Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. -Proverbs 13:18


Good morning and God bless. The importance of humility can never be overstated, whereas pride never understated. 


Be prayerful, remain teachable and humble. On this past Tuesday I celebrated 38 years of Federal service, though celebrated is not the right word in terms of the ceremonial affairs many would hold (lol). God gets the glory as if He hadn’t kept me, I’d been long ago a memory. 


My celebration (sic) was not hampered the pandemic’s effect as previous milestones have had as much fanfare. The only fanfare was sharing of old posts from FB. 


I have on occasion been asked for the secret which I answer back with, “what secret?” But what I do share is always remain humble and above all continue to grow, never be above saying, I don’t know or asking how does that work and if you are like, me ask more than once. 


Those things are important and reflect a teachable spirit. In this day we all must be prayerful and teachable. The essence of prayer is being able to ask and receive, speak and be spoken too. 


The results of not being teachable is as stated above, blessings will retreat, but you will not be lonely because you will have two constant and loyal friends, poverty and shame will keep you company. 


Listen more, talk less.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
