Greetings,
Here is the recipe for today…

Joshua 1:9
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Whether we face recession, depression, oppression, digression or suppression God is with us. He is with those in the white house and those in the crack house. If He said that we are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, the lender and not the borrower then it’s only a matter of time before the righteous stand up, stand out, and stand for His glory and His story (the gospel). So be effective right where you are. Remember, in order to get Godly wisdom you have to retain Him in your knowledge by studying His word to get an understanding.
