And the manna ceased on the morning after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
It is so easy for us to become so comfortable with the familiar that we miss opportunities to receive blessings that we have prayed for, because going after them means we have to leave our comfort zone. But in order to have the promises of God, we must leave the familiar (embrace being uncomfortable), trusting and believing that God will do just what He said. |

...For unto whomever much is given, of him shall be much required... Luke 12:48b
Have you ever found yourself asking God for more? More money, a promotion on your job, a bigger house, a newer model car. Only to get these things and find that they are just as much a burden as waiting to obtain them.
The above scripture says that the more we are given, the more we are expected to give. I don't know what your take on this is, but here is mine. |

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.... Proverbs 23:7
There are some people who will say things to you whom you would have never expected to say them. The initial shock doesn't necessarily come from what was said, but who said it. You probably would have fainted if you weren't so consume with disbelief. Has that ever happened to you?
Though hurtful words are inevitable for us to encountered, we must remember that it is not what other people say about us or to us that matters; it is what we are saying to ourselves. |

Yesterday I was clever and wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. Rumi
Oh, how better the world would be if we all would spend as much time working on ourselves that we expend trying to change others. Using tactics we deem appropriate, to bully people into being who we want them to be or do what we want them to do. |

It is wise to direct your anger toward problems, not people; to focus your energies on answers, not excuses. William Arthur Ward |

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Hebrews 5:11-12 (NIV)
Here in this scripture, Paul tells the Hebrews that they should be further along than they are. |

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4
A truly thankful person is a truly peaceful person. They've created a habit, that no matter what, they will notice, pause, and choose- choosing to be thankful regardless of the circumstances.
As Thanksgiving Day is approaching, let us choose to notice something for which we can be thankful for; pause, so that we can acknowledge this something as a reminder of the presence of God; and choose to focus on God's presence until His peace is unleashed in our lives. |

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalm 1:1
This scripture is telling us: Don't listen to a fool Don't adopt their ways |
