Can You Keep a Secret?
Psalm 44:21
“Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.”
I remember when I was a little girl, oftentimes my friends and I would share “secrets”. Almost always, before the secret was told, the person would ask, “Can you keep a secret?” We would tell the person we would keep their secret, however, sometimes we would not do it. We would share that secret with someone else and proceed it by saying, “I’m not supposed to tell anyone…but…” I know you all have been in the position of the teller or hearer at one time or another. I believe we like thinking that we “know” something about someone that no one else does! But that’s not true, is it? Why? Because God knows all our secrets; whether we have spoken them or not.
There’s No School, Like the Old School

Are You Faithful?
I Corinthians 4:2 “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
Faithfulness is a subject spoken on a lot these days. It seems we are seeing less faithfulness in our churches, families and our own personal lives. When someone speaks of being faithful, there is not much doubt as to what the word means (although some seem to “forget” the meaning so easily). The word “steward” however, is a word that not many understand. We read this verse and it goes right over our head. A steward is a manager or an overseer, in charge of something. The Lord wants us to be faithful in our management of all areas of our life. There are three areas of our lives that I would like to focus on.
Can you see into the future?
We all have heard of fortune tellers; people that say they can tell your future by reading your palms, looking into a crystal ball, etc. We all know that is not true but we do have insight into the direction of our lives if we seek the Lord’s will for our life and read/study our Bible. The Word of God gives us so much instruction for our life, that we really should not have an excuse when things go astray in our life.
How is Your Christmas Spirit?
All the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is among us. I recently went to the mall for some last minute shopping and was very surprised to see not as many people as I expected. With the economy as bad as it is this year, there are many among us that will not be able to give gifts as we would like to family and friends.
Do You Have a Good Heart? Jeremiah 17:9
Have you ever heard someone say, “He/she sure does have a good heart.” This is sometimes usually said in a way that a person is to overlook the negatives in that person’s life, because they “have a good heart”.
