Make your words count. Do what is right in the sight of the Lord…always. 

“Moses finished reciting all the words” (Deuteronomy 32:45). He said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess” (Deut. 32:46-47 NIV). 

Be reminded of verse 43: “Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.” 

These are powerful words from God. God takes care of his own. He is long-suffering, but God makes the records straight. The Holy Spirit reveals all hidden truth and shows us things to come. We are in the hands of the one who fed the hungry multitudes, and beckoned weary hearts to rest. We are in His hands, those pierced hands, once nailed to Calvary’s tree, where Jesus paid the price in full…for you and me. Jesus came to set us free. He wants us to be made whole so we speak life to all we meet. 

Moses knew it was the end for him; we may not know when our end is at hand…when we will draw our last breath. Any word of our ours…may be our last. What will people remember you by? Your encouraging words, godly counsel, or yelling and screaming and pitching a fit? 

If we always thought about our words, that they could be our last, would it not make us more careful? Would we ever say an unkind word to our spouse, our parents, our children, or to a friend who has stood by us through thick and thin? Would we say an unkind word to a dear friend who was perhaps a little short in their attitude, only to find out they had terminal cancer and were sick? Would we ever say an unkind word if we felt we may not have the opportunity to make it right? Would we ever utter an unclean, angry, or untrue word if we knew it would be our last? 

Surely we all want to have beautiful endings to our life, to leave a legacy of sweet memories behind in the hearts of our family, friends, and those who love us. We want the memory of our final words to leave a heartfelt, tender joy with those we love as the days pass. 

Only by making sure that every word we speak glorifies God can we be certain our last words will be beautiful memories. For with any goodbye on the phone, to any sentence we speak to family, friends, neighbors, and those around us, we may come to the end of our days. 

Make your words count…for all eternity. Pray to God to keep a pure and tender heart. Bring joy to all you meet. “The Lord watches over those who do what is right, and he hears their prayers” (Psalm 34:15).

Teach your children to pray every morning and night. They need to know about Jesus so they can live in the world with peace and know that God has a plan for their lives. You don’t want your family to miss eternity with Jesus.

Commit your family and business to the Lord. If you have raised your children to know the Lord and they are away from God, keep praying God’s Word over them. *Great scriptures: Malachi 2:6, Isaiah 49:25, Psalm 129:4 and Jeremiah 29:11 are a few. 

The spoken Word of God does not return void. God’s Word never fails. If you got born again late in life, pray for your family now. It’s not too late if you have breath in your lungs. These two simple prayers will change your life. 

*Pray and apply the blood of Jesus daily and ask Him for wisdom.

*Ask God to forgive you for any wrong thoughts, deeds, actions and words, and to remove anything that would hinder your relationship with Him.

You can live according to God’s Word which is linear and get off of the vicious cycle of life through learning how to apply God’s Word to your daily life. You don’t have to live stressed out, upset, and in chaos. Choose this day whom you will serve. We are either living according to God’s Word and His ways…or choosing to operate in the world’s system. 

Each human being has a destiny.

God has a plan and a purpose for your life. The believer’s purposes are to know God and to make Him known. To love one another (John 13:35), and to serve each other (Matthew 25:34-40). There is no higher calling, no occupation so satisfying. 

God desires us to have pure hearts so we can walk in His power. A pure heart has experienced brokenness and realizes their need for God, is soft and pliable to our heavenly Father’s touch, and seeks to know Him more on a daily basis. 

God desires relationship with us and a total commitment to His justice first and foremost. The basis is the righteousness of God Himself, and it is revealed in His law (which is Word). We are to love the law of God as it applies to all walks of life: home, business, politics, and the arts. 

God wants us to obey His Word because He says so. God wants us to act justly and to love mercy. This means we don’t have any desire to bring harm or destruction to anyone, but that they might be saved. Walking humbly with God means remaining in close fellowship with Him…consistently. Walking humbly means submitting to Him, doing what He says, simply because He says to do it. Walking humbly with God means being eternally grateful to Him giving continual thanks to Him for all His many benefits. 

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind, and your neighbor as yourself. (Deuteronmy. 6:5; Lev. 19:18; Matt. 22:37, 39; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27). Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). Use these responses to evaluate your walk with God. 

PRAYER:

“Father, I thank YOU for the blood of Jesus that is applied to my life that brings protection, provision, and purpose. I ask You to lead my path, give me YOUR wisdom, and bring divine connections my way. Lead me according to Your Word. Amen, let it be so.” 

At night, “Father, I ask You to forgive me for any wrong thoughts, deeds, actions, and words…and remove anything that would hinder my relationship with You. In Jesus’ Name.”

We can have peace in the midst of life…and through all the storms that come with it. Jesus is Peace. He is with us in every situation. We can have peace when we turn to Jesus in everything. Trust Him today. Teach your family to pray! God loves us so much He sent His Only Son that we might have eternal life with Him. We have everything we have need of through the Blood of the Lamb —Jesus Christ!

Oh how He loves you and me!

You can sow, but only God can grow. You will never discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore…”Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus” (Matthew 14:29 NASB) Without taking a risk, you will never know all God created you to be and never realize your God-given potential. #Leavealegacy #YourGiftWillMakeRoomForYou #AbundantLife #SpiritualMaturity #IdentifyYourGift #BullDogFaith

If I had not believed God, my husband would not be alive today. God raised him from death, healed him from two strokes, and two open-heart surgeries. Yes, and twenty-five days in Mercy hospital…with a stop sign at the street corner that was strategically placed by God that said:  STOP WORRYING.  Someone had gone before us and had put a sticker that said “worrying” underneath the word STOP. 

God goes to extreme measures to encourage us. Trust Him today. If I had not stepped out and asked questions, stated what God told me to say, and had the boldness to stand up—I would have been a widow.

Dare to step out and identify your gift, dream big dreams, connect with people of purpose, live large, empower people to do the same, promote other people, and live the abundant life through caring about people and obeying God. Choose to leave a legacy of knowing God and making Him known in every area of your life. 

God still raises the dead. He parted the Red Sea and He will part whatever Red Sea is facing you today. Dare to believe.

He loves you!
