Good Morning Everyone

Today is Monday May 7, 2012

The word of the day comes from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."

My interpretation

There is a time for everything!  At any given time anything can happen. Sometimes things happen in our lives that we wish would not have happened whether it be that we lost a job, lost a loved one, loss of a friendship, had a car accident, or even just an argument with someone. Of course while we are going through these things we think, “This is the worst thing ever, and I’m not sure if I will ever make it out of this”. But what we have to realize is that everything that we go through in our lives all the hardships, happy times, and the experiences that we endure make us stronger and wiser.  The argument that we had with our friend opens our eyes up to different areas about your relationship, the car accident that you got into makes you a more cautious driver, the loss of your loved one gives you a greater appreciation for their lives and the impact they had on you and hopefully will even strengthen you relationship with God.  God allows us to go through things to make us stronger in our lives physically and spiritually. He has a master plan for all of our lives and even though at times we may not like it, we must understand it is necessary.  There is a time and place for everything we cannot control it or prevent it, all we can do is endure and pray.  God can bring us through ANYTHING we just have to have faith!

Have a wonderful, blessed, productive, stress free day!

Word of the Day (7-22-11)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Friday July 22, 2011

The word of the day comes a little different today.

On Wednesday Bishop Charles H. Doom Jr brought up the fact that we are going into vacation month at our church, Southern Baptist Church Praise and Worship Center, here in Washington DC. Right before the cheers started, he got serious and asked the question “how many people have a prayer partner?” The majority of the congregation for bible study didn’t raise their hands. He stated the necessity of having a prayer partner especially knowing that rather than having the normal full week of ministry activities as we would, we will only meet for one service on Sunday at an early schedule. Bishop mentioned that this can become an opening/a doorway for the devil to enter because of all the free time we have (though ministry work should still be taking place) and that he didn’t want the devil to get any access to us so it was imperative that we have a prayer partner (someone we know is walking this Christian walk right and with us so that we can be accountable to).
