THINK BEFORE YOU ACT

    Think First

    by Joyce Meyer - posted June 09, 2014

    You ought to be quiet (keep yourselves in check) and to do nothing rashly.
    —Acts 19:36
    Committing to do something without asking God about it and waiting for Him to speak to us is not wise; nor is it wise to jump into things without thinking first about what we are getting ready to do. We often obligate ourselves to too many things and end up weary and worn out. God certainly strengthens us through His Spirit, but He doesn’t strengthen us to do things that are outside of His will for us. He won’t strengthen us to be foolish! Once we commit to do something, God expects us to keep our word and be people of integrity, so His advice to us in the verse for today is to “think before we speak.” In our thinking, we ought to ask God what He thinks about the matter we have under consideration.
    This is certainly a lesson I have had to learn. I used to allow enthusiasm to get the best of me and say yes to things without asking for God’s advice and then end up complaining about my schedule. God had to let me know that if I had sought Him first and followed His guidance, I could have avoided being frustrated and stressed. I am sure you have many opportunities to get involved in things you would enjoy or consider important. I simply encourage you today not to commit to anything without giving it serious thought and without seeking God’s guidance concerning whether or not He would have you do these things.
    God’s word for you today: Think before you speak!

THE SORBET FACE ELECTRIC BRUSH

The  sorbet rechargeable cleanser  removes dirt from pores much more effectively and gently than that of normal cleansing. The fine exfoliating bristles ensure deeper cleansing and gently remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more youthful looking skin. This ensures that subsequent face creams or serums are also absorbed better into the skin. The cleanser is fully water-resistant which makes it safe to use and store in the bathroom.  It comes with 3 different heads (a daily cleansing brush, the exfoliating brush (with fine tapered bristles) and a silicone brush head for extra delicate skin).  I have found that I tend to use the daily cleansing brush every evening after doing a pre-cleanse to remove the bulk of my makeup and then I use the silicone brush head in the morning.  I use the exfoliating once a week. I love that the cleanser comes with a USB charger which makes it easy enough to charge – no need to worry about batteries.  A single charge will also last y

YOU GIVE ME JOY

Image
Lately, God has been teaching me to humble myself under his almighty wings. He is God, he is my creator, and he knows me inside out. He knows my thoughts, my needs and my heart desires. What an amazing God I serve, no body like him.  BAD HAIR DAY...STILL SAVED BY GRACE When I consider his love for me, it leads me to desire to walk in his ways, to live by faith and not by sight. In God I found my being. Ladies, know your worth. Discover who you are, your identity. When we lack identity, we seek opportunity to show others who we are. This leads us to become narcissistic and wish for people to approve us. That’s why at the end of the day, we exalt our self, and we promote ourselves and live to please other people. We become so obsessed with filtering our pictures, posting every move we make, designer bags, expensive dresses whist on the inside we are empty. Get me right, there is nothing wrong with buying expensive items and all of that. Do it for you and not for the next

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Problems sharpens us. Problems brings us closer to God. The more a pencil is sharpened, the more it works wonders. Don’t worry when life turns differently, stand more, fast more, pray more, read the bible more and love others more. Though pain may come in the evening, joy comes in the morning. Remain positioned in the Lord, even if seems like he failed to save you. Let him be his your Lord and personal savior. Don’t compare yourself with your neighbor. Let your care be your care and theirs be. No matter what you are going through just know that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Your life is in the hands of the potter. His thoughts, plans and ideas are not like ours. U can’t be better than God. Know your fate. Don’t live your life empty spirited. Open your heart and let Jesus come into your life. I encourage you to turn to God. May your worship not be dictated by your situation.  He is God in and out of every situation.You are not alone. You can overcome that depression, t
