So who do you trust God or yourself with your life?

So, watching a show today about a gentleman, this was the last thing he wrote or posted before he passed away. It got me thinking that this could be applied to both men and women, in the paragraph below.

It is easy to find fault in others and dispense blame.

I believe it takes a true man to be able to look within themselves objectively and acknowledge his own mistakes and the part he played in the failure.

In an effort to live by my own definition of a man, I attempt to do just that.

So who do you trust God or yourself with your life?

Romans 12:2

Proverbs 16:3

Philippians 4:13

Joshua 1:9

2 Peter 3:18

Psalm 139:14

Ephesians 4:22-24

James 1:4

Matthew 5:48

The journey of personal growth and self-improvement is a deeply personal one, often filled with challenges and triumphs.

In this journey, the wisdom found in the Bible serves as a guiding light, illuminating our path towards becoming better versions of ourselves.

These Bible verses are not just ancient texts, but timeless treasures, packed with wisdom that remains relevant today. They remind us that we are works in progress, constantly evolving and growing.

Whether it’s learning to be patient, shedding old habits, or trusting in God’s plans, each verse carries a powerful message of personal growth.

As you reflect on these verses, remember that each day presents an opportunity for growth and improvement. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, capable of remarkable transformation.

My secret is simple.

1 day at a time

I pray

I Trust God

I Trust Jesus

I Trust the Holy Spirit

Stay on the straight and narrow

1 Thessalonians 4:11

Then pray some more

Life will beat you down if you let it and stay out of your own head. Ah, that's the part if you have self-doubt, and you are a Bible believer, you know who is trying to wear you down, and the only way to fight him off is to trust God and to pray a lot. If you need to, go ahead and ask others to pray for you. There's power in prayer, and don't let anyone tell you different. Yes, it may not happen just like that. Remember, “God is not a genie.” He has a plan, so again, do you trust Him?

GOD BLESS AS YOU GO FORWARD

So Am I Hanging On By A Thread

So am I Hanging On By A Thread If something is hanging by a thread, it usually denotes that it  is ready to fall apart or that the situation can change in an instant.   The phrase can be applied to physical things, situations, and ideas. The term hanging by a thread, derives from the ba nquet that King Dionysius held for Damocles, a courtier of ancient Syracuse. King Dionysius was beginning to become annoyed with Damocles' constant flattery of his king. He invited him to a banquet, where Damocles was seated under a sword suspended by a single hair . It was said to symbolize his tenuous position in the court. It was not only the sword that was hanging by a thread but also Damocles' life. This also gave rise to the idea that someone can have the sword of Damocles hanging over them, mean ing they are in a very precarious situation.   I finally saw that the thread I needed to hang on to was Faith… Hebrews 11:1 Hebrews 11:6 Realize doubt can rob us of our faith and our future....

The following are 13 Realities of an Angry Pastor

  The following are 13 Realities of an Angry Pastor Audio 1. Angry Pastors Have Experienced Significant Pain and Disappointment. Hurt people hurt people. Even when they are pastors. 2. Angry Pastors Have Control Issues. They get angry when they cannot control others and/or situations. This often reveals itself when they are questioned. Angry pastors frequently confuse questions with questioning. 3. Angry Pastors Have Short Tenures. Because they lack emotional intelligence and needlessly burn so many bridges, attendance and giving decline. The people have voted with their feet and wallets. The pastor is ultimately removed. 4. Angry Pastors Lead Smaller and Smaller Congregations. Interestingly, anger limits the size of churches you can be entrusted with. I know of one pastor who pastored a historically strong church averaging 800 in attendance. Upon his self-destruction, the only church he could now get was less than 100 in attend ance. 5. Angry Pastors Offen...

What does Luke 9:59 mean?

 What does Luke 9:59 mean?   Audio Link Luke is presenting another flashback to further explain what Jesus requires of His disciples. In the previous example, a scribe wanted to follow Jesus and Jesus told him he would have to give up the luxury of house and bed ( Luke 9:57–58 ; Matthew 8:19 ). In this case, Jesus personally invites a man to come along with Him. Culturally, the man's request is honorable. Caring for one's parents is a significant tenet both in Judaism and later in Christianity. Scholars debate over what the man means by "burying" his father. If his father has just died and needs to be embalmed and placed in a tomb, the man will be made unclean for a week to fulfill the purification process ( Numbers 19:11 ). If his father is on his deathbed, he'll have to wait for the death and then perform the purification process. It's possible, however, the man is referring to the completion of the burial process. When someone died, they were wrapped in ar...
