Walk in wisdom...virtue...pure mind

  "Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."

Never give up. Some of the country's highest leaders lost at least once...But did not quit...

  • Romney would not be the first man elected to the White House with prior election losses. In fact, he would be the eighth in a row. 
  • Barack Obama ran unsuccessfully for a House seat in 2000 (if you care), 
  • as did George W. Bush in 1978. 
  • Bill Clinton lost a 1974 House race and his first re-election as governor of Arkansas, in 1980. (He made a comeback two years later.) 
  • George H.W. Bush lost a Senate race in 1970 and was an unsuccessful candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 1980.
  •  Ronald Reagan failed to win the Republican nomination in both 1968 and 1976. 
  • Jimmy Carter lost his first bid to become Georgia's governor, in 1966.
  •  Richard Nixon was defeated for the presidency in 1960 and the California governorship in 1962.
  •  Lyndon Johnson lost a special election for the Senate in 1941.

God has another seed for you

He Has another
Seed for You
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"...For God has appointed another seed for me..."
(Genesis 4:25, NKJV)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
In Genesis, Eve went through a great disappointment. Her son Cain killed her son Able, the first murder in the Bible. I'm sure Eve, like any mother, was devastated and heartbroken at the passing of her son. But I love what Eve said in Genesis 4:25, "God has appointed another seed for me." In essence, she was saying, "I don't understand it. It doesn't make sense, but I trust God. This is not the end. He has appointed another seed."
Friend, when you go through things that you don't understand, it is not the end. Nothing is lost in the kingdom. God is going to appoint another seed, and that seed represents the future. It indicates what is coming. If you will let go of what didn't work out, let go of the hurts and pains, then for everything you've lost, God will appoint another seed. You'll give birth to more in the future than you lost in the past. Keep praying, keep believing, keep hoping because God is for you. Trust Him and embrace the good things He has in store for your future!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, You are the giver of all life! You give life to my dreams, life to my relationships, and life to my mortal body. Today I choose to release the past and embrace the gift of life You have in store for my future in Jesus' name. Amen.

Letting Go, Keep mind stayed on God

Letting Go
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead"
(Philippians 3:13, NKJV)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
We all go through disappointments, setbacks and things that we don't understand. Maybe you prayed for a loved one, but they didn't get well. Or maybe you worked hard for a promotion, but you didn't get it. You stood in faith for a relationship, but it didn't work out. One of the best things you can do is release it. Let it go. Don't dwell on it anymore. If you go around wondering why things didn't work out, all that's going to do is lead to bitterness, resentment and self-pity. Before long, you'll be blaming others, blaming yourself, or even God. You may not have understood what happened. It may not have been fair. But when you release it, it's an act of your faith. You're saying, "God, I trust You. I know You're in control. And even though it didn't work out my way, You said, 'All things are going to work together for my good.' So I believe You still have something good in my future."
There is power in letting go of the past and the frustration of trying to figure everything out. When you release your questions, you are saying, "God, You are in control. I trust You." And when you put your hope in God, that's when He can heal your heart and lead you forward into His path of blessing.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, I come to you in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Help me to forgive and release the past. Heal my heart and restore my soul. Show me the good plan You have for my future as I keep my mind stayed on You in Jesus' name. Amen.
