Today, I Choose TRUTH!
What is Truth? Some people today think truth depends on circumstances. What is truth for one may not be truth for another. I, on the other hand, believe in absolute truth. The Bible says God is the truth, and God’s word is the truth. Truth is not of this world; it is from above. It…

Today, I choose to Fear the Lord!
To fear the Lord does not mean to be afraid of Him. It means to reverence Him, to have a deep respect and awe for God’s power and authority. The Bible says fearing the Lord will give you wisdom, keep you from sin, and motivate you to evangelize. Dear Heavenly Father, help us to always…

Today, Put on the armor of God!
Daily, we are in a spiritual war with the enemy. Satan prowls around, tempting us to sin. He is delighted when we do sin. How do we fight this unseen enemy? The Bible says to put on the whole armor of God each morning. This consists of Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Faith, Salvation, and God’s word. …

Today, Lets talk about Temptation
Temptation is from the enemy (Satan). Remember when Jesus was in the desert and was tempted by the devil for forty days? Jesus was tempted in every way possible. Yet, He did not sin.

Today, I want to talk about “other gods!”
The Bible states that God is our creator. He is a jealous God, not wanting us to worship other gods. How often, in my past, have I allowed other “gods” in my life? Many times. Whether it is money, prestige, addiction, or shopping, all of it is worshipping other gods. I had been breaking God’s…

Today, I choose HUMILITY
We all have heard the saying, “Pride goes before a fall.” The Lord teaches us in Philippians 2:3 to do nothing out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than ourselves. This is the attitude we should always have. We should never consider ourselves above others, for God created us all equal. It…

Today, I Choose MERCY
What is Mercy? The dictionary describes mercy as an act of kindness, compassion, or favor for someone. God calls us to be merciful to others in Psalm 145:8. “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love.” God also tells us in James 2:13, “For the judgment is merciless to one…

Today, I Choose FORGIVENESS
It takes purpose, determination, and action to forgive others who have hurt us. For me, I would say I forgive them, but in my heart, I still carried a grudge. It wasn’t until I heard and heeded the verse in Matthew 5:44 that said to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. …

Today, I Choose HOPE!
I have been without hope a few times in my life. The discouragement and defeat I felt in my soul was overwhelming. Only by the Grace of God could I defeat the enemy (Satan) and pull myself up out of the pit of despair. I learned a few things through those trials. Never, ever give…

Today, I Choose FAITH!
What is Faith? It can be described as the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. To me, faith is an unwavering trust in God. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Mark 11:24, “Therefore, whatever…
