GLORIOUS IMPACT Biblical encouragement & edification

Encouragement, edification, and empowerment from a biblical perspective for true transformation.

  • Presence – Being Present

    This is the last word from my post, Peace, Patience, and Presence. I exchanged the word present for being present in the body of the post to be clear. It is the result of being active or being present in the moments of your life. God’s peace works on your patience. Your patience works on…

  • Patient

    Continuing to expound on the Peace, Patience, and Presence post earlier this week, this post will expound on patience. The definition for patience is “calm endurance of hardship, provocation, pain, delay, etc.”. This definition was found in the Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder. However, the definition I retrieved from the NLT Dictionary states that patience…

  • Peace

    Expounding on peace from my post on Monday, I want to encourage looking for the real and eternal peace, the peace of God. This peace is founded on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. John 14:27 – “I am, leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is…

  • Peace, Patience, and Presence

    God’s peace, the peace left by Jesus is amazing. It does lead to patience. When you are at peace with God, it does give you patience. Patience leads to being present in your life. This position says you are grateful for the things in your life. You appreciate what you have and enjoy the ones…

  • Contentment

    Contentment – a satisfied state; tranquil happiness 1 Timothy 6:6 – “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” How satisfied are you with your life? I was thinking today and evaluating how I was feeling as I went through my day. I actually focused on what I was doing at any given moment in time. Retraining…

  • His Word Says…

    God will never fail you or abandon you. Joshua 1:9 – “This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua received the commandment to be strong and courageous. And he did just that. It is really important that we…

  • What Does Courage Mean to You?

    Courage means “the ability to disregard fear.” I got this definition from the Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder published in 1996. Twenty-six years ago. Still holds true today. However, what does God say about courage. Genesis 46:3-4 – 3) I am God, the God of your father,” the voice said. “Do not be afraid to…

    Today’s post is on faithfulness. Being consistent in your walk with the Lord is a necessary ingredient to a life of faith. God himself is faithful to us. Faithfulness is a characteristic of God. Should we need an example, we have plenty in the Word of God. I think about God’s faithfulness and Jesus Christ…

  • He Loves Me

    Romans 8:28 – “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” As I sit and ponder this, I realize that there are many times the choices I make are not the best. However, the Scripture above…

  • There is Always Hope

    Today my focus is on the Scriptures Jeremiah 29:11-13. Verse 11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Verse 12 – “In those days when you pray, I will listen.” Verse 13…
