.  In this encounter the angel says, "let me go" and Jacob's reply was, "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me".  In our life we wrestle and struggle with God and finding and doing His will, but we need to be like Jacob and hold on to God and His ways and tell ourselves, "I won't let go until I'm blessed".  Sometimes it takes great pain to hold on to God and His ways and deny self, but hold on to God and all His ways and in the end you will share in the Many Blessings God has for you.  Hold on and don't let go!
