James W. Inspirational Thoughts

  It comes a time in life when you have to take a step back, hit the reset button and rethink decisions you "thought" were sound decisions. And please, no need to be embarrassed, because it's no indictment against you to reverse a previously made decision. But what can be embarrassing, is to not reverse that decision, opting to stand firm on an otherwise bad decision. The Lord says, "show me a man with pride and I'll show you a fool". (Proverbs 12:15).

  Not everything in life involving yourself is your decision to make. Just because it's your life, it doesn't mean it's your decision. It comes a time when some decisions are for others to make, because your decision is not always the right decision.

 Have you ever sat back and thought about people you should remove from your life? It's a plethora of people dangling in your life you probably should have removed eons ago. Perhaps you should give it some thought and begin hitting the reset button in creating space in your life. It would be like clearing unnecessary data from your cellphone. You'll be surprised at the amount of space created. 

 If you've already prayed about it, the Lord has made the decision for you. So why are you interfering with his work? If your prayers weren't answered, chances are it's because you sabotaged your own prayers.

 Why would you debate with someone you already know lacks knowledge? Arguing with ignorance is like beating a dead horse, you can't win. The best way to combat ignorance is to simply walk away peacefully. 

 Can you see the paper trail? Most times in life the paper trail leads right back to you. Problem is, you can't see it because your eyes are to focused on things of insignificance. Your problems in life reside within you. 

 Remember all the profits you read about in the bible? They spoke on many things that came into existence. Why do people seem to think profits died after they died? Are you aware they were as human as we are? In other words, true profits didn't die off just because they passed on during the times Jesus walked this earth.  Profits still exist in today's time, with some being as powerful as those during biblical times. One may ask, "why aren't they as visible now as they were then"? Who said they were noticed even back then? The same hand full of people that noticed them back then, are the same hand full that noticed them in present day. Just because they aren't visible to you, doesn't mean they don't exist. If you truly studied the word of God and knew him, they would become visible to you on a daily basis. (Marinate on that).
