Lesson or Blessing? The Kingdom Key of Good & Evil

Lesson or Blessing? The Kingdom Key of Good & Evil

READ | Deuteronomy 30:11-20

I have set before you this day the choices of life and good, and

death and evil (Deuteronomy 30:15).”

We see good in every situation. Every situation and life event that takes place in our lives is good because it is either a lesson or a blessing. “All things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to God’s purpose (Romans 8:28).” Like Joseph, we understand that even what people mean for evil God uses for our good (Genesis 50:20).

Good that is not apparent is a lesson. The Good that is apparent is a blessing. The coin is a symbol of this Kingdom Key of Good and Evil. Everything that happens in our lives is like a two-sided coin. A coin has two sides: heads or tails. We can choose heads or tails. Heads is the positive view. Tails is the negative view. Coins can be flipped so that even if it lands on tails, we can flip it to heads.

As stated in today’s scripture, God promised to make us the head only and not the tail. Therefore, when negative thoughts and perceptions come to our minds, we can flip the coin or change the thought to heads or good. Although the coin has a tail side, we choose to focus on the head side. Although evil does exist, it is not our focus.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
