Deal wisely

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.
Matthew 10:15-17 (NKJV)


It is now politically incorrect to even affirm and profess your faith in the modern world media. You make a lot uncomfortable and come across as hostile. You must remember that you are the salt of the world, you are the light of the world, created with a specific purpose for influence. We can not be overcome or dominated by the environment we are supposed to influence and be agents of change for.

7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,“The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,” 8 and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
1 Peter 2:7-9 (NKJV)


The Rock is available for strength, use it to your advantage and Kingdom influence. Engage and deal wisely with your world.

Be encouraged,

Be Encouraged

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)


Let's face it. we all come and go through seasons of uncertainty, weakness and fear. The arms of flesh and all we own don't match up to the challenge and seasons we are faced with. Some contemplate all sort of destructive options, but to them that believe, there is assurance, there is a promise, there is a righteous right hand to help and uphold in our downtime season.

Take fear out, neither give place to dismay, but receive strength, help and a sure 'right hand' for support through your seasons. He will never fail or forsake you.

Be encouraged,
