A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Grace To You! "

Good Morning Everyone,
 
James 4: 6-7: But He gives more Grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives Grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God, Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Proverbs 3: 34- Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives Grace to the humble.
 
Let’s Get our week started ! Are you dealing with someone at your work station filled with pride, selfishness and self-centered ambition?.... Do you feel you are watching the news on television while you are at work? .. Self-centeredness is the essence of worldliness, But! Humility Cures Worldliness...Selah.
 
Those who submit to divine wisdom will receive the necessary Grace from God to put into practice the kind of life James is describing in our scripture. On the other hand, those who elevate themselves will face a formidable foe.... God Himself will fight against their plans because they are not on His side.... There is no benefit in feeling envy for the wicked, because God detests wickedness. Only a fool would wish to be detestable to God! Selah.
 
God will bless the righteous and His curse is on the wicked. How do we do this? ? ? First, we must submit to God by abandoning our selfish pride. Submitting to the Lord involves putting on the whole armor of God, an image that includes everything from placing our faith in Him to immersing ourselves in the Truth of God’s Word.(Eph. 6: 11-18)
 
Second, we must resist any temptation that the devil throws our way. Then the evil one will have no choice but to flee, for we will belong to the army of the Living God.... God Bless.
 
Holy One, who has bound us together in this bundle of life, give us Grace to understand how our lives depend on the courage, the industry, the honesty and integrity of our colleagues so that we may be mindful of their needs, grateful for their faithfulness, and we may be faithful in our responsibilities to them.
 
Father, in the name of Jesus we pray for a spirit of humility in our work place; that we renounce strife and any rebellion and submit to your will. Lord, there is nothing too small or great for You. Let us not rest content nor be satisfied with small plans and aspirations this day and everyday.
 
Father, inspire us to master the mechanisms through which Your Will may issue into action. Holy One, enable us with quick perception and clear decision; and let us never neglect to watch for the small things that make us feel dry and dull. Father, help us avoid the things which make or mar Your Great Purpose in Jesus name we pray and give You praise... Amen... Amen.
“Keeping You Close In Thoughts & Prayers"
~God Bless You~
