Daily Inspiration-The Choice is Yours!

In reading 2 Corinthians today about Paul’s thorn in the flesh some things occurred to me. Much speculation has been made over the centuries about what his thorn may have been but all you really need to know is that something challenged him ‘in the flesh’ that God did not remove.  He asked God to take it  away three times.  I often marveled that he only asked three times.  How often do you ask for a challenge to be removed from your life?  I know I certainly exceed the three time pattern or request concerning the challenges in my life!

Daily Inspiration-Love Is…

What does love mean to you?  Love is…[fill in the blank].  I am sure it means something different to each of us, yet at the core love is simply love. Volumes could be and have been written about love so what I will share is just a snapshot.

   In looking up definitions of love I found almost a total inclusion of sexual attraction.  So you could deduce that in the world love is often confused with lust.  Of course in a committed marital relationship sex is a component but it surely is not the total take.  Loving someone in a

Daily Inspiration-What Do You Harbor?

Never underestimate what someone else carries.  You only see an infinitesimal snapshot of what is their life and what are their challenges.  Plus, you see what you see through your own filter which is skewed by your own life experiences.

It is always a heart issue.  What do you harbor deep in the recesses of your heart?  What is in your heart will determine how you perceive your world and the world of another.  If you harbor bitterness, rejection, anger, unforgiveness and the like, you will see all things through a negative lens.  You will operate from a place of

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-Heard Something Juicy About Someone Else Lately?

Sometimes as you continue to journey with the Lord, He will reveal something to you about someone.  First of all, test the spirit to make sure it is the Holy Spirit and not some divisive spirit just trying to stir things up.  Never forget that the enemy roams around just looking for a way to trip you up and eliminate you from your Kingdom assignment! 

Second, keep the information to yourself.  Do not share it with anyone else to include the person about whom you may have had this revelation.  Most often you are simply to pray for that person.

Daily Inspiration-We Could All Use More Order!

A young man told me not so long ago that he could be angry with God for his situation.  However, he went on to say that he took full responsibility as his choices had clearly led him there.

It is so rare that I ever hear anyone take personal responsibility for anything these days.  Blaming everyone else, to include God, is more the norm.  Never looking at how their actions and choices may have led them to where they are is sadly more common place.  It appears easier to attack everyone else’s character, life situation, etc. as the reason for

Daily Inspiration-How Do You See Your Life?

How do you see your life-intrinsically good or bad?  Are you a victim?  Do you overthink things? I know I do at times.

In the end, God is in control.  You can decide to do it your way but I have found that does not always end well.  Rather than looking at all that may be wrong, start focusing on all that may be right in your life.

Live by God’s moral code.  Be thankful.  Stop complaining and ruminating about things you cannot change.  Change the things you can beginning with your focus and attitude!

For it is written:

“Finally,
