The Value of Peace

514) I have found when I have  to talk myself into something, it’s generally not a great idea. Philippians 4:7 tells us there is an even better rule of thumb: if you have peace about a decision, it’s a good indication that it’s endorsed by God. Peace!

Contentment Is Misunderstood

512) Contentment is a misunderstood word. The word contentment as used in Philippians 4:11, means to recognize what is “enough.” God promises His children that He will provide for their needs but He does not promise to provide for every want. Contentment means we can sit back and say, “I’ve got enough” and mean it.

Masquerade

504) I was told by an authority of the U.S. Mint that when they train employees to recognize counterfeit money, they spend their time in training studying bills that are not counterfeit.

Can I Get a Witness?

482)  As God’s children, we are witnesses to others, even when we are not aware of this fact. What we do or say could be the difference that convinces another to accept or reject God’s gift of salvation. What kind of witness are you? Acts 1:8

I’m a Worrier

476) OK, I admit it; I’m a worrier. Someone told me recently that worrying is a feeble attempt to control what happens. It doesn’t work and the time and energy I spent worrying could have been invested in profitable things. Note to self, “Stop worrying!”  Luke 12:25

What is Mercy?

474)  Mercy is a gift we can give others. It is the decision to let someone who has wronged us off the hook. A wrong was done & no penalty is given. God is merciful with us so how can we not be with others? Luke 6:36
