All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 New Life Version (NLT)
This blog is my way to share words inspired by God and trains us to be righteous.

There are times in our life where we feel like we are sinking. This reminds me of a parable Jesus told about the two houses. Don't place your hope into the things of this world or the sand. That's when you start to sink. We need to build our faith, our trust and believe in our rock, Jesus. When those storms come, we will still be standing because we built our life on the rock.
Matthew 7:24-27 New International Version (NIV)
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
Have you ever felt like you can't go on? And things just don't make sense? Why do bad things happen to good people? You know God is always good, and not a respecters of person. He is good to all. He is good to the person that believes in him, and he is good to those who don't believe in him. But there are times in life that seem too hard, and we wonder, "Where is God?" Well, rest in this promise he made in 1 Corinthians 10:13. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. You might be going through something, but God is with you all the way. He will guide you and provide you with a way out. But there is a catch. You got to follow him to find the way out. If you are an addict, God will provide a way for you to stop (supporti...
Ecclesiastes 3 Verse 11-13 11 He has set the right time for everything. He has given us a desire to know the future, but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does. 12 So I realized that all we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive. 13 All of us should eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for. It is God's gift. I have learn to be content with what I have and what God has planned for me. It is very hard to be patient when you know what you want, when you know the desires of your heart, when you know your purpose. It's hard to be wait for God's timing when you are meant to do greater things. For instance, I am 38 years old. I've had a career for 15 years now. I've changed jobs 4 times, and I'm still not satisfied with my function in life. God has put desires in my heart. Desires only he can fill. I've been trying to find my purpose in my job as a te...
Do you ever feel like you should be doing something else or more? There are times when I have that tug on my heart to be doing something else. Now don't get me wrong, I love what I do. I like where I work, but there is still something missing. I invest so much into my work including my time, my talents, my energy and sacrifice. My work almost becomes my identity. And reality is that I put more into my work than I do for God. Wow, did you hear that? Americans spend most of our time either working or sleeping. I think I'm starting to understand why I'm so restless. Maybe it's because I'm not doing what Jesus said to do in Luke 10:27 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind '; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself." The key is to love him with ALL my strength and mind. I can't give him whatever I left over after I worked 8 hours a...
