Train Up A Child

-



Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
Train up a child in the way he should go when he is old he will not depart from it.

Valentine's Day 2-14-18

On a morning when a young man would normally be thinking about Valentine candy, flowers or even a movie: Nikolas Cruz was thinking about fulfilling his desire to shoot up a school that his ex-girlfriend attended and he was expelled from.  When parents dropped their child or children off to school on Wednesday morning I am sure they all expected to see their teens alive at 3pm.  The bible tells of love, patience, gentleness and wisdom.  Was it Nikolas fault that he fed hate from the month of January when he posted his desire to shoot up a school on to social media.  The woman that adopted and raised Nikolas and his brother died in Nov 2017.   The death of a Mother will depress you and cause great disappointment.  Perhaps that along with no introduction to God in his life.  Proverbs makes it clear that children must be corrected and trained to understand right from  wrong.   An idle mind is "the devils workshop".  The 21st Century is constantly evolving in numerous of deaths because of one unhappy individual.  Nikolas mental breakdown was a direct result of a broken heart.  Compassion in such a disaster would seem impossible but, the believer must allow the light and love of Jesus to shine.  

The parents death allowed Nikolas and his brother Zachary to inherit $800k.   Seventeen counts of premeditated murder in Ft. Lauderdale, will change the destiny of a 19 year old man.  Hopefully, the FBI will take social media threats serious if an individual releases thoughts of shooting up a school serious.  

Parents train up your child.  It is not the schools responsibility or social media but, God's word tells us how to raise our children.  Perhaps Nikolas would have a Destiny other than the Penitentiary for life or the death sentence if he had the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour.

God is the Architect

Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then the judge replied,  ‘The s

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Always pack your umbrella. Umbrellas can provide coverage and protection from the sun, the wind, the rain and anything that fall on you. It could be a sudden shower or downpour accompanied by hail or wind, notice there are many types of umbrellas to suit your rain needs and climate.
