Plot Your Course
Posted by: | CommentsI get amazed when I watch the Billiards tournaments on ESPN. The pool pros who compete for the title have one of the best strategies for winning. They aren’t just hitting the balls in the pockets, they have the awesome ability to hit the cue ball in such away to set up the next shot.
But what about you, are you just “hitting the balls” in life? Are you hopelessly aiming at the targets accepting whatever outcome you get? Or are you planning your steps ahead of time?

We can definitely learn from the strategies of the pool pros. Rather than randomly going about life without a game plan, we should plan our actions ahead of time and in a well thought out manner.
A wise man once said, “if you fail to plan then you plan to fail.” I couldn’t agree any more. Realize that there should be a method to your madness.

Don’t Forget to Pray That Prayer
Posted by: | CommentsI say it all the time, when you pray all you’re doing is having a conversation to God. Know that you don’t have to be on bended knees or lying prostrate before God just to be in a moment of prayer.
You can be praying as you walk out the door in the morning. You can pray before the big test at school. You can go forth in prayer before that job interview. Even on that morning run you can offer up a word of prayer.
In fact, that’s the good thing about God – He meets you right where you are. He isn’t inconvenient. He’s not selfish with His time. No, He hears every thought you think, when you think them. And He even knows your heart!

You see God delights when you call on His name. The scripture says that He’s a jealous God. All He wants is for you to acknowledge Him. Always remember where your blessings come from.
You don’t have to know every scripture in the bible, or have the so called “prayer lingo” that your local minister or pastor has. No, God understands every word you say. He even knows your thoughts before you even think them.
The scripture says, The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. He hears your earnest prayer and He’ll respond to them.
You may be in traffic on the way to work. But just take a moment and focus your thoughts on Him. Simply thank Him for waking you up. Pray that He surrounds you all day with His loving-kindness and tender mercies. Pray that He grants you favor. Ask Him Read More→
