Tools For Sale

Posted by Christina Scovone on Monday, July 9, 2012, In : Facing Trials 

Daily Encouragement For July 09:

Tools For Sale

It was advertised that the devil was going to put his tools up for sale. 
On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each 
tool being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of 
implements...Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Bitterness, Guilt, Pride, and so on.

Laid apart from the rest was a harmless looking tool, all worn out and priced 
very high.

"What is the name of this tool?" asked one of the purchas...

Daily Encouragement For June 11:

The Obstacle In Our Path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid 
himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. 

Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply 
walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads 
clear, But none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. 

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. 

Upon approaching the boulder, the...

Daily Encouragement For May 11:

A Lesson From Frogs

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the unfortunate frogs they would never get out.

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the frogs were saying and
simply ga...

Daily Encouragement For April 10:

What To Tell The Devil

When the devil is on your back and you feel like you just cannot shake him, tell him to get off!
He cannot stay on to you because God is right there beside you.

When the devil keeps you up at night, tell him to get out of your bed!
God is your security blanket.

When the devil keeps reminding you of your past tell him where his future is!
You are forgiven and all your sins are forgotten.


When the devil causes sickness and pain, tell him get aw...

The Cross

Daily Encouragement For April 02:

The young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no way out, he dropped to
his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "You told me to take up my
cross, but I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your
cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross
you wish."

The man was filled with relief. "Thank you, Lord," he sighed, and he did
as he was told.

Upon entering the othe...

Daily Encouragement For March 13:

The 26-year-old mother stared down at her son who was dying of terminal
leukemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a
strong feeling of determination. Like any parent she wanted her son to
grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible.
The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams
to come true. She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever
think about what you wanted to be once you grew ...

God Knows The Way

Posted by Christina Scovone on Thursday, March 8, 2012, In : Facing Trials 

Daily Encouragement For March 08:

Who knows the way I take but God alone!

Fifty people can look at your life, and in their minds believe they know all the answers, but each one will have a different answer, but God says, “I know the way that You take, I know all the answers!”

There will always be judges sitting in the grandstands, but as a child of God we only have one Judge.
And He is able to judge according to His righteousness and mercy. He sees all our yesterdays, today, and even tomo...

The 90/10 Principle

Posted by Christina Scovone on Friday, February 24, 2012, In : Facing Trials 

Daily Encouragement For February 24:

Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger breaks friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel.

Does this describe you? If so, do...
