A PLACE IN THIS WORLD

 

     May I encourage you to not compare yourself to others.  It has been said that comparison is the thief that destroys who we can become.  Especially in your journey of life.  Remember we all have the same beginning, but we are all on a different path.  God gave us a thing to do and we must do only what we can do.  We all have different challenges, and we also choose our ultimate destination.  That is the power of free choice. 

     Someone else’s success does not mean that you are falling behind.  You were never meant to do what they are doing.  Your time, path and growth are unique.  Peter does encourage us to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ but even that is different than someone else. 

     My exhortation for you today is work on being a better version of who God intended you to be than worrying or trying to imitate someone else because you will never be them.  You were called to be who God made you to be.  Remember you have a place in this world. 

QUOTES FOR NOV 1, 2026

 

WISE SAYINGS

 

     The wise know when they put their faith and trust in the Lord.  He will do exactly what He said He would do.  If you assurance is in yourself, you will fail but if you assurance is the Lord you will succeed and prosper.  Prosperity begins with confidence in the Lord.  Health begins with the assurance and confidence that the Lord will keep his promise of health and hope.

     Our confidence in the Lord stands on the truth that God’s very nature is love and mercy.  You will never falter, slip or fail when the Lord is holding your hand.  One of greatest assets you have in your life is the confidence of God’s abilities and the talents he gives you.

     Many a motivational leader with tell you to rely on yourself.  They are wrong if you rely only on yourself.  However, if you rely of God as well then anything is possible.  If you know that God can do the impossible you are already on the way to a miracle.  When your trust is in God you may stumble and fall but you will never fail.

RETURN

 

Nov 1 – The Day of Return - Isaiah 66:1-18

 

     People will follow whoever they have chosen to follow.  The righteous will consecrate and purify themselves while the unrighteous will do the opposite.  They will meet their end together with the one they follow.  In simple terms if you follow the Lord, you will go where He is.  If you follow the devil you will end up where He is going.

     The Lord because of what is going on and has been panned by manis going to come.  This is a direct prophecy about the Lord Jesus coming.  He will gather people of all nations, language, and they will see His glory.  What an exciting day that will be.  Like the old song says.

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.
