WORD FOR TODAY
Perseverance
1. Be faithful to the end Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end:
2.Endure Suffering 2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, asa good soldier of Jesus Christ:
3. Stay alert Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
4. Watch out for attacks from devil 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking who he may devour
5. Nothing can separate us from Christ Romans 8 38,39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Wisdom for Life
A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume..
and the day you die is better than the day you are born.
Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties...
after all, everyone dies-
so the living should take this to heart
Sorry is better than laughter
for sadness has a refining influence on us...
A wise person thinks a lot about death,
while a fool thinks only about having a good time...
Better to be criticized by a wise person...
than to be praised by a fool.
A fool's laughter is quickly gone,
like thorns crackling in a fire
This is also meaningless
Extortion turns wise people into fools...
and bribes corrupt the heart.
Finishing is better than starting
Patience is better than pride
Control your temper...
for anger labels you a fool.
Don't long for "the good old days"
This is not wise
Wisdom is even better when you have money
both are a benefit as you go through life
Wisdom and money can get you almost anything
but only wisdom can save your life
Accept the way God does things,
for who can straighten what he has made crooked?
Enjoy prosperity while you can,
but when hard times strike...
realize that both come from God
Remember that nothing is certain in this life
Ecclesiastes 7:1-14

ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful words you share...as we are in the midst of the holiday season...for many this is a truly hard time...with the causes being fianancial..memories of love ones passed...facing their lonesome time...due to family being far...just some to mention...It is sooooooo soooooo important in everyday life to perservere...we just need to understand it is perserverence=growth time...and though it seems like hardship...prosperity is on its way....We have to keep on "keepin on"...and if we feel we can't..then we do our best and give God the rest....Praise Him!!
May God Bless you for being a vessel of his word....

ReplyDeletethanks Sistah
ReplyDeleteONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE ECCLESIASTE: ECCL; 7:1--BETTER IS THE DAY OF DEATH THAN THE DAY OF BEING BORN....REASON IS BECAUSE AT BIRTH WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD RECORD OF WORKS STORED UP FOR OURSELVES, WE HAVE A CHANCE TO DO SO WHILE WE ARE ALIVE AND LIVING SO THAT AT OUR DEATH WE COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MUCH, A GREAT RECORD BEFORE GOD.
ReplyDeleteECCL 7:8--BETTER IS TO BE PATIENT THAN HAUGHTY--IF WE ARE PATIENT, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH MANY THINGS. IF WE ARE HAUGHTY, BOASTFUL AND PROUD, THAT IS NOT GOOD BEFORE GOD. BETTER TO EXERCISE
PATIENCE.
ECCL 7:9-DO NOT HURRY IN YOUR SPIRIT TO BECOME OFFENDED BECAUSE THAT LIES WITH THOSE WHO ARE NOT SO WISE..SO IF YOU HEAR THAT SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT YOU, LET IT RIDE OR OUR OVER JUST LIKE A PROVERBIAL DUCKS BACK.
ECCL 7:12--WISDOM IS FOR A PROTECTION THE SAME THAT MONEY IS FOR A PROTECTION...BOTH ARE IMPORTANT BUT WISDOM PRESERVES ALIVE ITS OWNERS.
PERSEVERE IS A MUST, ALL OF US MUST ENDURE TO THE END.....NEVER GIVING UP...TESTS AND TRIALS WILL COME AND GO BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!!!!
