God is everywhere at all times, but as humans we can get caught up in life and "forget" so to speak. When I open my bible, I like to read the first thing that I turn to before I begin my reading plan and last night as I started to read, I had a "wow" moment.
In the middle of watching Ladder 49, with John Travolta for the first time, I was so engrossed in the movie and then it occurred to me that I hadn't read the four chapters that I committed myself to as one of my resolutions. I opened my NIV to a devotional titled "Fire Control."
In short it said, "James pointed out that believers often engage in gossip, slander and backbiting. While working to build up the body of Christ with their actions, their tongues can insidiously cause fires through the church." (I say outside the Church as well)
It goes on to say that rather than using your words as combustible fodder, why not choose words that are fire resistant? Here are 12 words to quench a hot situation: Please, Thank you, I'm sorry, I love you, and I'm praying for you.
So on this day I would like to say Please remember to help someone in need. Thank you for supporting my blog. I'm sorry if I've ever written anything that may have offended you. I love you as Christ loves us and I am "always praying for you!
love, peace and blessings for a Great Day!
