Daily Blessings

First Things First

I DO FIRST THINGS FIRST. CENTERED IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE, I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD.

What is the most important time of your day? The moment of signing an important contract, the closing of a big deal, the making of a sale, or perhaps simply a pleasant visit with a friend?

While any one of these may seem to be the highlight of your day, the most important is time spent in the quiet of prayer and meditation, for this determines what the rest of your hours will bring forth. The period of preparation is always the most valuable. Many of our mistakes are direct results of not reading or following the directions, or in some way not being adequately prepared to perform the task.

Prepare yourself for success through spiritual communion with the Father within. Enfolded in the knowledge of God’s love and protection, we can meet any condition that arises.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
