Proverbs 31:30,31

 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
      but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
 31 Reward her for all she has done.
      Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Proverbs 31:10-12

I thank God everyday for my wife.  Marrying the right person is so important.  To many young people rush into marriage and end up unhappy, bitter, with their lives in disorder because they marry the wrong person.

My wife is a Army wife she has put up with constant moves, me always being gone and having to manage with the kids and the house with me gone for long periods of time.  She is a strong woman and the right person to be an Army wife.  But more important she is a Christian wife that I know I can trust and that I know will raise our kids right.

Psalm 145:4

4 Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts;
      let them proclaim your power.
 

I found the following statement on the Operation World website in their prayer for today section.

In the West, stable two-parent families are becoming the exception and few children have any contact with the gospel. The legacy of rejection, spiritual ignorance and deprivation of real love is beginning to bear bitter fruit in delinquency, crime and social dislocation. Pray for Christian families as they seek to bring up their children in the fear of the Lord when all around them society is disintegrating and hostile.

Psalm 141:1-4

 3 Take control of what I say, O Lord,
      and guard my lips.
 4 Don’t let me drift toward evil
      or take part in acts of wickedness.

Psalm 140:11-13

11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

Psalm 138

1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, And give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; For you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, O Lord, For they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the Lord; For great is the Lord's glory.

6 For though the Lord is high, yet he looks after the lowly; But the proud, he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8 The Lord will fulfill that which concerns me; Your loving kindness, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

Proverbs 30:5,6

5 “Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

6 Don’t you add to his words, Lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

There are so many different doctrines out there in the Christian world, that you don't what is true.  That is why it is so important to study the word of God for yourself.  To many churches and leaders want to spin the word of God unto their own agenda.  Take for example the so called prosperity movement.  If you are following God to get rich, I tell you right now your heart is not in the right place.

Proverbs 29:22

22 An angry person starts fights;
      a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin.

It is still a working process for me.  I heard a coworker make a comment today as I was walking away.  I should of let it go but I didn't.  Instead I choose to defend myself.  I still need to work on that.

Proverbs 29:18

18 When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
      But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

We can just look around us and see how people run wild without divine guidance.  They will do anything or believe anything.  I was looking thru a magazine the other day and they had a poll and one of the questions was "Do you believe people can have morals outside of religion."  Most people said yes, well I disagree.  Real morals come from a religious conviction to do the right thing.  Our constitution and laws are based on the Bible no matter how much athiest want to disagree.  Without real morals people cheat, lie, steal, are rude and basically don't care about their fellow man.  Look how bad our schools are falling apart.  It has become politically uncorrect to discipline kids and teach them morals.  The new thing is to let them make their own decisions.  Well what kind of decisions are they going to make when their is no one to show them what a wrong decision is or to show them consequences for making bad decisions.

Proverbs 29:11

11 A fool vents all of his anger, But a wise man brings himself under control.

I need to pray daily that I am the wiseman and not the fool.  It seems life loves to throw little curve balls to get me frustrated and unfortunatly to many times I do let life's little problems get me frustrated.  But that is what they are little problems that don't mean a thing in the long run.  Thank God my family is heathy and all of our needs are taken care of, that is what is important.  The little problems don't matter.  They are just distractors.  I need to stay focused on serving God and he will provide for our needs.

1 John 5:4,5

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

We know that tough times are in the future for the Church, not only does the Bible say that as Christians we will face persecution but reading Revelations we know what is in store.  But we also know that God has the final victory and what is going to see us thru the hard times ahead is our faith.

1 John 4:2-6

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

I use to watch all of these news talk shows like O Reilly, John Beck, and Anderson Cooper and I would get so fired up over some of these issues that I couldn't sleep at night. Especially when they would talk about religious issues such as athiesim, seperation of church and state, homosexuality and the church. And then I realize something.  These issues might be important but they were not worth me losing sleep over, because in the end God is going to win.  Why should I care what Rosy O'Donnel or some other loud mouth athiest had to say.  There view points aint worth listening to.  Christanity has been around for hundreds of years and some loud mouth athiest aint going to stop it.  We know God will have the final victory.

1 John 2:18

18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the end times.

We know that the spirit of antichrist is already at work in the world.  Look at the athiests organizations.  It is one thing not to believe in God or religion but to actively attack religion is another thing.  What drives these people to such hatred toward God.  If they simply didn't believe then most people would live there lives in normal manner never thinking about God.  But no something drives these people to attack God and Christians. 

What drives the Muslims to such hatred against the Jews and the Christians.  They claim it is a history of repression by Zionist and Crusaders.  When I was in Iraq the propoganda was that we were Crusaders sent by our masters the Jews.  It sounds crazy but people bought into these.  But the truth is that Islam is a false religion establish by Satan.  If you study Islam you would know a lot of it is a copy of Judasim and Christanity.  And don't ever believe Islam is a religion of peace.  If you study the history Muhammed spread Islam at the point of the sword.  He would attack a village and give them a choice convert or death, of course most chose to convert to Islam.  Don't get me wrong I am not preaching hatred toward Muslim but just be aware of what it is about.  It is a false religion created by Satan to decieve the world.  The two major religions in the world right now is Christanity and Islam, with more and more people converting to Islam everyday.  Read about how the Shia Muslims are waiting for the return of the 12th Inman, there version of the return of Christ.  Read about the Iranian president's views on the end of the world and the destruction of Israel.  Our duty as Christians is to pray for these people but don't be fooled into thinking that the Islamic religion is not an enemy of God.  I have heard people say that Islam is another religion of the book of God.  Don't be fooled it is a distorted corruption of the truth of God.  There is a saying in the Army "know your enemy" well Satan is our enemy and these is one of his weapons.  Pray for the people that is under the spell of this false religion that they might hear the truth and find the one true God.

1 John 2:16,17

16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.(New Living Translation)

Why do we care so much about showing off our possessions to others.  Think about it?  What is having expensive jewelry, shiny rims, and loud stereos all about.  It is about showing off to others what we have.  Why do we care, why do we desire these things.  We know they can't bring happiness, we know seeking others approval don't bring happiness. True happiness has never been found in possessions or others approval.  We know only true happiness comes from living a humble life in God's will.
