Worry may actually shorten our life. DO NOT WORRY!
Nov 18th
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN. MATTHEW 6:34 *NIV
Now I ask you, WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE? MATTHEW 6:27 In fact, some studies even show that worry may actually shorten our life!
Therefore instead of worrying CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. 1 PETER 5:7 For then, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID; WHEN YOU LIE DOWN YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. PROVERBS 3:24
After all what is worry anyway, but the opposite of faith! So, have faith and always turn your worries over to God! Then you will be able to say with confidence…..
“Why Worry About Tomorrow?”
Why worry about tomorrow
And the rising of the sun,
Of anguish over past mistakes
That cannot be undone?
Why waste life’s precious moments
On things that bruise the heart
When today is ours to fashion
Into a work of art?
Today comes but once, my friend,
It never can return–
So use it wisely while you can,
There’s a lesson you may learn.
Let history record the past
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best
With what you have today!

Let your speech always be with Grace

Jesus Said; “THERE IS NOTHING THAT ENTERS A MAN FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH CAN DEFILE HIM; BUT THE THINGS WHICH COME OUT OF HIM, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT DEFILE HIM.” MARK 7:15 *NKJV
As Christians we must be careful of the words we speak, and keep them soft and sweet, because sometimes we can defile ourselves with our words. For if we are not careful OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEED BLESSING AND CURSING. MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT TO BE SO. JAMES 3:10
Therefore: LET YOUR SPEECH ALWAYS BE WITH GRACE, SEASONED WITH SALT, THAT YOU MAY KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH OTHER. COLOSSIANS 4:6
So Beloved, speak only words of kindness, and; SPEAK EVIL TO NO ONE, TO BE PEACEABLE, GENTLE, SHOWING ALL HUMILITY TO ALL MEN. TITUS 3:2
FINALLY, ALL OF YOU BE OF ONE MIND, HAVING COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER; LOVE AS BROTHERS, BE TENDERHEARTED, BE COURTEOUS; NOT RETURNING EVIL FOR EVIL OR REVILING FOR REVILING, BUT ON THE CONTRARY BLESSING, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE CALLED TO THIS, THAT YOU MAY INHERIT A BLESSING. Amen. 1 PETER 3:8-9 )
Be careful of thy words

BELOVED, IF OUR HEART DOES NOT CONDEMN US, WE HAVE CONFIDENCE TOWARD GOD. AND WHATEVER WE ASK WE RECEIVE FROM HIM, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT. 1 JOHN 3:21-22 *NKJV
Now would you change the way that you live if you knew that God knew all of your thoughts, heard all of your words, and knew all the desires of your heart? Well, He does for it is written: THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THAT THEY ARE FUTILE. For He even; KNOWS THE SECRETS OF THE HEART. PSALM 94:11 & PSALM 44:21
Now when we try our best to have pure thoughts and desires and follow the Commandments put forth by God, we often get our prayers answered. For it is written: THE EFFECTIVE FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH. JAMES 5:16
So, when you speak be careful of the words you use, and keep them soft and sweet. For we are to always ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP. Most of all, always think before you speak so that: THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE ACCEPTABLE IN YOUR SIGHT, O LORD, MY STRENGTH AND MY REDEEMER. Amen! 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11 & PSALM 19:14
Now, have a great day and may it be filled with blessings indeed!
