God is the ultimate protector, it gets no better than that. You want more proof? Ok, remember the story of Daniel and the lions den? It was when Daniel was thrown into the lions den based on jealousy and hatred. It happened in In Daniel 6:17-13.

Do you know it’s ok to start visualizing the visions and dreams God has for us? Do you know that some people stop thinking on what they want to be and do, because they think it's too big for them? I know, because I used to think the same way. Yes I was scared to move and I let the people around me, talk me out of my dreams. I finally realized that they were scared too. Can you believe that?   We have to live out what keeps tugging at our heart, because that's God guiding us. Psalm 31:3 says, "for you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me."  Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

We've heard many people tell the story of David and the evil giant Goliath, but I've never heard anyone say that there were actually two giants in the story. One was Goliath and the other was David. Yes David.  1 Samuel 17 tells the story.

James 2:14-17 is a reminder that WE have to make things happen for ourselves and when we start stepping out one step at a time, everything we have been waiting for will eventually come for us. This is the deal: whatever it is we do, whatever it is we're about, whatever it is that aches in our heart to do, we have to stop being afraid to do it. We have to do it scared, but just do it. There are so many people who have been waiting for someone like you and I. Are we doing anything to help or inspire them? I know, because I did the same thing, but you don't have to. Don't make my mistakes. Move faster on your gifts, skills, and the greatness you offer the world.

My philosophy is this: As long as we keep walking towards the Light -- towards the positive, we will get to where God has for us to go, so why not keep walking forward, right? Why not look forward to tomorrow? Tomorrow is not today and it's not yesterday, so let's at least have the mindset that it offers beautiful and splendid things.  Proverbs 4:10-12 says, "Hear, my son [and daughter], and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble."   Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

 If you’re in a good place today, that's awesome. I’m glad you made it through. Just in case you aren’t, you will get through too.  Romans 8:37-39 says: "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Continue to keep going and going and going...Translation: God has much for you and I, so we have to keep toiling and keep rolling.  Matthew 6:33 says to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all the things He has for us will be added to us. That’s it.   Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Do you know that when God says you're going to be blessed with a promise He's made to you, it's going to happen? Because when God said it was going to get done, it's going to get done. Nobody can stop it, nobody can block it, and nobody can influence the outcome. What God has your name on, is for you and only you. "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God" (2 Corinthians 1:20).  Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Sometimes we have good days and sometimes not so good, right? Yet we can't let it get us down. We have to give ourselves a few minutes of sulk time then it's off to the races. I know now that being depressed about our past, present, or even future won't help anybody. But developing a plan of action, will. Just remember, there is something that can done about something.  Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”   Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Won't God do it? Won't God take His people from "nothing" to something, in an instant? He did it all throughout the bible. There are many stories about the nothing, low, underdogs who triumphed over undeniable feats (1 Corinthians 1:27-29). Don't you just love the the spirit of the underdog? I know I do.

Today I want to share a little about what Proverbs 3:13-18 says. Maybe it'll bless you with something that is on your mind today.  Proverbs 3:13-18: “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed."  Blog: insharonsheart.org WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Proverbs 16:3 says, "commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."  You know what that means, right? It means great things for you and I when we do the work. Yes that means when we're not sitting around like I used to do. It means living every day to achieve all that God has for us. Yesssssss.

Have you ever heard Habakkuk 2:2/3? It's scripture that talks about seeing a vision, writing it down, working towards it, and waiting for it to come. Now waiting doesn't just mean sitting around. It means working, because remember, faith without works is dead, right? The scripture says: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay."  Blog: insharonsheart.org WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Has anyone ever told you, your words have power? If not, I'm coming to tell you to start believing they in fact do have power, much power. Proverbs 18:21 says, "death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

Do know God is watching our every move? Yes, and do you know He's with us when we do things right and when we do things wrong? I don't know about you, but that gives me peace and solace especially when some of my days are not good. Yes, I know He will never leave me or forsake me. How about you? Are you aware of that? I'm sure you are, but listen to this: Psalm 121:7/8 says, "The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever."

Once upon a time I didn't think the Lord was pleased with me. You see, I had made some mistakes. I had dropped the ball. And I had made some stupid decisions. I wasn't feeling too hot about myself either at that time, because I had disappointed even myself and I eventually forgave myself. Yet, I was wrong about God. Yes, Psalm 139:14 is proof of that. And I know it, because Romans 8:1 also tells me there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. So, yes, the Lord is pleased with me, that I know.

Proverbs 9:9 says, "give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning." That verse is saying, put your energy into a person who is open to hearing and accepting wisdom. Doing so will get better results, because such a person is interested in doing what God would have him to do, and will become wiser as a result. Yes. A scoffer, on the other hand, is the opposite. That person doesn't believe God or the wisdom that comes from God.

Are you seeking anyone? God, perhaps? Who are you seeking? Because Proverbs 8:17 says, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me." Yes, Proverbs 8:17 is God talking. Do you hear Him?  Blog: insharonsheart.org WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Proverbs 28:22 is another way of saying that when God blesses us with things we can use to give to people, we should do it. And it doesn't matter what it is, nothing is too small or too big to help someone. You've heard the phrase, someone's trash is someone else's treasure, right? Well, there you go. There is someone who can benefit from someone. We just have to have a willing heart, is all.   Blog: insharonsheart.org WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Proverbs 27:17 says, "iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." What that means is that the people who are around us are the people who make us better and vice versa. Or at least it should be that way.  Blog: insharonsheart.org WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart
