Matthew 10:29-31

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.  

Fear not, friends... God is with us... no matter what situation may arise in this incredibly wayward world... God is with us, and he has not forgotten us; nor will he allow you to bear a burden that you cannot handle.  I love how the passage above reminds us of how precious we are in the sight of our Lord.  He knows how many hairs are upon our heads...even the ones that shed! We are so precious to God, our maker and creator. Our value outweighs the beautiful creatures that God created before we (humans) even came to be.  When you feel as if you are alone in this great big pond of many fishes... know that God sees and he knows all.  Don't fret because of other's who may prosper along the journey. Don't fear because of man and his divisive tactics... neither should we take thought for tomorrow...for tomorrow is in God's hands.  Let us stay prayerful, diligent in our own prayer life and actions. Keep your mind stayed upon the Creator, God... for your heavenly father is looking out for you.

#TheKey

#TheKey

Have you ever wondered... what is the key to success?  Is it landing a "Good Government Job"... making six figures...have you arrived when you are given a view of the city from the office?  Is the key to success having a position in which you are the leader of the division, group, team, office, etc?  Have you reached success when others look to you for all of the answers as you sit on your Blackberry or iPhone and answer emails daily? Is it being able to review your resume to find a million bullet points denoting your successes, contributions and experiences? Is it checking your bank statement, reassuring yourself with a smile that you've got your family covered? Is the key to success finding that awesome mentor in the workplace who has vowed to get you to where you've got to go so that they may go ahead and retire, and leave it all to you?


Is it seeing your name in lights?  Seeing your name in print? Seeing your name on a product? Hearing your name over the airwaves/radio waves, seeing yourself on the big screen/ small screen, on a national television program or even on a news story?


Some may agree that all of thee above spell out success.


My question to you is, how do YOU spell success?  As you ponder on today or on this week the things that you have done in life, or the things that you are cooking up now to share with the world...how does your current measure of success add up to what you have told yourself before you began... and is it in line with what God has planned?  Remember God has the key.


I love this passage from Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.


*Note to self: If God be for me, who can be against me? He holds the key to my #success.

#Being

1. Existence

2. The nature or essence of a person

3. A living thing

4. The state of existing

5. The most important or basic part of a person's mind or self

#TheStateOfBeing

Who are you being from day to day? Are you being your authentic self or the "self" that someone else desires for you to be?

At what point in life do we realize our true existence, and our purpose?

Is your state of existence helping or hindering those around you?

When you are gone from this earth, will your "being" have made an impact that causes a legacy to remain? If so, how will others view your legacy, and will it be a positive or negative one?

Think on these things and see if your state of existence is purposeful...if you can't put your finger on your place in this world... it's not too late!

*Note to self... You are important to someone.
