As I complete this 27th Psalm Series, I realized that everything I wrote about He made sure I believed and exercised for myself. Each time I wanted to lash out at my enemy (but didn’t), and every time I wanted to give up on life (but didn’t), Jesus was right there to strengthen me through this word and show me His face. 

Every comment made against you doesn’t deserve a response. The time you spend defending yourself is less time you spend with Christ.

It’s coming. You can’t stop it. You can’t prevent it. It’s inevitable! Someone is going to lie on you. It shouldn’t come as a surprise. Scripture warns us that as believers, we will suffer persecution. 

You may not always find what He tells you comfortable. Nevertheless, expect God’s word to give it to you straight. If you stick with it, you’ll find the results are better than what you could have ever imagined.

When people forsake you or bring up your mistakes, say to them, “Yes. I’ve made mistakes, but your mistake is believing that’s all God has for me.” 

God will never stop loving or caring for you either, but sometimes it’s hard to hear His voice clearly because of the wrong you’ve done in your life. But, thank Jesus that no matter what you have done, God will never reject or forsake you.

When you walk in your gifted area, God will bless you without you even trying. Allow the light of Christ to shine through you and your works and people will be drawn to you. You will find... 

As a child of God, Jesus will instruct and teach you the way you should go in life. And when you choose to go about handling a situation your own way, He’ll be there to counsel you with His love and get you back on track. 

You have the God given ability to change any negative situation into a positive. You do this when you decide to use words that build up a person instead of tear them down. 

When you woke up this morning, did you feel blessed? I hope you did because you are.  You don’t have to beg anyone for a blessing or ask to be blessed. God is so great that He’s already filled you with blessings. 

Today my friend, be encouraged! Know that God sees the good you do in life and will reward you in due time. Don’t become discouraged because...

Today, little versions of yourself will appear on your shoulders. One will tell you the wrong thing to do in a situation while the other will tell you what God wants you to do.

Don’t wait until you “get right” to give your life to Christ. Jesus died for you while you were in sin. He wants you to come to Him as you are. 

The important thing is to realize God is able to strengthen you and keep you from turning back to those things that blocked your view of Him. 

You too can have child-like confidence when God promises you something. You may have to wait longer than you want, but you can rest assured knowing He will make good on His promises. 

In Christ you have overcome anything and everyone that comes against what God has for you and says about you. You don’t have to entertain what the world thinks of you because God thinks the world of you. 

When you look at situations from Christ’s perspective, there’s no room for negative thinking! You can either focus on what’s in front of you, or focus on what God can do.

No matter your personal struggle or the actions of others, God designed us all to work together.

Don’t confuse your responsibility with Christ’s responsibility. Your job as a believer is to “lift” the name of Jesus and He will do the “drawing.” 

Make it your choice to encourage and lift up everyone you encounter today. A simple pat on the back or saying “good job” will go a long way. God wants us to consider one another and...
