Good Morning,

Trust in the Lord.  Obey His commandments.  For He is a true friend who has promised to never leave nor forsake all who will abide in Him.  In times of darkness, He will light the way.  In times of trouble, He provides strength, that we may endure and be victorious over trials, tribulations and temptations.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, because He first loved you and gave His life for you.  A hope for our inheritance and eternal life.

Good Morning,

Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh and these are contrary to one another.  So that you do not do the things that you wish.  These are the works of the flesh: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, disenssensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkennsess, revelries.  Those who practice such things WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.  Contrary to this is the fruit of the Spirit: love, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.  THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we live in the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit, and not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

From Galatians 5.16-25. Emphasis mine.

Good Morning,

Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. (James 1.19-20).  He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding; but the hasty of spirit exalts folly. (Proverbs 14.29).  Let not angry words pass through the lips of the disciple towards others, for He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he who takes a city. (Proverbs 16.32). Beloved do not avenge yourselves.  But rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay" says the Lord.  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgives you. ( Ephesians 4.32).

Good Morning,

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance (Psalms 33.12). When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan (Proverbs 29.2). We are always asking for God to bless America, and God has blessed this nation beyond measure; Maybe it's time for America to bless God with a thankful heart.  Turn back to Him in repentance and He will become our God, and we, His people.  There is no other way but His.

Good Morning,

The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.  And according to the proverbs of the ancients, wickedness proceeds from the wicked (1 Samuel 24.13).  And like it or not, we have to live in this broken sin filled world.  But there is hope for the faithful obedient, for we are of God.(1 John 5.19).  As children of God, we still must grow in the Spirit and in the likeness of our creator while being surrounded by the troubles and evils of the world.

Father, You are our strength and only hope to help us overcome the evil one and his wicked ways.  As we humble ourselves under Your mighty hand, Father, we give praise, honor and glory to your most holy name.  Praising and blessing You for Your truth, Your greatness, Your goodness, Your mercy and Your loving kindness.  Father, as our creator and the God of our salvation, we thank you for Your word on which we stand, and for Jesus who gave His life for us that we might have a more abundant life.  This we pray in Jesus name. AMEN.
