Alabaster Box
I love the woman with the alabaster box. She is a great example of someone who teaches us that not everyone will agree with or understand what you do for God…but to do it anyway.
Too Heavy to Carry
A child’s shoulders were not meant to bear the weight of their parent’s choices… addictions, divorce, fornication, drunkenness to name a few. But it goes further. Bring the wrong people into your life and those children will be scarred for life. For heaven’s sake, pray and guard your children and grandchildren. You may be the only one standing between them and a weight too heavy for them to carry.
Bitter Heart
A heart filled with bitterness and thoughts of revenge will poison your mind…not only that, it will steal your peace and bring nothing but sadness into your life. Whatever you can’t forgive, it’s not worth the pain you are bringing on yourself.
Check your stones
While Goliath was filling the air with fear and intimidation, David quietly chose his stones. Remember that the next time the devil brings fear into your mind. YOU pick up the stones of faith and kick him out!
Know Jesus!
Jesus…it’s better to know Him before you meet Him. Just saying! It only takes a minute to repent of your sins and ask Jesus into your heart. But it will cause an eternity of regret if you don’t.
Don’t Stir the Pot
Sometimes it’s better to let things be. No need to stir the pot. Mary kept things in her heart and pondered on them. I think we need to do more pondering and less stirring!
