Affirmation of God: I prepare my heart for God.

Ridiculous, that is what the word of God is some days. Today is one of them. God has a really good sense of humor and loves to remind us who is in control.

Affirmation of God: I can provide comfort to others because of the comfort I have received from God.

Don’t you love it when you find a scripture that says something you just can not verbalize?

Affirmation of God: I will run the race God has set before me with perseverance.

The course has been laid out and marked. It’s race day are we ready? Of course we are as we just face it with an expectation of endurance and perseverance.

Affirmation of God: My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.

And Job said:  "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” (Job 42:5) NIV  Job is saying this to GOD. Yes, I had heard OF you BUT NOW I have seen you. The light bulb has gone off; the blinders have been taken away.  Bear with me for a second but I beg to ask you can it be this SIMPLE to see God? Yes, so many of us say we don’t see or ...
