Whom do you confide in?
Proverbs
11: 13 “Those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.”
If I need
help with a problem in my personal life I normally speak to my husband or my
kids. What I have realized is that not everyone is trustworthy. The person I always confide in is my husband
when it concerns my personal problems.
When it is
about my faith I speak to my daughter as we are both on the same page and I
feel comfortable sharing with her. In general my confidence is in my own
family, I rarely trust other people.
My problem
is that in the past people have disappointed me and because of their actions I
actually do not confide in close friends. Some people talk too much and I have
noticed they speak out.
I have
noticed that most people won’t back a loser. Trusting in God is the only way
forward in my case. I feel I cannot go wrong.
Prayer
Lord thank
You, for teaching us through Your word. We know that You are always available
for us. Bless our lives today in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Why do kids tell lies?
Proverbs 14: 5 An honest witness does not
deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.
Why do kids tell lies? I
believe kids tell lies to try and hide a mistake or to avoid being held
responsible for something. I have heard that it is normal for kids to lie.
The reason kids lie could be
because they are still very young and live in a fantasy world. They may tell a
lie to impress you.
The other reason for telling
lies is that they see you doing it. You know "monkey see monkey
do." Look at this example for
instance: Mom asks dad: How do these jeans fit? Dad will say: Fine and walk
away. It seems socially acceptable to tell a "white lie" to avoid an
uncomfortable situation.
Your kids are watching you and
they copy what you teach them. To prevent this kind of lying you always need to
check yourself.
Kids also using lying to test
you, to see how you react. I believe in honesty is the best policy.
Parents teach your kids to
speak the truth.
Prayer
Lord please help us as parents
to teach our kids to speak the truth. Kids are constantly listening and
watching us. Holy Spirit help us to set the example for our kids, in Jesus
Christ's name, Amen.

I want to walk victoriously into my future
Proverbs
14: 12 NIV “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to
death.”
Ever notice
how people react when they are hurting.
Nothing you say can console them at that point in their lives and they
lash out against you. The folks closest
to you are normally the ones that bear the brunt of your anger and pain. In these moments it is difficult even to
speak to God, you feel abandoned and alone, you cannot focus on anything but
what you are dealing with right now.
I believe
now is the time to turn to God, speak openly about what is going on in your
life. No one around you is in a position
to help you. The only person you can
trust in is God, turning to Him makes all the sense in this world.
The person
who hurt you to such an extent that you cannot move forward or backwards is
unaware of the pain they inflicted on you.
They just carry on and here you are still crying. The best thing you could do for yourself is
to forgive them. Set them free, speak to
God about the problem and start moving into a victorious future.
The thing
about not forgiving is that it holds you down and it holds you back, there is
no progress in your life. You cannot
move forward into your future.
Prayer
Lord today
I speak about not forgiven I have been carrying around in my own
heart. Please forgive me, I forgive the
person who hurt me. I set them free
asking that You will forgive them too.
Today I want to walk victoriously into my future, the one You have
ordained for me. I ask this in the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
Hello World, Yvette's Inspiration at 12 GMT +2 today
Good
Morning
Hello
World, Yvette’s Inspirations today at 12 GMT +2. Come and join me today and listen to my thoughts
and inspirations.
I am on the
quest of finding out what my purpose is in life and am looking at Stormie’s
book on a praying woman. Something I am
worried about is “discovering my God-given assignment.”
Have you
discovered your God-given Assignment? I
am listening and waiting on the Lord for guidance on my own life’s assignment.
Thank You
God Bless
you today
Today's Golden Rule
Proverbs
16: 32 ESV “Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he who rules
his spirit than he who takes a city.”
Proverbs
19: 11 ESV “Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook
an offense.”
Proverbs
14: 17 ESV “A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is
hated.”
James 1: 19
ESV Hearing and Doing the Word “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every
person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”
The art of
listening is something each person should learn. We are reminded that God spoke to us a very
long time ago about this very important factor.
In Proverbs we are reminded that we should be slow to anger and watch
our tempers.
James in
the New Testament also reminds us that we should “be quick to hear, slow to
speak and slow to being angry.” I know
live in the real world and people are fickle and can make one so angry. This where the Golden Rule of life will come
into play, we should watch our words and guard our hearts. Let’s not take everything literally and let’s
be patient with people. You know they
might be facing some difficulties and not always thinking. People under pressure become reactive and rarely
listen.
I don’t know
if this will apply in your life but for today apply this one “golden rule.”
Prayer
Lord as we
meditate and think on Your Word today please help us to be quick to listen and
slow to becoming angry and slow to speaking out. We struggle with our ego’s and we allow our
flesh to rise up and control our lives.
Forgive us for being so egotistical as we repent today asking for the
Holy Spirits help in our own lives. We
ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
