Prayer for a Different Perspective “Children of Zion celebrate!...  I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people.” Joel 2:21-24, 28- 32 MSG
If it had not been for the Lord on my side, tell me where would I be, where would I be?
He kept my enemies away. He let the sunshine through a cloudy day. Oh, he wrapped me in the cradle of his arms. When he knew I been batter and torn so...

The garden speaks to me of beautiful possibilities and a promise of a fruitful year. God is encouraging us to change our lives. It is not too late! The trees are going to bear fruit again. God has done great things so that we do not have to fear. Everything is greening up in the garden. We will have a large crop of vegetables and fruit if we are willing to put in the work. So let’s celebrate the possibilities of great things.

Spring is a reminder that we can start afresh and plant a new garden of blessing. Sometimes we want to repeat what we did last year because we are looking for comfort and familiarity. However, the garden is telling us that we can find comfort in change.
Change requires that we look at life from a different perspective. We cannot bring everything from the past into our present. It just won’t fit. We need to dream of our future and make that our reality for this season.

I remember when the New Year began in January, the ground was barren and cold. It did not appear as if anything would grow again. However, now in May, we can see drastic changes that encourage us to go on out and create what we see in our imagination. We have to know that there will be unusual substances that will appear to hinder our progress. Still, we cannot allow them to stop the work or delay the forward movement because time waits for no one. We have to work while the opportunity is there. Each season has its own assignment. We want to move with the Spirit. We want to speak the words of faith and then get to work to allow the garden to perform its splendor.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, I thank you for the excitement of a new season and new possibilities. I also thank you for the courage and strength to follow the words of the teacher, Holy Spirit. Amen

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein
