Wisdom is profitable to direct:

How have you adapted to the changes brought in by the Covid-19 pandemic?33

As a Christian Spiritual Therapist, the pandemic ingrained in my heart that “Wisdom is profitable to direct” Ecclesiastes 10:10b

During the pandemic,  I was  a victim of social media censorship, which led to the shutting down of several of my Christian ministry outlets. 

Although lots of data was lost, what hurt the most was the loss of platforms that gave me access to reach people with the Good News of salvation. 

Zeal without knowledge is counterproductive, it alienates rather than attracts. 

Hence the Bible says :

Your speech should always be gracious and sprinkled with insight so that you may know how to respond to every person.   

Colossians 4:6 CEB

After those bitter experiences,  I am more focused on lovingly leading people to the Truth of God’s Word, than in scoring points, in winning arguments or judging sin. 

The pandemic made me realize that it is better to be persecuted for righteousness sake, than to be persecuted for indiscretions of impudence.

When John the Baptist left his assigned mission to prepare the way for the Messiah in pursuit of the sins of Herod and Herodias, he ended beheaded and his ministry ended prematurely. 

Prayer:

I pray that you will apply your heart to skillful and Godly wisdom, conscientiously seek understanding, and be a blessing to your world of influences in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

You are more precious than these…

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Most mornings,  we spend about one hour in worship and intercessory prayers. 

Afterward,  I visit with my indoors and outdoors gardens in our front and back yards.

It was a beautiful sight today to see the beautiful yellow bloom of my curly kale.

The uniqueness of this veggie is this: I had no place for them on my raised beds and had to leave them in that bald portion of our yard. They were castaways!

Surprisingly, they survived the inclement weather – hale, snow, sleet, and frost of winter – and are blooming this spring.

Whereas, the ones that I tended did not survive the winter.

‭“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? Matthew 6:25-26 NASB

Even if family and friends treat you with ignominy, look to God, who is Father to the fatherless and friend to the friendless, He will beautify your life and nobody can say you owe them your success!

I pray for you today that you will laugh again, and your laughter will resound, and those that hear you laugh will laugh with you in Jesus Christ matchless name ❤️
