Gifts Make Room

Proverbs 18:16 says, "a man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great."

Don't think your gifts won't position you around great people and wonderful places, because you read that scripture yourself -- they will indeed. All you have to do is continue to work on your gifts and the flood gates will eventually open. We have to use them or we will lose them. Why do you think God blesses people to do different things? That's right, even if two people play the same exact position in a sport, they will never play exactly the same, because they have different gifts -- they are different people. No two people are alike. God doesn't make copycats, so there is no reason for us to think we don't bring anything unique and special to the table. We absolutely do, because we possess the God-given gifts that He's blessed us with. Don't think that anyone will do anything better than you, because that's impossible. You're you and nobody does it better than you. So yes, God will ensure your gifts will part the Red Sea in order to get you to the right place. There is no need to worry about that. Just continue to stay in your lane and keep your head to the grindstone. Then there will be much room for you and anybody else who has faith in the Lord God. None of us can do it without Him, it doesn't matter how gifted we are. That's very important to remember.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In   Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours"  and   Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
