Grumpy vs. Grateful

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...The word "got" vs. the word "get" is similar, yet can totally mean the difference between GRUMPINESS vs. GRATEFULNESS. Think about these statements...I "got" to go to church vs I "get" to go to church. I "got" to go to work vs. I "get" to go to work. I "got" to exercise vs. I "get" to exercise. And the list goes on. These three tiny words can make you sound "grumpy" or "grateful", so watch how you use them! #begrateful, #drbnugget 

A Dose of Encouragement

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...I've heard it said that encouragement is "oxygen to the soul." Have you ever felt discouraged or broken and suddenly someone's words of encouragement lifted your sprit? At times, we all need a dose of encouragement. It gives us strength for our journey through life's roadblocks and setbacks. The best way to ensure that you'll get a dose of encouragement when YOU need it is to give a dose to OTHERS when they need it. #encouragesomebody, #drbnugget

The Fragrance of Humility

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...Whenever I wear my favorite perfume, I always get comments like, "Your perfume smells so good, what is that?" I believe that's how the aroma of humility smells. In the braggadocios world we live in today, there's just something so refreshing about a person with a  humble spirit. Col. 3:12 says  "clothe yourselves in kindness, humility and gentleness."James 4:10 adds, "humble yourselves before God and He will lift you up." So, If you want to be honored by God, make a habit of wearing the "fragrance" of humility...it WILL be noticed. #behumble, #drbnugget, 

The Dichotomy of Prayer

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...Prayer is powerful...but ONLY when you really BELIEVE in its power.  Have you ever said?..." I've done everything I could do ...all I can do now is just pray." This makes prayer sound more like a "last ditch effort" rather than the first and foremost thing to do. The dichotomy of prayer is that many times in life it is the ONLY thing you can do and at the same time, the most POWERFUL thing you can do! Remember that the next time you stop to pray! #prayerworks, #drbnugget

Keep HOPE Alive

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...Waking up each day with "hope" is like taking a daily B12 shot. Proverbs 13:12 declares, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick." Did you know the absence of hope can make your heart sick with depression, worry, fear, etc.? Hope gives you a reason to BELIEVE and a strength to ENDURE. Hope is to the body what gas is to a car...it keeps you going! So, no matter what, never lose hope!  HOPE is Holding On Praying Expectantly! Civil Rights leader Jesse Jackson was right when he coined the phrase, "KEEP HOPE ALIVE!"

Premium Faith

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...Life is about seasons, so if you happen to be in a season of financial drought right now, "hold fast to your profession of faith without wavering because He who promised is FAITHFUL." As your FUNDS run low, make sure your FAITH runs high! In fact, even though your funds may be running on "regular", make sure your faith keeps running on "premium!" SPEAK FAITH by declaring..."My God shall supply all of  MY need, according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus!" That's the PREMIUM faith that WIIL MOVE GOD! #premium faith, #moneycometh, #empoweredbydrb

The Force of Fear vs. Faith

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget..From the moment you awake  each day, you have the power to choose which force will dominate your life...FEAR or FAITH! Fear is associated with panic, dread and distress. Faith is associated with confidence, belief and trust! Fear expects the WORST. Faith expects the BEST! FEAR can mean False Evidence Appearing Real or Forget Everything And Run. But, FAITH can mean Forsaking All I Trust Him or For Anything Impossible Trust Him! Remember, "God does not give you a spirit of fear, but power, love and a sound mind"...a mind to let the force of FAITH dominate your life! #nofear, #faith, #empoweredbydrb
