Blessed is the man who perseveres under trail, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."

GOD'S PROMISES - COVERED

It is amazing when we realize that God has us covered even when we don't realize we need covering.

I recently rented a car, trying to be more cost effective, I decided to use my own Sunpass as opposed to using the rental companies etoll services.

Well to my surprise, a week after my trip the rental car company charge the amount of the tolls to my credit card. 

At first I was livid thinking there was some type of fraud happening. Once I calmed down and did some research I realized that for some reason the tolls never hit my Sunpass so the charges were actually correct. I had already loaded enough money on my credit card to cover some other possible purchases and by doing so it allowed my card to not decline or go over the limit due to the etoll charges.

Isn't God good! He had me covered even when I didn't realize I needed it.

With all the bad things happening in the world today it is easy to become fearful of living life and doing everyday things.

"You want to go shopping at the mall. You send your kids to school to get a good education. Your older children are going to parties and nightclubs. You and your family are going to concerts and festivals."

These are all things that we do in our everyday life but every time you turn around you hear instances of mass destruction happening to people while engaging in these normal activities.

One thing we cannot do is give into fear. Fear will have you tied up in knots and not ever wanting to leave your house. It will also make you not want your kids to grow older and participate in normal life activities.

GOD'S PROMISES - NO MATTER HOW SMALL

God can guide you in the right direction when making decisions in your life no matter how big or how small.

I went shopping the other day and saw a pair of tennis shoes that I wanted to buy. When I found my size and opened the box I realized that they were not the charcoal gray color that I was looking for but they were light gray. They were on sale so I tried them on anyway deciding whether or not to buy them. 

I really wanted the charcoal gray color so I decided to take one last look to see if they were there and just maybe I had overlooked them. To my surprise they had the charcoal gray in my size. 

Once I tried them on I wasn't sure which color to buy.  At first glance I liked the charcoal gray but once they were on my feet the light gray were different and more appealing. 

I wasn't sure which to buy and after some thinking decided to go with the light gray. Once I got home and looked in my closet I realized that I had a light gray shirt that matched the shoes I just bought!

I was so surprised and thankful at how God directed me to buy the right color shoes without me even realizing that He was helping me make the right choice!

Isn't God great!  If He can do something so small, imagine how He will handle the big decisions in your life!

GOD'S PROMISES - REACTIONS

Things happen as you go about your day that cause you to have many different reactions. 

Someone cuts you off in traffic, you blow the horn and even though it may not be right, you may make an obscene gesture. 

You are out shopping, someone has a disagreement with the cashier and won't let it go and it is holding up the line and you make a comment to that person to hurry up and let it go so others can pay and move on with their day.

These are just a few examples of everyday situations and though your reaction is harmless, the other person's reaction can be harmful or even at times deadly.

The person you blew your horn at, tries to hit your car and run you off the road. In an extreme case, the person pulls out a gun and shoots at you and the car. 

The person in the store holding up the line turns around and hits you because of your comment. In an extreme case, the person follows you out the store and shoots you dead.

You have to remember that there are some crazy people in this world and even though your reaction to the circumstance was normal and harmless; you have no way of knowing whether or not the other persons reaction will cause you unnecessary harm or even death.

Ask God to help control your reactions to the things that are happening around you in your everyday life so that you can remain safe at all time.

GOD'S PROMISES - DECISIONS

It's not always easy to make the right decisions for your life. Maybe you have been praying for a companion for a long time. You meet someone that is not exactly what you are normally attracted but you exchange numbers anyway, if for nothing more than to be friends.

You are not sure, under the circumstances, if you made the right decision. Pray and ask God to help you make the right decision.

Is this someone that can be just a good friend that can help you with some of the lonely times that you experience? Even though this person does not have the looks of someone you would normally date, could this be someone that you fall in love with because of their personality? After all looks aren't everything.

God will always help you to make the right decision in your life no matter how big or small.

What you don't know is the significant other is using you to take them to do some illegal activities. You don't find this out until days afterward and you swear you will never do this again because had you known the full story you would not have given the ride to your friend's significant other.
