Scripture of the Day
Joshua 1:5 (NIV)
"HE's Got Your Back"
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
-------------------------------------------------------
After the death of Moses, GOD told Joshua that he would be taking the Israelites into the promise land! GOD was letting Joshua know that HE had his back! Most of us can relate to, "HE didn't bring us this far to leave us!" GOD doesn't just bring you to the outside of victory! GOD is with us before we walk into battle! HE is a shield during the battle! And HE is the banner after the battle! This is what the LORD is telling us when HE says "NO one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. HE's Got Your Back for life!
So remember, even when the times get rough, finances get tight, and loneliness seems to be your only company . . . GOD said that HE will never leave us nor forsake us! Do you believe that GOD has got your back . . . for life? If so . . . live like it!
Happy Mother's Day Blessing - Proverbs 31:2
Scripture of the Day
Proverbs 31:2
"Happy Mother's Day Blessing"
Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.
---------------------------------------------
This is to every child and husband! I know we will buy cards, flowers, and gifts! We will take them out to eat and tend to their every need on mother's day, as if the 8th of May is the only day they deserve to be treated as a blessed woman of GOD! I for one have never called my mother blessed! I feel it and I know that she is blessed, but never have I actually shared those words with her! This mother's day, start speaking blessings to your mother! Tell her she is blessed and let her know she is loved by you and the almighty GOD!
Husbands! We have to train and encourage our children to be a blessing . . . share a blessing . . . and speak a blessing in their mother's life! Don't just whisper sweet things in her ear, but speak praises of her in the streets! When have you told your friend that you are in love with the mother of your children! When have you told her that you love the mother of your children!
Mother's are special . . . every day!

Working For Each Other - Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV)
Scripture of the Day
Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV)
“Working For Each Other”
For GOD is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward HIS name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
--------------------------------------------------------
I will always say this, because I have lived it! Whenever you feel like you are at your lowest . . . serve (work for) others in the LORD! You will be surprised at what other saints are going through . . . without complaining! There have been times when I thought GOD had forgotten about me, and the Spirit would tell me to go serve others. Someone who seems to be worse off than me would give their testimony and end it with something like, “But don’t feel sorry for me, because the LORD is on my side!” When you can see the faith that they have through it all . . . it is an awesome encouragement! That is when my heart sings out "How Great Is Our GOD!" Now I find myself excited to serve (work) for others! Each time the Spirit tells me to put myself out there for others, I end up being blessed by those very folks!!
Let us work, serve, and pray for each other! Not because we can, but because we love!!!!!
Your Fellow Servant In CHRIST JESUS!
Will Work For Food - John 6:26-28
Scripture of the Day
John 6:26 - 28 (NIV)
“Will Work For Food”
JESUS answered, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for ME, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On HIM GOD the FATHER has placed his seal of approval.”
---------------------------------------------------
Man does not live on bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD (Deuteronomy 8:3). You can be surrounded by the plush fruits and fattest calves, and still starve to death! Oh sure! Your belly will be filled with meat, but your soul will be starving for JESUS! If we feed the flesh, then we grow in the flesh! But if we feed the spirit, then we grow in the spirit! Spiritually, we must work for food! We must eat from The Bread of Life . . . the Fruit of the Spirit! This is the food that endures eternal life. Our souls cannot feed off of McDonalds! We can eat the healthiest foods to keep our bodies strong, but we must feed off of every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD to keep our spiritual life growing! For HE satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. (Psalm 107:9)
Work Ethic
Scripture of the Day
Proverbs 14:23 (NIV)
“Work Ethic”
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
----------------------------------------------
My grandfather taught me the value of a dollar through hard work! He truly taught me “A day’s wages for a day’s work” He was a very hard working man, and he expected the same from anyone who worked for him. I didn’t get paid a lot, but it put money in the pocket! Because it took a lot to get the work done, I didn’t easily depart with my money! In most cases, quick money means quick spending! But a person who has worked hard for their money is not easily separated from their money! But the dollar amount is not the profit . . . it’s the knowledge gain by hard work that brings profit!
Some may expect GOD’s Word to come easy . . . but if that was the case, who would spend time with HIS Word! It may take you a few times to study and meditate on HIS WORD, but in the end . . . the hard work will bring a profit and a wealth of knowledge! Our work ethic as Christians should reflect the work ethics of our Savior! And we can all testify that HIS hard work paid off in the end! In fact, HIS work ethic paid off all of our debts of sin!
Be Blessed In HIS Wonderful Day!
Plenty Of Work - Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)
Scripture of the Day
Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)
"Plenty Of Work"
When HE saw the crowds, HE had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then HE said to HIS disciples, "The harvest is plenty but the workers are few. Ask the LORD of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into HIS harvest field."
------------------------------------------------
As JESUS looked out into the crowd, HE saw those who were harassed and helpless. HE saw a flock of sheep without a shepherd. JESUS was looking at the harvest of souls that would need to be nurtured, healed, and encouraged! Then HE told HIS disciples that there is more harvest than workers! Through spiritual eyes JESUS saw there was plenty of work to be done!
We all have plenty of work to do in our day! Our homes, jobs, community service, etc. How much of that work is being done through spiritual eyes? How much of our work is being done to nurture, heal and encourage the harvest of souls that are lost without a shepherd? We can't think that what we do inside the four walls of a church building is enough work for the kingdom! There is plenty of work . . . right where you are standing now . . . just look around with the same heart (spiritual eyes) like JESUS.
Just remember, there is plenty of work for the kingdom, but it is by salvation that you are saved!

Daily Encouragement Delivery- Hebrews 3:12-13 (KJV)
Scripture of the Day
Hebrews 3:12-13 (KJV)
"Daily Encouragement Delivery"
Take heed, bretheren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living GOD. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
-----------------------------------------------------
There is a new word of encouragement for each of us . . . every day! GOD's Word will reveal something new and wonderful to us Today! It is just a matter of us listening! When you least expect it, GOD will send a word of encouragement through a young child! But we miss the message because we overlook the package! Sometimes GOD will send a powerful word of encouragement through an elder, but we miss the message because we think it's out-dated! GOD's Word of encouragement is packaged in many ways. Don't think GOD's Word of encouragement can only come from a preacher with diplomas all over the wall and a huge executive desk! Sometimes you will be amazed at how big packages have very small messages inside!
When we encourage one another daily, it truly helps all of us guard our testimonies and strengthen our faith. Let us continue to pray for one another, fellowship with one another and be encouraged by one another!
Amen!
