A prayer

Robin Sykes

Father, thank You that my value in Your eyes is not determined by what I do but simply by the fact that You created me. Help me to recognize that same value in others as I represent You to the World.

Self Control

Robin Sykes

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self control.
2Timothy 1:7 ESV
I want to focus on the last part of the scripture Self Control Hassan Whiteside is a basketball player for the Miami Heat he got ejected from the game twice the 1st time for wresting Alex Len to the ground and the 2nd time for blindsiding Kelly Olynyk with a forearm to the back of the head. The 1st time he got ejected I was like oh God he is getting ejected but we was like he can’t do that no more the 2nd time he got ejected I was like AGAIN What he did was foolish he didn’t have to do that the 2nd time he got ejected from the game a guy from Twitter said this maybe why Whiteside couldn’t stay on a team I started to think about that I was like mmmm maybe this could be the reason another person said Whiteside couldn’t stay on the team because of his attitude I didn’t believe that I said nah they wouldn’t give him a chance to see how good he can play. Some teams ain’t gonna put up with your attitude then it got us to questioning do we need another center? This is his 2nd time in the NBA Michael Beasley said you have to learn how to control it that is so True I’m for Hassan to have a long successful career in the NBA for that to happen he gonna have to control his attitude I understand at times he may wanna knock the hell out of them but he can’t do that he gonna have to keep his cool and keep it Moving so far he has kept his attitude under control. Because he knows he needs us we need him to clinch a playoff spot he does not need his attitude to put him out of the NBA a 3rd time what Dwyane said is true too if he continues to act that way then he’s not reliable and you wanna be that guy that the Team can rely on if you can’t control your attitude how can the Team rely on you? I told Hassan on Twitter you need self control the Heat is dealing with enough they don’t need your foolishness to be added on if you look up foolishness and it tells you what it says Hassan was that at that time at times my attitude goes out of control and got me in to trouble I have done better keeping it under control and I have to continue to keep it under control if I want to live on my own one day even the Bible tells you to have Self Control according to Wikipedia Self Control means the ability to control one’s emotions , behavior and desires in the face of external demands in order to function in society all of us need Self Control to make it in this World I said this about Hassan and I’m saying this about all of us use self control you’ll be good.

Younger days Older nights

Robin Sykes

We must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.
John 9:4 HCSB
My cousin said this scripture in the Bible study I ask the question when it says Night is coming when no one can work that’s does mean you gonna die? She said no it means when you are older you can’t do the things you use to do when she ask her daughter to open up a bottle for her she don’t have the strength to do it herself that is the night time. When a person get in to a bad car or motorcycle accident is put on a ventilator that is a dark day in the person life that is their night time when you are young you can do a lotta of things and you have the energy to do it that is the day time like some people would say back in the day I said oh ok cause I saw the scripture before when I saw it I thought it was talking about day and night of nature my Mom said day and night are symbolic in the person life like my Mom she is 63 she is in her night time and Me I am 28 I’m in my day time at the top it says we must do the works of Him who sent Me she didn’t explain that so I’mma say this rather you are in your younger days or in your older nights you still have to do the works of the Lord.

Yet Will I Trust Him

Robin Sykes

My cousin have this Bible study at her house she invited me to come to study this book called Yet Will I Trust Him by Peg Rankin and share what we are studying in the book to be put on the blog. What I got out of it when she said this I’m gonna stay in the house all day and not be around those non believers they are nothing but hypocrites it’s a ill world out there you are doing yourself a disservice when you do that we need to be out there because those non believers who are members of other faiths can have a powerful impact on us. They can tell us something different about God that we don’t know of and get us to think about what they say and as we are thinking we like mmmm they could be right? Then they got cha you leave your faith you join theirs you led a stray we have to stay strong in whom we believe and know who God is cause we have experience Him. We are Christians we have a Bigger, Powerful and Stronger impact on them then they have on us because we are Salt and Light we are atmosphere changers and they see that we are LIVING as CHRISTIANS they will ask us questions we will give them something to think about they will leave their faith and join ours.

Scriptures to look up Matthew 5:13-14 , 1Peter 3:15 , Job 13:15 , 2Timothy 1:12
