The Paths of the Lord are the Guidelines of Life

-Psalms 25:8 "Good and upright is the Lord therefore he teaches sinners in the way."
-Psalms 25:10 "All the paths of the lord are mercy and truth , To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
-Psalms 25:9 " The humble he guides in justice, and the humble he teaches his way.

The Lords paths are like truth , mercy , justice, and many more character traits in theirselves. Many times I fall short and stray from the righteous paths of the Lord, but because he is such a merciful God I find my way back on. I thank the Lord so much for providing me with his paths as guidelines to keep me on the right track and follow his ways all the days of my life. I hope this encourages you. Have a wonderful, blessed week . In Christ , Tory

Looking over Gods Mercies

Psalms 136:4 "To him alone does great wonders, For his mercy endures forever ;

I was reading Psalms 136 and just realizing that there are so many trials that God has delivered us from. There is so much mercy that he has given us. I thank God for all he has done , he has blessed our world with so much. There is so much he is doing for us even now. Sometimes I dont realize all that I have and instead I think about all I dont have. Then I remember I should be thanking God for what he has blessed me with I hope this encourages you and I hope you have a blessed day !

Honoring Thy Father and Thy Mother

Matt 15:4 "For God commanded saying, 'Honor your Father and your Mother',and, He who curses Father or Mother , Let him be put to death."

Recently I have been praying alot about how I honor my Mother. Sometimes I may not agree with her and I disrespectful and not honoring to her. I have been asking God to change my heart, because I know this is not how he wills for his children to treat there parents. I am working really hard to respect and honor my Mom in everyway , whether asked me to or whether I just take Initiative. My Mom just had a birthday yesterday and we had fun . Her cake was a pumpkin cheesecake.It was really good. I am so thankful to God that he blessed me with a Mom like her. I hope this encourages you. Have a blessed day !

Gaining Wisdom brings Success

Ecclesiastes 10:10

" If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge , the he must use more strenghth : But wisdom brings success."

I am in school right now, and recently I became discouraged because I had to leave school for a week. I have felt really restless and like I had so much to catch up on, in school. I missed alot of assignments and I felt like I was gonna fail, and it was to late catch up.
Phillipians 4:6 " Be careful for nothing : but in everything by prayer and supplication without thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say to you, Do not worry about your life, ..."

This verse basically says dont worry. After I realized I had nothing to worry about I prayed that god would show me all I needed to know and lead me in the right direction. After this God showed me wisdom which was "I could do all thing through christ which strenghthen me" (phillipians 4:12). So I took my work step-by-step and I finished it.I really hope this encourages you. God has wisdom and every time I read his word I feel more successful !
