Daily Blessings

Call on God

Thank you, God, for the awareness of your ever-abiding Presence.

Suppose you were out in a boat that tipped over. As you hit the water, what would you do? Sink or swim? If you are not a swimmer, someone might hear your cries for help and come to your aid. Perhaps after this experience, some swimming lessons would be in order!

At times our own thoughts and emotions toss us into a sea of turmoil. Do we sink deeper into self-pity by thrashing out wildly in despair and complaining, or can we swim our way out through prayer? Spiritual help is always available.

God has promised us, “Though you have wandered far away, if you will call, I will hear.” So if you are ever about to “go down”—call on God. We will be held up by a life buoy of divine love, as we learn how to save ourselves from our error thinking through the power of prayer.

So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. (Matthew 14:29)

Your Divine Plan

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.
