During times of adversity and turmoil, we as a nation tend to turn to so many different things to give us hope and refuge. Some turn to substances where others turn to other people and they see this as their reality! But the TRUTH of the matter is Jesus is our source and total resource in times of trouble and at ALL times.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Matthew 24:35
When all else fails, and it will, the only thing that will remain are the words God breathed on the writers of the Bible. Jesus is the word manifested in flesh and He and it will remain even after the world is no more. So if you want your spirit to flourish and to remain, feed it the unadulterated word of God. When you need to turn to Truth, turn to God's word and obey! I guarantee you it will encourage, uplift and challenge you to do and be better!

Breaking Ground
My word is bond! Has anyone ever said those words to you before? Its a slang that means, you can trust what I say to be true.
Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29
Some of us are guilty of the opposite. We say things and make promises we can't fulfill. We also say negative things to people that they allow to pile up within. God said His word is like fire and a hammer. The fire consumes the lies we've heard that is contrary to His word and the hammer breaks up the fallow ground left behind by the negative comments we've accepted over the years.
Please know that "positive change" is always the result of the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit who carries out God's word. Allow the word of God to change and transform your life today. Read, study and prove His word! The world is waiting!!!
Let's break some ground!

Can God Brag on You?
I know all of us, including myself, have sinned against God. But through the blood of Jesus and a repentant heart, we can begin again.
6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, "where have you come from?" Satan answered the Lord, "from roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it." 8 Then the Lord said to Satan, "have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." Job 1:6-8
Do you remember as a child how we would try to get the attention of our parents by doing our best at what we were doing in front of them? What we were attempting to do was find favor in their sight. Today, we should be trying to find favor in the eyes of our heavenly Father. In our text God has found favor in Job because Job was seeking the favor of God. Through this attempt to please God, Job was considered, with great confidence by God, to be tried by Satan.
Can God find you worthy of His confidence today because you're seeking to please Him. Are you desperately trying to please Him by being obedient to His will and His word? Well, if you're falling short or if you're straddling the fence, get off and repent; it's never too late!
God wants to have confidence in ALL of His children. Will you be one?
