By Bev Herring

Recently some scriptures stirred my spirit to think beyond my imagination as my husband likes to say.

Have you noticed when writers of the New Testament authors like Peter or Paul or John begin to make a point in scripture they give us information but we pass over it because it is not a part of the point they are making?  

In the very opening of 1 Peter 2:11 in the New King James Version Peter puts these words:

“Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims….”

God’s Word Translation of that same verse says: “Dear friends, since you are foreigners and temporary residents in the world….”

Good morning from Raleigh, North Carolina and welcome to Rich Thoughts For Breakfast on this Sensational Saturday, May 4, 2013…Day 124 of our year of unfulfilled promises BEING fulfilled.

If you’ll think seriously with me for a moment, you will realize that you are one of two kinds of people.

You are either a “can do” person or you are a “can’t do” person.

If you feel you can’t do things, I’m going to give you six points that will take you out of the loser’s circle and put you into the winner’s circle.

No matter how unsuccessful you may have been up to this point, it can change today.

10.  Purpose in your heart to do something about your future today.  If you don’t…nobody else will.

  9.  If you don’t like the harvest you’re reaping…change what you’re sowing.

  8.  Never be moved by what others think or say…only by what God directs you to accomplish.

  7.  The price for success is always paid in advance…never after it’s been achieved.

  6.  God is more interested in your availability than your ability.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  We can’t change the past but we can change the future by the decisions we make and the actions we take…TODAY.

  4.  Our words have consequences.  Our faith is either strengthened or weakened by the words we speak.

  3.  If you accept where you are in life…that’s where you’ll stay…until you decide you’re tired of things being the way they are.

  2.  Never allow your circumstances to cloud your thinking, destroy your dreams or make you settle for less than His best for your life.

And the # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  1.  As long as you have a dream…you will never be poor.  No one can take your dream away but you can give up on it.  Don’t!

I get over 200 emails a day and that doesn’t count forwarded email . . .which as a rule I don’t open unless it’s from a CLOSE personal friend.  But recently, I came across a piece of forwarded mail from an anonymous author which stirred my faith…so I’ve decided to share it with you.

Subject: Who God Uses

Who God Uses God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's me.

I’ve got a word for you. . .whatever you’ve been believing for. . .it’s going to happen.

It’s not a question of if. . .but when.

My fine wife, Bev, shared a scripture with me several days ago that ignited in my spirit and strengthened my belief that. . .whatever you’re believing for. . .trusting is going to happen. . .is going to manifest.

1 Chronicles 28:20 in The Living Bible says:

“Then he continued, “Be strong and courageous and get to work. Don’t be frightened by the size of the task, for the Lord my God is with you; he will not forsake you. He will see to it that everything is finished correctly."

In this powerful verse. . .we find seven reasons what you’re believing for. . .is going to happen.

There are just some things in life that you don’t or can’t understand with a natural mind.

For instance, I don’t really understand why a black and white cow can eat green grass give yellow butter and white milk.

There are things people in the world, and even some Christians, don’t or can’t understand about the things of God.  However, our lack of understanding doesn’t make them any less true.

10.  Your time is your life…if you waste your time…you’ve wasted your life.

  9.  My future is not determined by who or what I was…but who I am now.

  8.  Praying tonight for everyone to have a teachable attitude…an insatiable appetite for learning and a commitment to excellence.

  7.  God is not trying to get into your business…instead He wants you to get into His way of doing business.

  6.  Stop finding fault…find solutions.  Anyone can find fault…it takes someone with the mind of Christ to find solutions.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  If you aren’t happy on the inside…neither wealth nor poverty will make it so.

  4.  A person is truly poor…not when he has nothing…but when he does nothing.

  3.  The key to success will never open the door of opportunity unless you use it.  Do it…TODAY!

  2.  Start your week with a little math…count your blessings…name them one by one and watch as more blessings are added…TODAY.

And the # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  1.  The way you think, speak and act will either reflect fear or faith…but not both.

Get ready. . .there is something God wants released into your life.

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 says:

“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

I looked up the words “. . .in Christ shall all be made alive” in the Strong’s Concordance.
