The Woman Who Fears the Lord
The Woman Who Fears the Lord
10 [4] An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.
14 She is like the ships of the merchant;
she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She dresses herself [5] with strength
and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet. [6]
22 She makes bed coverings for herself;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them;
she delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
“Wow aint this the truth”
“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20).
“Enough Already!”
Enough already
If you always wish for more, you will never know the peace and satisfaction of having enough. Realizing that you already have enough is one of the most profoundly empowering thoughts you can think.
Fully enjoying the first piece of cake does not prevent you from having a second. Yet obsessing over whether or not you’ll get another piece will always prevent you from enjoying what you have.
It’s great to be ambitious and to create new value. Yet that is best done from the position of power that comes with having enough.
Being satisfied does not mean you must be complacent. Being satisfied enables you to draw strength from your desires instead of letting them enslave you.
Discipline, integrity, commitment and effectiveness flow naturally from a strong sense of having enough. When you’re truly accepting of where you are, your eyes are fully open to the best possibilities.
Understand that you already have enough. And you’ll tap into the power of peaceful purpose.
– Ralph Marston

Excerpts from”The Road Less Travelled”
Taking from “Love is Disciplined chapter”talking about we must criticize the ones we love if we care…
” To confront someone with something he or she cannot handle will at best be a waste of time, and likely will have a deleterious effect. If we want to be heard we must speak the language the listener can understand and on a level at which the listener is capable of operating.If we are to love we must extend ourselves to adjust our communication to the capacties of our beloved.
The Road Less Travelled M. Scott Peck, M.D
Words from a Living Legend
“The real anti American is a person rooted in evil that thinks he hasn’t been seen by the God of justice“- Minister Louis Farrakan
” Seeking the Kingdom of God”
Matthew 6:33-34
“But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own”
Those that love the Kingdom will be successful.
When God Blesses you, it is for the purpose pf being a blessing for others.
Prosperity is at its lowest point when it only serves self.
The world has its own system and way of thinking. We are all born into this world, but dont have to be “of ” the world. When your whole world is about the Kingdom of God then that is when you will receive blessings. Dont desire to be a millionaire to live comfortable. Desire to be a millionare so you can be a blessing to the Kingdom, and in return you will be a blessing to others. You can not just want an increase for selfish reasons. Like Michelle got a Gucci purse so I want a Gucci purse. Or Mike got a Benz so I want a Benz too. The greatest purpose to receive a blessing is to be a blessing to others.
Seek the good of the Kingdom . If you have the desire to promote the Kingdom, then you will see promotion in your life.
1. Align your life witth the Kingdom and in return you will be given Peace and Prosperity( if you dont you will always be constantly worrying and having no peace)
2. God is blessing you because he knows you will use it to increase the Kingdom , He knows you aren’t wanting a blessing so you can go by the latest $3000k shoes that you saw one of Puffy’s baby mothers wearing……(Truth hurts dont it)
Bottom Line
Put the Kingdom first and everything else will be taken care of( bills, house note, school loans, that good man or woman that you have been looking for, peace, prosperity, etc)
You can’t maintain selfishness and expect God to give you Blessings!
This is my interpretation of the words of Creflo Dollar

“Word of the Day”
Hebrews 12:7-13 (New International Version)
7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! 10Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13“Make level paths for your feet,”[a] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
Thanks Willard

“For of those to whom much is given, much is required”
Bible (Luke 12:48)
“Inspiration Vitamin”
Psalm 23
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
God will bless us in front of our enemies. Why?
He wants to show the world how he can bless people. God prepares a table for us in front of our enemies. He does this not to make our enemies jealous, but to get more people to serve him. Also he wants you to Thank your enemies for making you into the God- fearing person that you are today.
Sometimes you do not know what you have in you , until you are forced to deal with an enemy/hater.
You would have not reached certain places or level or mindset, without the aid of your enemies, driving you to pray and or teach you patience.
What doesnt kill you, will only make you stronger.
****Some people in your life are not critical to your destiny****
Be careful who you rub heads with. Someone without the mind of Christ might infleunce you (devil)
Know that you were born with annoitment!
Find what you were annoited to do!
Dont sit around waiting for someone or something! God created you to spread your annoitment
Show an image of gratitude!
Gratitude is a way of looking at the world.
Have an attitude of Gratitude!
Life is about giving.
Are you giving?
Always remember. Yes life is difficult, but it could be way worse. ( Dale Bronner)
