ABRAHAM

 

     Abraham was a complex man and had many faces.  He was a man of faith, a father of nations, a deceiver and a man who believed God’s promises.  He was a man of obedience he went where he was to where God wanted him to be.  Abraha, was unselfish.  He gave the best of the land to his nephew Lot.  He was a man of courage.  He rescued the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. 

     Abraham was a giver.  He gave a tithe to Melchizedek.  He was mighty in prayer.  He prayed for people who were facing judgment.  He was a man of faith and God accounted to him as righteous.  All Abraham had was a promise from God, but he took that promise and made a new life and we can as well. 

     Through Abraham all nations have been blessed.  Three major religions claim him as their own.  He followed God’s call and so must we. When you do like the old army phrase, “there is no life like it.”

HELPING OTHERS

 

     Let me encourage you today if you see someone falling behind go back and walk beside them and remind them, they are not walking alone.  If you see someone fall, go over and offer to help pick them up.  This shows you care and are willing to include them.  You are not only doing it for them, but it is a reflection of the character and nature you have developed in your life. 

     These acts of love and kindness remind people that they have self worth because you showed it to them and it can be an example for them to do it to others.  Jesus said, “do unto others as you would have them do it unto you.”  In short treat people the way you want to be treated.  One more thing this act of love may seem small to  you be it could mean the whole world to you.

A NEW DAY

 Well, here it is another day.  It is day that you walk into.  Yesterday had problems, trials and situation that were both good and bad.  Yet here it is another day.  You cannot erase the chapters left behind or the pain they hold but with the new day an opportunity to begin a new chapter and a new page.  This is a permission that you give yourself.  Remember you and God are writing your story.  This is what makes life exciting and uneasy.  So, with courage, peace of heart, self examination and hope you begin new and fresh for the road ahead.  Jeremiah said that the mercies of God are new every morning great is his faithfulness.  Remember you got this.

SELF EXAMINATION

 

     Self examination and self reflection can be an interesting prospect because you have to confront the real you.  Not the image you are projecting but the real you.  It is a humbling but important process.  You will never become the person you are supposed to be until you get rid of the bad habits, mentality and attitudes that are slowing and hindering you. 

     It is important to find out why you say, do and think certain things.  There is anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, offense and other negatives lurking in the background that must be confronted and released from your life.  This is the only way you can be a better you walking in grace, love, forgiveness, mercy, and proper attitudes.

QUOTES FOR OCT 31, 2026

 

SAVIOR AND JUDGE

 

Oct 31 – Savior and Judge - Isaiah 66:12-16

 

     The Lord is now extending peace like a river and the wealth of the nations like flooding streams.  As a mother nurses and cares for her children so the Lord will care for His children.  When one sees what the Lord does, they will in their heart rejoice and flourish like grass in the field. 

      The Lord is coming with fury, fire, and his chariots will come like a whirlwind to destroy His enemies.

He will rebuke with fire and fury.  The Lord will execute judgment on all people, and many will be slain by the Lord.  The Lord is both Savior and judge depending on what you do with Jesus.
