GOD IS FAITHFUL

Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9

Too often Christians think that being children of God makes them immune to the attacks of the devil or that the storms of life would just bypass them.

Exactly the opposite is true. I have seen those who turn their backs on God and walk out of the church because God didn't stop the storm from coming against them. Surely the storms of life will come.

hey will often come when you least expect them. That makes them a better test of your faith. We would all like it if the troubles that we will face were known before they happened so that we could plan better, but that's not faith. God wants to see how you will react in the times of trouble.

Will you react in faith and trust, or doubt and fear? When the enemy comes in like a flood against you, where will you turn to?

The reality of our walk with the Lord is that He never abandons us even when we feel abandoned.

The God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, He will make them right. The God of the good times is still God in the bad times.

The God of the day, is still God in the night. Thank God, He's still God — and nothing is too hard for Him! Thank God for his faithfulness!

Thank God for his promise to never leave us! Thank God for his power to heal, to bless, to forgive and to wash us from all sin!

Thank God for supplying our every need! Thank God for his love, His mercy and goodness.

Prayer: I thank You Lord, that in all situations You remain faithful.

The 10 things truly confident women do NOT do

What is the difference between a truly confident woman and a totally insecure one?

Everything. The way she walks, talks, thinks, feels and interacts with others are completely different. True confidence is built from within.

• In order to build this strength within, truly confident women have figured out which things they should put into their lives and which they should take out. Here is a list of some of those things a truly confident woman simply does not do.

• • 1. Compare herself to others

    A truly confident woman is content with who she is. Seeing another pretty face does not make her feel ugly, because she knows that life is not a competition. She does not keep score of who is the most clever, talented or beautiful.

  • 2. Seek happiness from outside sources

    Truly confident women do not depend on others to make themselves happy. They understand that happiness is a choice. When life isn't giving them lemons, they simply grow their own tree.

  • 3. Talk constantly

    A confident woman does not need to be the center of attention at all times. She is totally fine stepping aside to give someone else the spotlight.

  • 4. Feel the need to follow trends

    Truly confident women are not followers. They do not feel the need to "fit in." If they find something they like, they will jump on board. If not, they are perfectly fine wearing an outfit that is "so last season."

  • 5. Blame others

    Truly confident women are well aware that pointing fingers should have ended in third grade. These ladies take responsibility for their own actions. They are not afraid to admit their faults, face their own problems and apologize to those they have wronged.

  • 6. Pick apart her appearance

    A truly confident woman does not look in the mirror and see only her imperfections. She knows that bothersome blemishes and bad hair days are temporary. Even her pretty face will succumb to wrinkles and age spots over time. Because of this, a confident woman will often spend more time enhancing her inner beauty than her outward appearance.

  • 7. Get jealous

    A confident woman does not feel threatened by the success of others. She is genuinely happy for another's achievements and takes joy in other people's gifts and talents.

  • 8. Take things personally

    Truly confident women are not easily offended. They do not analyze every careless remark made to them, automatically assuming the worst. Unkind words and insults simply do not stick to them.

  • • 9. Gossip

      Confident women have better things to talk about than other people. Their topics of conversation are interesting and thought-provoking. These ladies do not need to speak poorly of others in order to feel better about themselves.

    • 10. Lower her standards

      A truly confident woman never lowers her standards for anyone. She does not seek approval from her peers. She seeks to do what is right.

DON'T WORRY

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' Matthew 6:31

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus had specific things to say about worry and anxiety. He said, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" (Matthew 6:25-27) Why shouldn't we worry?

First of all, God, your Father loves you so much that He will not withhold anything good from you.

Your Heavenly Father will take care of you. Jesus points to the birds. You've never seen a bird sweat, have you? Birds are singing, rejoicing and praising God.

Certainly, they need to go out and gather their food. They do their part to get what they need. But they don't worry about it. The point Jesus is making is that if God cares for the birds, will He not take care of you?

The answer obviously is yes, He will. Second, worry does not bring about anything productive in your life. It is a destructive emotion. It doesn't lengthen your life and can even potentially shorten it.

The next time you are tempted to worry about something, channel all of the energy you would have put into worry and put it into prayer instead. Say, "Lord, here is my problem. I am putting it in your hands. I am going to trust you."

Prayer: Lord, I cast all my burdens on you because I know you care for me.

Health: Antibacterial Soaps Can Harm More Than Help

Yet another research team has come out with a report against the use of antibacterial soaps. South Korean scientists discovered that antibacterial soaps only kill more bacteria than regular soaps do, if the antibacterial soaps are exposed to the bacteria for hours.

When the antibacterial soaps and the regular soaps were both used for 30 seconds, both killed the same amount of bacteria.

The active ingredient in antibacterial soaps is a product called triclosan. Current law forbids soap manufacturers from using more than 0.3 percent of it in antibacterial soaps. The South Korean researchers found that such a weak percentage of triclosan means it does not kill more bacteria than regular soap and water. They discovered the percentage of triclosan needs to be much greater than 0.3 percent to kill substantially more bacteria than regular soap.

However, don't let that 0.3 percent of triclosan make you think it's safe. As it turns out, it could be harmful in a number of ways, according to years of research that has even gotten the attention of the Food and Drug Administration.

In fact, the FDA is considering banning triclosan unless soap manufacturers can prove that it's safe.

The FDA is concerned about reports that triclosan causes hormonal disruption. Equally concerning is the theory that triclosan contributes to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is because when we use antibacterial soaps, the residue goes down the drain and ultimately into our water supply. So we end up drinking the stuff. Plus, the triclosan-tainted water is used to grow the foods we eat.

Remember, we only want to kill some bacteria. Much of the bacteria in our bodies, especially in our gut, are good, and we need them to maintain a healthy immune system. If we do away with all the bacteria in our gut we can suffer all kinds of bowel trouble and more.

So as cold and flu season approaches, remember the best way to prevent against getting sick is to wash your hands often. But just use regular soap and water. Ideally, use warm water and lather for at least 20 seconds, or about the time it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice.
