Have you ever thought about having a personal, inner thermostat or regulator? If something goes wrong you know your thermostat, God will bring everything back in line.

It is like a checking account where you put in deposits and withdrawals. If you put a deposit amount that was actually a deduction you won’t balance or reconcile. If the Lord chastens you and you put on the withdrawal side you won’t balance or reconcile.

You must learn where to put things and make sure they are in perspective. It is like a wagon wheel it might be down at the moment but will roll right back up, if you will give it time.

Welcome to a brand new month — a fresh chapter full of possibility. July 1st isn’t just another date on the calendar; it’s an opportunity to realign, refocus, and reignite the fire within you.

Maybe June didn’t go the way you planned. Maybe you stumbled, got discouraged, or felt like giving up. That’s okay. Progress isn’t about perfection — it’s about persistence.

This month, remind yourself: your story is still being written.

You have the strength to keep going, even when the road gets tough. You have the wisdom to learn from the past and the courage to chase your goals — even if they feel out of reach.

Take a deep breath. Let go of last month’s frustrations, and walk boldly into this new season with faith and determination. Small steps still move you forward, and every effort counts.

As you start July, speak life into your journey:

“I am capable.” “I am resilient.” “I am moving forward.”

Don’t wait for motivation — create it. Show up for yourself. Set one goal, take one action, make one decision that aligns with your purpose. The rest will follow.

You’ve got this. July is your month to rise.

Titus 2:6-8. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Story:

  

It is like the TV character Steve Urkel who would tear up anything and everything. Afterwards he would say ” Did I do that?” Seemingly he acted like he didn’t know that he had done anything wrong. He was in the dark about everything that his actions had done. He seemed innocent in any destruction he had caused. 

People say hurtful things and act as if they had no idea that could be destructive to the relationship. They would act like what did I do, I only said so and so? 

There is a little saying that we used to say when we were kids. It went something like sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Well, I’m here to say that words can be very hurtful. I would almost rather have the sticks and stones. 

Words are like arrows shot from a bow and arrow once they leave the bow, the arrows can never return. Once you let your words proceed out of your mouth you can never grab them back. 

Words are powerful especially to children who are so impressionable. We can’t wait for them to walk and talk and then we tell them to sit down and shut up! 

We tell them they are dumb, clumsy and other statements of incompetence. We can program them with negative programming in the first few years of their lives that will take years of reprogramming for them to be productive in life! 

Millions of children go to bed hungry tonight for lack of food and nourishment. Millions more will go to bed hungry tonight for lack of encouragement. 

Words are powerful and life-changing. Words can build people up to accomplish great things, or tear them down and render them almost useless and helpless.

Scripture: 

Ephesians 4:1-3

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Can you spare a minute or so?

[Message:]

Ever feel like life is throwing you tests you didn’t study for? Welcome to the real world—no cheat sheets, just coffee and prayer!

But here’s the good news: If God brought you to it, He can bring you through it. You’re not walking through this alone. He’s got your back—even when you trip over your own shoelaces.

[Scripture:]

Psalm 37:23-24 says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord… though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.”

[Closing encouragement:]

So smile today. Even if your hair’s a mess and your plans went sideways—God’s still in control. And He’s not done with you yet!

[Tagline:]

This has been your “Can You Spare a Minute or So?” — keep the faith and don’t forget to laugh a little today.

The last day of the month is a powerful reminder: How you end something matters just as much as how you begin.

Maybe this month wasn’t perfect. Maybe you faced challenges, missed some goals, or felt like giving up. That’s okay. What matters now is that you finish strong.

Finishing strong isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence.

It’s the decision to show up one more time. To believe again. To take another step even when you’re tired. It’s the quiet courage to say, “I’m not done yet.”

Life isn’t a sprint—it’s a journey. And every strong finish today sets the tone for a strong start tomorrow.

So take a deep breath. Lift your head. And make today count.

Here’s your motivation:

💡 “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Let June close with intention, not regret. Finish it strong—and walk into July with boldness.

You’ve got more in you than you think.

Psalms 37:23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD:
and he delighteth in his way.

Scripture:

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Hey there — can you spare a minute or so?

Let me encourage you with this: You’re not behind. Even if life hasn’t gone as planned… even if others seem farther ahead… you’re right where God can use you.

We all have different journeys. Different timing. Different battles.

Psalm 37:23 says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.”

That means your steps — even the slow ones, even the ones that feel like detours — are still in God’s hands.

So stop stressing over the timeline. You’re not late — you’re being led.

⏳ That’s your minute. Trust God’s pace — not the world’s pressure.

Inside each of us is a spark—a passion, a dream, a purpose. But life has a way of trying to dim that fire. Setbacks, distractions, disappointments—they come like cold winds to smother what was once burning bright.

But hear this clearly: Your fire still burns.

Maybe it’s flickering, maybe it’s low, but it’s still there. And with just a little fuel—faith, action, and belief—it can blaze again.

No matter your age, your circumstances, or your past mistakes, it’s not too late. You can still pursue what sets your soul on fire. You can still rise. You can still impact the world around you in a powerful way.

Reignite your purpose today. Stir up that passion. Take one step toward the thing that lights you up.

Today’s spark:

💡 “A small flame can light a thousand others without losing its glow.”

Be that light. Be that fire. And don’t let anything—or anyone—put it out.
