Good Saturday Morning to you all.

**** Right off the bat--- A reminder that TODAY we begin reading Proverbs all over again. Last month we started reading one chapter daily and repeating it for the entire month after month. Primarily because we need WISDOM in guarding our lives and Proverbs written by Solomon gives us the wisdom we need. Just one little addition: YOU MUST DO WHAT IT SAYS.

I want to give a SHOUT out to Casmic Reid our Mission's Director and his team for doing a great job in last Sunday's service at our Mission's Conference. Blessings to you all.

Here is my thought to all of us this morning.

In Psalm 101:3 it says "I will set NO EVIL before my eyes."

I am not thinking of anyone in particular as I write these few lines except ALL of US!!! 

Most, if not all, of us struggle in this area. We see things and we immediately draw a picture in our mind that may or may not lead us to the next step. We must be cautious in what we see or allow ourselves to view. Make wise choices so we do not fall into temptation that leads us away from God and pollutes our soul.

Did you know that what you think determines the direction and quality of your life. Often what you think about is determined by what you see or view. You are not as strong as you think you are. The enemy is looking for a kink in your armor. 

Scripture in Phil. 4:8 encourages us to think about things that are pure, wholesome and Godly and full of good reports.

In order to think the right things we need to filter what we watch, read or listen to. I realize that sounds simple, yet Satan deceives many believers into thinking those areas are NO BIG DEAL--- well, they are and as long as we think they are no big deal, he will continue using those same deceptions.

Let's not let the enemy desensitize any to what is good and pure. Give him NO OPPORTUNITIES to pull you down.

Remember you are the temple of God. This week let's fill our thoughts with the promises of God and live in VICTORY!!!

Much love,

Pastor

For tomorrow, let's read Hebrews 5 (take special notice of vs. 11)
