Reflection Day
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Good Morning, Friends! Today his Reflection Day! I really love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me about.

Do Not Put Your Trust in Humans
Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Psalm 146:3-4 Another verse that I am thankful for. This verse speaks to me here I’m not putting our trust in high authority or in humans to save me. They can’t save me, only Jesus can. Humans tend to make promises that they can’t keep or deliver. This is hurtful and disappointing. However, God does! He has kept his promise since the beginning of time. He has kept his promises to me. His plans to come to great things.…
