Parker Inspirations

I started writing my thoughts back in October 2018 and in just a few months I had discovered things about myself I really was not aware of. So if I don’t know myself completely how can others think they know who I am? Every day through the Word of God I learn something about myself…

When I began writing back in October 2018, I never knew how helpful it would be to write down my thoughts. I also did not know how sharing what I wrote with others would help them as well. Recently I sent a copy of what I have been writing to a good friend and ask…

We sometimes compare how we look, or what kind of house we live in, or what kind of car we drive, etc. Comparing is where we become discontent. Any kind of discontentment leads to other areas in our life. If we dwell there for any amount of time if will affect us spiritually. Our goal…

1 Corinthians 10:2 “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” I am so guilty of comparing myself to others.

Relationships are built according to what we see. I read a devotion about the marriage relationship. The main verse was Solomon 2:2 “As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.” In this devotion it was pointed out that there was one lily and many thorns, seen in the eyes of the…

I know that each day is a constant battle with staying on track, so I just have to keep my eyes on the Word and seek what the Lord has for me. One of my greatest struggles is reacting to circumstances. When I react I make the circumstance worse. I find myself jumping into defense…

I am trying to not let my emotions cloud my judgment of the circumstances in my life. However, my emotions are on the surface and it does not take much for me to cry. I understand now why the Bible states that David encouraged himself in the Lord. At times like these no one wants…
