Favor.

                                                                                  Favor. God’s Shield of Favor. Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous, you surround them with your Favor “As With A Shield”.   (Psalms 5:12) God’s Divine Favor acts as a large,   encircling shield, offering security, honor, and blessing to those who Trust in Him. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that God’s Divine Favor is a Blessing for the Righteous. Favor - The Divine Approval, Grace, and tangible evidence of God’s delight and blessings on a person’s life, often acting as supernatural support or protection.   It is viewed as an unearned, underserved kindness-often termed “grace”, that brings special advantages, open doors, and enables accomplishments that cannot be achieved alone.

Ask or Tell?

                                                                             Ask or Tell? God Both Asks us and He Tells us! He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.   And what does the Lord require of you?   To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with you God.   (Micah 6:8) Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.   This is the first and greatest “Commandment”.   And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.   All the Laws and the Prophets hang on these Two Commandments.   (Matthew 22:37-40) God Tells us What to Do &  He Ask us Into A Relationship With Him. Often, when a Christian is espousing the bible, we hear one say, “The Lord Asked Me” to do This or That. ...

You Want to Be Like Jesus?

                                                                   You Want to Be Like Jesus? Then, Prepare to Carry your Cross! And whoever “does not carry their cross” and “follow me” cannot be my disciple.   (Luke 14:27) If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.   If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.   As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I Have Chosen You Out of the World.   That is why the world hate you.   (John 15:18-19). If they Hated Me, they will Hate You!   Are you Working to be Hated or are you Working to be Liked? Our Daily Nugget is revealing to us, “Two Critical Truths”.   1. Kingdom Citizens must “surrender personal desires”.   2.   Be prepared to face suffering, even death, “For The Faith”. Carrying One’s C...

Purpose for Pain.

                                                                                         Purpose for Pain. God has a “Purpose for our Pain”. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because “we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, hope”.   And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s Love has been poured out into our Hearts (Minds) through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.   (Romans 5:3-5) No Pain, no Gain!   We Need to Learn “What Pain Teaches Us”. Our Daily Nugget is explaining to us that “Pain is a Blessing and Not a Curse”. Pain has a Destiny; it takes us to Perseverance, to Character, to Hope and Growth. Biblical Hope is where we need to be! Biblical Hope...

The Destiny of Habits.

                                                                  The Destiny of Habits. Everything has a Destiny, including our Habits.   Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the “Renewing Of Your Mind”.   “THEN” you will be able to test and approve what God’s Will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.   (Romans 12:2)                                                                                  Our Daily Nugget                                             is letting ...

Better Than I Deserve.

                                                                     Better Than I Deserve. This is a Heart/Mind that is Grateful, for God’s Grace. For it is “by grace” you have been saved, through Faith-and this is not from yourselves, “It Is The Gift of God”, not by works, so that no one can boast.   (Ephesians 2:8-9) So now “they will receive the trouble that they Deserve”,   Their own wicked ideas will make them sick.   (Proverbs 8:31) None of us really “Want What We Deserve”; for we all Deserve Death. God’s Grace Leads to a Grateful Spirit. A Pride Filled Spirit leads us to “Get What We Deserve.   If we had a thousand tongues, “We Could Not Thank God Enough”. Deserve - “Meriting” a reward or punishment based on actions (works), often relating to justice, repayment, or being worthy. Grace - ...

Obtain Success!

                                                                          Obtain Success! Everyone Wants to be Successful. Biblical Success or Worldly Success? Keep this Book of the Law “always on your lips”; “mediate on it day and night”, “so that you may be careful to do everything written in it”.   “Then You Will Be Prosperous and Successful”.   (Joshua 1:8) Their Are Only Rewards in Heaven for Biblical Success. When we measure Success in Dollars and Cents, “God Is Not Pleased”! To measure success like the world, is an Open Invitation for the Demonic Spirit of Greed to Control our Thinking Process, our Heart/Mind; therefore, our actions. Our Daily Nugget is informing us that   Success Lies in “Keeping Our Heart/Mind Stayed on the Word”. God is our Partner as we “Pursue Biblical Success”....
