1 Corinthians 2:2 states we should be determined to know God. I am determined to walk by faith, walk in love, walk in wisdom, walk in the Spirit, and walk worthy of my calling. The world’s standards shall not sway me or deter me.

Mindset Mondays: That Same Power
Power is needed to defeat all of the schemes of the enemy. Where do you get your power? Not your electrical power. Even though that is important. On Friday we started to have power issues at our house. Some outlets worked; others did not work. The clock on the kitchen range kept going on and off. We were almost devoid of power.
