And we are instructed to turn from
godless living and sinful pleasures. We
should live in this evil world with wisdom,righteousness, and devotion to God, while
we look forward with hope to thatwonderful day when the glory of our great
God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will berevealed. He gave his life to free us fromevery kind of sin, to cleanse us, and tomake us his very own people, totally
committed to doing good deeds.
Titus 2:12-14 NLT
A life that is set apart for Christ is one tha
is entirely free of the taint of compromise
the approval of man, and the allure of the
world all around us. As we walk that
narrow way, we must remember that the
witness of our lives to the world abroad is
that we are different, NOT just some wha
different, but ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT!
You are uniquely made, destined for
greatness, and have been set apart from
the beginning of time (Jer. 1:5). While the
world around you tries to fit you into the
box of conformity, remember that Godsyearning is for us to break that mold and
be the change!
Be encouraged and BE THE CHANGE!
Run To
Jesus

Run To JesusWe could be enjoying the living water that only Christ can offer, yetwe choose substitutes that are shockingly, disgustingly inferior."
"The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run tohim andare safe." Proverbs 18:10 NLT
Where is your sanctuary?
Where do you go when you're hurting?Who do you run to?
Many times when I am disappointed, hurt, or justplain mad I will run to my phone and call my momto vent. Let's stop here: "Your circle ofassociates will influence the way you think-----good or bad. Surround yourself with wise,godly people!" Pastor Creflo DollarNow,although my mother is my closest friend andalthough I completely trust her.AND although
she is truly a woman of God
AND althoughshe always gives me great, godly advice.sheis not and cannot take the place of Jesus! TheBible tells us that God is our refuge and strength,our help in times of trouble (Ps. 46:1-2) and thatthe name of the Lord is a strong fortress; thegodly run to him and are safe (Pro. 18:10 NLT).These two scriptures tell me who to run to.
"It's easy to forget, and so easy for us to run
in other directions. Where we go says a lot
about who we are. The "higher ground" weseek reveals the geography of our values."Kyle Idleman Many times we try to cast our careonto folks, which leaves us with a temporary fixand a fake sense of peaceespecially if theperson that we run to is just as passionatelyheated up as we are! lol!BUT the truth is, there is no fix outside of Jesu
Christ. There is no true peace or joy outside o
the very presence of God. We have to pursue
peace (Psalm 34:14 NIV). And we must also
settle in our spirits that our peace can only come
from the Prince of peace....not from folks! We als
have to continually seek God's presence and His
face (1 Chronicles 16:11 and Psalm 105:4).

Proverbs 31:12 NLT
"She brings him good, not
harm, all the days of her life."
Proverbs 31:12 NLT
Everyone and their momma knows about the Proverbs 31 woman. "Who can find a virtuous
woman?" "She is clothed with strength and dignity...." etc. We read about her, we know women who
are her, and we want to be her. I truly desire to become like the woman of Proverbs 31-----a woman
who is beautiful in God's eyes.
She is:
Pure----a woman of virtue (vs. 10)
Honest----her husband trusts her (vs. 11-12)
Industrious-----she is busy from sunup to sundown managing her interests and expanding her
enterprises (vs. 13-19, 21-22, 24, 27, & 31)
Provident-----her skill with finances enables her to care for her loved ones and increases her
property (vs. 14 & 16)
Strong in character----she faces the daily challenges of life with undaunted courage; she is a
woman of integrity (vs. 25 & 29)
Kind----she is compassionate and sweet speech comes from her lips (vs. 20 & 26)
Wise----walking in wisdom is her way of life (vs. 26)
Holy----she wholeheartedly loves the Lord and lives, walks, and talks like Christ (vs. 3)
"Be ye holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16)
Always remember that there is so much beauty in holiness.

Yes, the virtuous woman is a rare treasure----a distinctive, exceptional, extraordinary, superlative
treasure----but according to God, the Author of all beauty, you and I can become all that she is. During
my quiet time one day, as I studied this chapter, Proverbs 31:12 stood out to me. It reads, "She brings
him good, not harm, all the days of her life." ALL THE DAYS OF HER LIFE. ALL THE DAYS OF HERLIFE. All. The. Days. Of. Her. Life......
WHAT?!?!?
I've read this before plenty of times, and maybe just like me you assumed that maybe it meant that "al
the days of her life" started after she says, "I do." Especially because you just like me have no clue who
your future husband is! But as I began to spend some time with Christ......He began to show me that
bringing my husband good and not harm.....all the days of my life.....starts right here, right now.....while
am single.
