Seek Nourishment ...

for your spirit as the days grow darker yet.

When the days are busy, loud, and not encouraging ... let go of this non-nutritional worldly life. There is nothing in this world that will feed your spirit, heart, soul or mind. Only time spent with the Creator of ALL THINGS will bring you love, comfort, healing, and give you nourishment to grow.

Look at each day Step-By-Step or else it will become overwhelming and discouraging. We are to lift our eyes to the hills where our help comes from. If you don't know how to simplify your life into what God wants it to be ... ASK HIM! If you are truly sincere in wanting to follow His Plan for your life, you have to ask and BE WILLING to do what you hear Him tell you. Don't be like the rich young man that wanted to enter the kingdom of Heaven, but upon learning he had to sell all and give to the poor, he turned back. He was NOT WILLING - his worldly treasures were his priorities -- to his thinking the cost was too high. [Matthew 19:16–30, Mark 10:17–31 and Luke 18:18–30].

Letting go of what your flesh wants, every day, while seeking God and His Will ... this is the only way to be content in this life. [Philippians 4:12]. We can fill our days up with so much, that in the end doesn't matter, that when we see a real need and higher purpose for our lives and time ... we get discouraged and think we just cannot do it. That is a lie from the pits of Hell. Satan would like nothing better than to steal your joy, rob you of your peace, and pour defeatism into you!

Don't give in to that! When you put on your armor, why are you told to take up the Shield of Faith??? -- To QUENCH the fiery darts of the wicked -- what are those things? Anything that attacks, tries to slip in under your guard, brings despair and despondency, obscures your vision so you cannot see anything but darkness surrounding you. SEE and HEAR the TRUTH: You have access to eyes to see, ears to hear, [Matthew 13:15-17].

Come to the Table by Sidewalk Prophets

Truly there is NOTHING in this WORLD that holds a candle to what God has planned for you for ETERNITY!

Money ...

a topic that can so easily cause strife and division in this world! Christians and non-christians are both susceptible if Money is their god-of-choice.

Hebrews 13:5-6 
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Let us look a little deeper at the topic of 'money'.
-- The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself. 
-- You cannot get to Heaven by your own works, or your own wealth.
-- Looking at your budget and bank statement: what do you see?
      Are you looking at material things or at God?

Money is morally NEUTRAL

1 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
It is our attitude towards money that gets us into trouble. I have heard it said that money, itself, is morally neutral. 

Luke 18:24-25
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
God's grace is sufficient but, for many people, a stumbling block to this is when they think their WEALTH can get them to Heaven.

The wallet is a great window to the soul.

Luke 12:34
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Quote: So often that verse is misquoted backward, but the meaning is still mostly the same. It’s telling us that when we look at our budget and our bank statement, we can see where our heart is. So is the large percentage of our money going toward earthly matters, or is it going to fulfill God’s purposes for it? Our spending (or saving or giving) are all good indicators of whether we’re giving our hearts to God or to material things. End Quote
