The pruning process is the growth process though tough. When we examine our thoughts, intentions and actions through the lens of God’s word, we prune them into alignment with God’s will.

Inspiring devotional.

Thank you Blandine for the thoughtful post. We are constantly told about self care which is very important. However, sometimes this could be a thin line and used as an excuse for selfishness.Paul had to ask the Corinthian church members who were always looking for their rights at all cost “can’t you be cheated?” Hard but sometimes in other to win, we may need to lose.

Someone said “How much we win in God’s kingdom is determined by how much we are willing lose”.

Instructive one here.

I used to try to carry all my activities in my head and then struggle to remember them as the day progresses. I felt more stressed until I decided to schedule my activities. Now, I have things planned out with reminders. That way I only have to look at my planners and reminders and I’m guided on my activities.

Those who fail to schedule their plans will likely find themselves fulfilling other people’s plans.

Amen!

Thank you for this. Tests produce perseverance and strength of character which gives us assurance of reward in future. This for me is the secret of success anywhere.

I really love this. There is power when we share our goals with the right people who support and invest in us. Be wary of sharing with people who only discourage you.

Still on our Christmas carols. I love this one: God rest you merry Gentlemen. Merry Christmas!

Still on Christmas carols. Today I’ll share, “Hark the herald, Angels sing”, which for me brings the nostalgic feeling of Christmas. Much more the lyrics are powerful telling of the glory and purpose of Jesus’ birth. I like this rendition by the Spirituals choir:

My inspiring carol today is this one below 👇🏻

It reminds me to hold onto God’s word of promise because you do not know how much impact it will bring to the world around you. Enjoy!

Trusting in God’s discernment of unfolding events is the bedrock of my faith.

Sometimes we think that faith is forcing God’s hands to do something for us. For me my greatest faith comes in aligning my desires and timing with God’s program and just watch as all things unfold for my good.

Amen! 🙏🏻

What struck me about this scripture is how a man was so lost in God that he could no longer fit in this earth and God took him. One of recent targets is to spend a whole 24hrs in total prayer and worship.

Also it’s instructive to me that the greatest reward God gives us is Himself. He told Abraham, “I am your shield and your exceeding great reward.” Gen 15:1 Wow! When God pledges Himself to you! We have Him in Christ. And if God be for us who(what) can be against us. The more we see Him, they more we know who we are. For as He is, so are we in this world. Hallelujah!

Happy Sunday!

Inspiring! I was just thinking of this song this morning.
