Be wise and choose to work with those who are wise and peace loving.
Read: James 3:17-18
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. 18 And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
Jealousy produces disorder and evil works. Find out where it is coming from and get rid of it quickly.
Read: James 3:16
16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.
We should know to praise God for He has all wisdom and controls world events.
Read: Daniel 2:20-22
20 He said,
“Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for he has all wisdom and power.
21 He controls the course of world events;
he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.
22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.
Constantly work on cleaning up your language. Your conversation describes who you really are.
Read: James 3:7-10
7 People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!
The Lord will never quit nor will He give up on you. Thank Him now.
Read: Pslam 117:1-2
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations.
Praise him, all you people of the earth.
2 For his unfailing love for us is powerful;
the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
People of Faith should let their actions express their Faith.
Read: James 2:14-17
14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
If it is good and if it is perfect there is only one place it could come from. Just accept it!
Read: James 1:16-17
16 So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
Do not be afraid of change. It is a part of life. When a season is over let it go quickly, so you don’t miss an opportunity for a brand new beginning.
Read: Ecclesiastes 3:1-3
For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
2 A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
Stand on what you know and don’t be afraid to defend it!
Read: I Samuel 17:37
37 The Lord who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!”
Saul finally consented. “All right, go ahead,” he said. “And may the Lord be with you!”
I love my dogs. Going through the loss of a pet is never easy, and while nothing can replace one that you’ve lost, having other pets around sure does help lessen the hurt. Blessing is forever in my heart. She was a true joy in my life.
Peace joined our family when she was just 6 weeks old, and she has brought me such happiness! She is all about playtime. It’s been fun to watch her breathe youthful, new life into her older sister, Victory, too. All of my dogs’ names came to me in my spirit. Blessing, well, she was a blessing to me; Peace came to me during a time when I needed peace; and Victory came to me because of her tough, regal personality – but she’s still my teddy bear!
My Rottweiler “teddy bears,” as I call them, are true pack animals; they are warm and so loving. The best thing about owning Rottweilers is their loyalty to you; they just want to be with you and make you smile.
Next year we plan to let Peace have one litter of puppies. I’ve never had a litter with any of my dogs before, so I’m so excited to see how this new adventure will unfold.
