A Thanksgiving Proclamation

Today, in the United States of America, we celebrate Thanksgiving.  This is a day to gather with family and friends to share food and traditions.

This National holiday was established in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln who said, “…I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”(underline added)

Daily Inspiration-Be the Best Encounter!

Whatever your job, do it to the best of your ability.  Whether you work at home, outside of your home, or volunteer, do your best.  Treat all with whom you come in contact with respect and kindness.

Life is challenging at times.  Be the best encounter each person  you meet has in a day. 

Do it all as if Jesus is right there with you…because He is!  Keep that ever in mind.  Let your behavior reflect His compassion and grace.  Forgive often.

For it is

Daily Inspiration-Walk in Peace!

Most often, the best thing to do is to walk away from antagonistic folks.  Many people are quite contentious these days.  They will pick a fight with you or cause strife over anything.  Do not take the bait!

Especially as we enter the holiday season and nerves can be frayed, look for ways to bring peace to the situation rather than angst.  As a follower of Jesus Christ you are to walk with your feet shod with the Gospel of peace and reflect Him.  Check your heart, for it is always a heart issue.  If you are constantly thinking it

Daily Inspiration-Walk in Miracles!

The other day, I was picking up Christmas cards at a local Wal-Mart.  I found the perfect Dayspring cards with an awesome Jesus message.  I said a little prayer that whoever would read it would be touched no matter what their relationship with God may or may not be.

As I was checking out I watched the clerk read the card and a change came over her demeanor.  Thank You, God.  Now it begins!  The next day I returned to pick up another box to be sure I would not run out.  As I stepped up to the register the

‘Pray the States!’

In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation.   Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people.    We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14).  We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue.  Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.

Daily Inspiration-Do You Really Know What Love Is?

Some people are so broken by rejection and life experience.  The fragmented shards remain in their heart (and it is always a heart issue) and continue to cut deep into each relationship and circumstance they encounter.  The depth and gravity of former wounding continues to distort each situation in their life.  The distortion is so deceptive that they do not really know what is truth and what is a lie.  This plays out quite vividly in relationship.

Toxicity is so prevalent today that it has become acceptable by many.  If you have to ‘keep trying harder’ to make it work,

Daily Inspiration-Wherein Lies Your Power?

Life is a series of experiences.  It is simply that.  The value you assign to each experience…positive or negative…will greatly impact your journey through life.   If you tend to see the negative side of a situation you will surely miss any positive you could enjoy along the way.  I am not saying to be a Pollyanna and not see reality.  What I am saying is to stay positive, use discernment and  keep your vision forward .

Do not sweat the small stuff.   In the realm of all eternity, it is all small stuff!  Trust in the Lord, for therein lies

Daily Inspiration-God Prevails!

God prevails!

I read this on a sign as I drove by a church and the words really hit my spirit.  Whatever may be going on in your life…no matter how dire it may look in the natural…just know that God prevails.

God prevails in every single situation!

Read that again.  Let it get deep in your spirit and bring you His peace.  God prevails….not man…not the worldly system…God prevails!

For it is written:

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “Who
