Responses. How do you respond to a situation?

The reason why I bring this theme is that nowdays we are faced daily with challenges, situations, problems, or conflicts that put us in an uncofortable position and if we do not know how to respond accurately, things may not go so well. Let me tell you a recent personal story, A few weeks back I was looking for a groomer for my two Shih-tzu puppies and on my way home from running errands I see this van which is a mobile groomer that goes to your house I wrote down the number and when I got home I called it. Now, this is not the point. When the guy arrived a few days later my pups had a couple of small knots that could be easily treated with a brushing. Long story short, He shaved off the hair in their ears, face, and tail. (You may not know this but Shih-tzu's have long hair in all of those areas) The man never asked us if they had allergies or made us sign a contract of anything so if we wanted to sue him we could. I'm just giving you an idea of the situation. We payed the man and he went on his way. We could have taken another course of action but we didn't and now a little Bible verse for you. 
 "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
Well, something I want to leave you guys thinking about is that sometimes we will be the only Bible that someone will ever read. Our actions and responses are important. Let YOUR speech reflect a spiritual heart.

Like Shampoo and Conditioner

Something that's really been hitting me recently is the necessity we have to pray and read the Bible everyday. Soon after we become new Christians we have this longing feeling to find out more. Surely there's more to this, isn't there? The answer to that question is yes, there is so much more. The thing is, to have a personal relationship with Jesus, you need to get to know him just as you would with any other person. Prayer and Bible reading go together like shampoo and conditioner. You can't have one without having the other. What happens if you only put shampoo on your hair? It cleans it, but it leaves it feeling dry and brittle. And if you only put conditioner on your hair, it leaves it feeling soft and smooth but it isn't truly clean. The same thing happens with Bible reading and prayer, like I stated before, "You can't have one without having the other." 📖  "You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being ...

Cast Your Cares on Him!

Sometimes life throws us a curveball and we find ourselves staring blankly at what's to come ahead. We grow anxious, we grow weary, we grow tired and we lack that peace that only God can bring. I can speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes things happen and the only thing you can do is pray, but even so you still wish you could do more and it breaks your heart that you can’t. In one particular occasion, not too long ago actually, I was praying for someone but felt this terrible uneasiness about the situation I was praying for. After a while, decided to open my Bible and look for verses that speak about peace, because only God and His Word could bring me the peace I needed in that moment. Interestingly enough, I stumbled across a verse in Philippians that reads, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 That's when it hit me, through this verse, G...
