Protect Your Space

“In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Eph. 4:26-27 (NIV) Most of our anger derives from pain and hurt feelings. Having an inability to forgive or process your emotions in a healthy and safe way can plant seeds of bitterness and anger deep within you. It is better to settle a matter before it takes root and grows a life of its own. It is not easy, but it is worth the effort to release what’s trying to keep a hold on you. When your emotions are hemmed up in a negative place you have now invited the enemy into your space. Guard yourself by denying access through the door of anger. May God keep you as you surrender all things and people unto Him, so you can walk in peace and experience true rest. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Bountiful Harvest

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. Psalm 37:5 (NRSVUE) There is a return on trusting God. When we rely on Him, we receive the manifestation of all that He intended for us. When we walk by faith and not by sight, He rewards our faithfulness unto Him and satisfies the places in our life that are longing to be filled. Give all your cares and concerns to the Lord and commit your heart to trusting in Him. Seeds planted in trust and nurtured by unwavering faith will yield a bountiful harvest. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Keep It Moving

But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26 (NIV)  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:14 (NIV) It is a good thing to remember how far God has brought you. There is power in your testimony and it keeps you humble and grateful. However, it is impossible to move forward successfully if you keep longing for or harboring on the past, especially your mistakes of yesterday. God has blessings in store for you right now and your future awaits. Stop looking back. Your present deserves your presence. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Let The Spirit Lead

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—Isaiah 11:2 (NIV) When seeking God for direction, trust the leading of the Spirit. In your time of decision-making God will give you divine wisdom through discernment. He will not allow you to wander around purposeless, but rather He will lead you down the divine path orchestrated for you. Drown your doubts with faith and follow God’s lead. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Believe What He Said

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. Matt. 24:35 (NLT) In a world full of uncertainty one thing is for sure, whatever God has spoken over your life will come to fruition. God has orchestrated a plan for you and He has declared all that He has in store for you. No one can alter or stop it. What He has spoken will not rest unto it is fulfilled. Stay in position and remain anchored in the Lord. Don’t trust what you see; believe what He said. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

I, only I, am He who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25 (Amp.) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 (NIV) We are all a work in progress. On this journey you may make some mistakes. When you seek God and ask for forgiveness don’t be bound by that which is trying to hold you down. When thoughts enter your mind and constantly remind you of your flaws and short-comings remind yourself God is working on you and submit to the process. Godly sorrow turns us towards God; condemnation makes us want to run from Him. When you fall, ask God to pick you up and continue to press forward. Don’t give up, because He will not forsake you. Stay the course. ADaubon

The Lord Provides

The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want. Psalm 23:1 (Amp.) Be confident and know that we have a Shepherd who will take care of us. He provides, guides and hides us under the shadow of His wings. There is nothing that we need that He cannot respond to. If we long for anything let it be for more of Him. He can and will take care of the rest, if we only trust Him without wavering in our hearts. Lay all your concerns before Him and depend on Him to make a way out of no way. Believe in your heart that God does have treasures stored up just for you. There are blessings with your name on it that cannot be derailed by anyone. Allow God to direct and protect you in every area of your life. Let go of anxiety and rest in assurance that you are being kept by God and all that you need He will supply and provide. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Make every effort to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace [each individual working together to make the whole successful]. Eph. 4:3 (Amp.) There is more that connects us than divides us. Allowing the love of God to flow through us is a must. Being a proponent of peace fosters a community of unity. Working together helps us to survive any type of weather. No work can really be done unless we work as one. True success happens when we come together to get ahead. When tempted to think of only yourself, consider connecting with others instead. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
