For those of you who are not on certain Social Media sites, I publish “Short Takes” every day.
Below are the takes for last week. The first listed are from me. The remaining are from other writers.
I pray they bless you and keep you striving toward a full Kingdom walk ‘for such a time as this!’
God Bless,
Michele
From Esther’s Warriors Ministry:
~”You are chosen. You are loved. You are His. Live accordingly!”
~”When your heart finds home in Him…You live in His peace!”
~”Celebrate the beauty of each season!”
~”You can choose to be crushed by circumstance or strengthened by it. Choose wisely!”
~“Know that God has you covered in every area of your life. Every area…that you submit to Him!”
~”Each beat of a faith filled heart resonates grace into each situation. Have that heart!”
~”Let your faith be stronger than your feelings!”
~”Ruminate on what you see…Or meditate on God’s promises? Your choice!
~”Never underestimate God’s plan. Let your faith eyes look forward in trust!”
Thoughts From Other Writers:
~”It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Frederick Douglas
~”You better stop being a Democrat. You better stop being a Republican. You better start being an American.” Arnold Fisher
~”Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.” Ronald Reagan
~”God can do more with your surrender than you can do with your control.” Craig Groeshel
~”Sometimes I had a bad day means…I almost didn’t make it home. Be thankful for our police.” Deputy Sheriff
~”What wings are to a bird and sails are to a ship, so is prayer to the soul.” Corrie ten Boom
~”Every coin in our pocket, every bill in our wallet says ‘In God We Trust.’ So, if it’s in our founding documents, it’s in our pledges, in our courts, and it’s on our money but we’re not supposed to talk about it, what in the world is that? In medicine it’s called schizophrenia. And I, for one, am simply not willing to kick God to the curb.” Ben Carson
~”God didn’t remove the Red Sea. He opened it. Just because God hasn’t removed your problem, doesn’t mean He won’t provide a way through it.” The Apostolic Encourager
~”Happiness blooms from within.” Courtney Lyman Designs
~”To all the kids that walked out of schools to protest guns…Jews gave up their firearms to Hitler. They were led into gas chambers, murdered and buried in mass graves. Pick up a history book and you’ll realize what happens when you give up freedoms and why we have them.” Maria Hatzipetros
~”Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder.” Charity Sparrow
~”A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.” Rising Back Again
~”Everyday is Military Appreciation Day!” The Brotherhood Paying Honor to the Military
~”I grieve not with the moaning wind, as if a loss befell; before me, even as behind, God is, and all is well.” John Greenleaf Whittier
USA Military Families
~”May not soldier go unloved. May no soldier walk alone. May no soldier be forgotten. May no soldier be left behind when they return home!”
~”Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.”
~”Remember the fallen. Remember the sacrifice of our brave men and women. God bless you.”
~”A prayer for our troops: Lord we come before Your throne of grace asking You to protect our troops. Strengthen them with Your power and minister to their spirits. “No weapon formed against them shall prosper” and “My presence will go with you and I will give you rest.” May miracles abound them.”
~”Heavenly Father, we lift our sailors, soldiers, marines, airmen, coastguard and families into Your loving care. Protect our nation from all that is evil. Guide our way through these difficult times. Amen.”
~”In memory of the brave men and women who gave their lives to defend our Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. We honor their personal courage to face fear, danger, adversity and the ultimate sacrifice.”
~”As long as they fight I will continue to pray and wear red on Fridays.”
Dear Prayer Warriors, Thank you for your faithfulness to pray weekly for the States that comprise our great Nation and to pray for the United States of America and all in authority over us. God bless you exponentially, Michele
If you have not yet made the decision to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, do it now. Do not wait another minute. Speak to Him from your heart (for it is always a heart issue). Tell Him you have fallen short in your life. Sincerely apologize for your sins. Ask Him to cleanse you and come into your heart and be Lord over your life. From this moment forward, let His Spirit guide you along the narrow road that leads to everlasting life!
Perhaps you have gotten off track. Recommit your life to Him today. It is never too late!
“Yet who knows whether you have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14
Pray for America
“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
