Accountability is defined as being liable or answerable for whatever.  Can I count on you? When your life is all said and done, what will it have said, and what will you have done?

Scripture Reference:

Luke 16:2(a)

And he called him, and said to him, how is it that I hear this of you? Give an account of your stewardship.

There are some things that all you can do about them is change you.

Scripture Reference:

Proverbs 10:32

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaks frowardness.

Today, let’s pay attention to the people around us. Someone that you my not be aware of just wants to be noticed by you. Recognizing that they exist could help them decide that life is worth living after all.

Scripture Reference:

Luke 8:30

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

We should never allow other people to rain on our parade. Here’s what I mean. It takes a lot of mental work to keep a positive attitude in a world where it is just easier to be negative and complain about everything. We all have people in our circle that would fall into the category of a rain maker. You might be a rain maker yourself. Nevertheless, we have to be careful that we don’t allow their negative view of the world to poison us and cause us to become ship wrecked and hopeless. Redirect those that are always painting a dim picture with positive and powerful word, and if they refuse to change, move on before they rain on your parade.

Proverbs 14:7

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you perceive that the lips of knowledge are not in him.

The new year seems to be a time when most of us focus on making some changes in our lives. Remember that as we embark on our journey to make these changes, that it is important to get still and quiet often. One of our greatest down falls as people is our refusal to get alone with ourselves. We know that when this happens, all of the loud less important voices are silenced, and we will then be able to see clearly some of the mess in our lives. I know that looking at ourselves at times can be unpleasant, but to make resolutions and avoid getting still and quiet is counter productive.

Scripture Reference:

Mark 6:46

And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.

A new year with new opportunities. Take it one day at a time my friends.

Scripture Reference:

James 1:4

And let patience have [its] perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

As we determine to make changes going into the new year, lets make sure that what we resolve to do is not to much to chew. Many of us fail before we get started because we bite off more than we can handle when it comes to making changes in our personal lives. Take little steps and just keep moving in the right direction.

Scripture Reference:

Genesis 11:6(b)

Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shines unto all that are in the house.

Sometime, I feel like I’m never going to really grow up. Every time I address one issue in my life, it seems like another one pops up. The truth to the matter is this; growing up is a life time process. The longer we live, the more we should grow. That is unless we decide that we don’t want to grow anymore. Don’t be fooled by this, if we are not growing then we are moving in the opposite direction. Concerning this issue, there is no gray area. Therefore my friends, choose to grow daily.

Scripture Reference:

II Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with unveiled faces seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory(one level), to glory(the next level), even as from the Lord the Spirit 

Are you uptight about everything? When you get bad news , do you immediately go into panic mode? I know when I get bad news, the first thing that tries to rise up in me is fear. We can not afford to allow anything to cause us to go into panic mode. No matter what it is, it is never as bad as it first appears. We need to step back and gathers ourselves so that we can give the appropriate response for the situation.
