Three Essentials (5/9/12)

Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory to God! Thanks for all yallz prayers and concern. Today I had lots of discomfort in my eyes, but not nearly as bad as when the shock first hit my them. Unfortunately, still no word from my instructor about the fate of my grade, but it's in God's hand. For those who don't know, Monday was my last day for my Statistics and Measurements course, and my stint in ER hindered me from submitting my final assignment. That course overall was crucial, so I didn't do as well as I would've liked in the first place, thus, a zero on my final paper could result in a "C," which is not a passing grade in graduate school. But again, God's got this, so I'm over the worry. On another note, please pray for my friend LaRon and his family as they mourn the loss of a loved one, thanks in advance. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity, God Bless!
 
Passage James 3:5-8 (NLT):
"In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison."

Yesterday we covered, that in order to hear the Lord, we must feed our mind, body, and soul with the word of God, making sure we do NOT allow His word to depart from before our eyes; God's Word promotes life, health, and healing to all of our flesh, so we should accept His sustenance. Proverbs 3:19-20 says, "By wisdom the Lord founded the earth; by understanding he created the heavens. By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the dew settles beneath the night sky." To further support yesterday's lesson, we see in this passage the significance of wisdomunderstanding, and knowledge. These three are essential to our prosperity, as the trinity is critical to our spirituality. Without the wisdom of God (established in His word), we lack true understanding of life's purpose (to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God; You were born by His purpose and for His purpose ~Rick Warren~), and without wisdom and understanding, it is impossible for you to attain knowledge. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10 ~KJV).

Prayer of the Day:
Lord God we come to you, thanking you for another day of life. We thank you for the wisdom, knowledge, and the peace that passeth all understanding. We thank you for your continued guidance and revelation of your will. We thank you for removing the covers that once shaded certain areas in our lives. Father God we thank you now for blessing LaRon and other grieving family and friends with comfort and strength in the time of their bereavement. Lord we thank you for providing Tylesha's eyes with a speedy and complete recovery, and relief from discomfort in the meantime. We also thank you for blessing Tylesha with a passing grade for her last course, despite her inability to submit her last assignment. We thank you for the ability in our words to reverse the negativity that we previously spoke into our lives, for the authority to speak life into every situation, and to claim healing in your name Father. Lord we thank you for unity in our homes, peace in our heart, clarity in our mind, and restoration in our total body. We thank you for filling us with your Spirit, that our tongue is now tamed, praying and speaking nothing into existence that is contrary to your Word, Hallelujah! We thank you for the ability to live each day with a new attitude and new gratitude toward a life lived according to your will. This is our affirmation of faith, submitted to you in the name of Jesus Christ, and thanking you now for the victory, Amen!
