daily prayer

     Good morning!  How are we faithing?  We want to get better, improve as it were and any time we improve on our own or think we did it on our own we step into a dangerous place of pride. We're not talking about learning and getting real good at our job but improving in our walk with Jesus and then starting to think we're all that and before you know it, look at others and pick em apart. If and when your life improves because of adhering to Godly principles always be sure to pray with thanksgiving as soon as you realize it is taking place.  We are and were not capable of improving ourselves without God and if we don't want to stumble off God's path we need to remind ourselves.  Jesus prayed and communed constantly with the Father.  The apostles prayed all the time too because besides this is a relationship, they never forgot from whence they came. If you want to avoid becoming one of those "holier than thou" people everyone complains about or  look down your nose at the less fortunate you had better be quick to recognize from where your improvement came from.





1Ti 6:3-5
  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Php 2:3  

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 

remember Ben Reed...remember Harold Markey...remember the Emma Joy Ford family...remember my old friend Earl Jones that he heal and find Jesus...

Heavenly Father,

   Thank you for your grace and love for a wretched bunch like us. Lord forgive us when we think more of ourselves than we deserve.  Help us have courage under fire, wisdom on our tongues and love in our hearts no matter what happens.  Bless those mentioned. Lead them to you. Lord we lift all the new believers and in your name rebuke the enemy.  in Jesus name, amen
