“The art of listening: A Special Gift Inside”

If you’ve found yourself stuck lately, don’t panic. Today’s Daily Dose might be the tow truck your soul needs.

While attending college, I took an oral communications class to learn how to speak more effectively. The goal was to learn how to present ideas, communicate clearly, and share information with others. But as life went on, I discovered something even more valuable than speaking well.

I discovered that I have the gift and the power of listening.

Many people have told me about their lives, their problems, their hopes, and their failures over the years. While one can learn to speak in a classroom, God bestows a special gift on those who truly listen. Listening requires patience, compassion, and a heart that cares about what someone else is going through.

Sometimes people don’t need a lecture, advice, or a long speech. Sometimes they simply need someone who will slow down, look them in the eye, and truly hear them.

I thank God for placing that special gift inside of me. Being a good listener allows me to understand people better, encourage them, and remind them that their voice matters.

Today, remember this:
Your greatest gift might not be what you say, but how well you listen. Speaking is an art, but listening is a gift.

Don't miss the message while trying to figure out Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a fantastic Friday.

The Daily Dose

“It's in my heart to serve.”

One of the most comforting things to know is that God already has a plan for our lives. Even when life feels uncertain, the Bible reminds us that He is guiding our path.

📖 Psalm 37:23
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”

📖 Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

While I was putting away the laundry the other day, the song “It’s In My Heart” suddenly popped into my head. When moments like that happen, I’ve learned not to take them for granted. I used to brush them off, but now I recognize them as spiritual downloads. God often uses those moments to comfort and remind me that He is still ordering my steps.

We may not always understand why certain doors open or close, but God sees the full picture. Our job is simply to trust Him and keep walking by faith.

Today’s Dose:
Trust God with your steps. His plan is already in motion.

Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Let's go!

“I Need Enemies”

Psalm 110:1 reminds us that God can make our enemies our footstool.

Book of Proverbs 16:7 says when our ways please the Lord, He can even make our enemies be at peace with us.
The other day I made a list of things I need—air, food, shelter, lights, water, and transportation. But I realized I left something off the list.

I need enemies.

That may sound strange, but enemies keep me praying. They keep me humble. They keep me on my knees.

In ancient times, a king would place his foot on the neck of a defeated enemy as a sign of victory. What tries to defeat you can become what elevates you.

If something feels just out of reach, you use a footstool.

Spiritually, God can use opposition as the very thing that lifts you closer to Him.

Turn pain into praise. Let God fight your battles. What was meant to harm you may be the very thing God uses to raise you up.

Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a terrific Tuesday. Let’s go!

God’s Battle Axe

Scripture: Book of Jeremiah 51:20
“Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms.”

When we hear the words "battle-axe," we often think about a heavy weapon used in war. But in the Bible, the term is used to describe something much deeper. It refers to being a tool in the hands of God.

An axe by itself has no power. It cannot swing itself. It cannot cut down a tree on its own. The power of the axe comes from the one holding it.

While praying recently, the song “He’s a Battle Axe” was dropped into my spirit. The song served as a reminder that Jesus is my steadfast ally during challenging times. He gives me the strength to cut through challenges, break strongholds, and overcome obstacles in my life.

God often uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Throughout the Bible, He used shepherds, fishermen, farmers, and even former enemies to accomplish His purpose. They were simply tools willing to be used.

The real question is not whether God has power. The question is whether we are available.

Just as an axe needs to maintain its sharpness to be effective, we too must maintain our spiritual sharpness through prayer, Scripture reading, and spending quality time with the Lord. When we do, God can use us to cut through confusion, break strongholds, and help others find their way.

Today, remember this simple truth:

The axe does not get the credit. The one holding the axe does.

But what a privilege it is to be employed by God—and to understand that Jesus Himself serves as our guiding light during challenging times.

“People Make the World Go Round”

One of my favorite things to do is observe people—their behavior, their patterns, their actions, and their communication styles. People are fascinating if you take the time to truly watch and listen.

Sometimes I notice how people move their hands when they talk. At times, I observe how their body language amplifies their spoken words. Many times, people are communicating things without even realizing it. Their posture, their tone, and their expressions are all telling a story.

But the one thing I observe the most is a person’s eyes.

The Bible tells us that the eyes are the window to the soul. A person’s eyes can often be the doorway to their thoughts. You can sometimes see joy, pain, peace, worry, or excitement without a single word being spoken.

Eyes can smile.
Eyes can reveal concern.
Eyes can show sincerity—or sometimes hesitation.

If you pay close attention, you will discover that the eyes often say what the mouth never does.

People truly make the world go round, and every day we are surrounded by stories walking past us. Sometimes all it takes is slowing down long enough to notice them.
And remember… the eyes have it.

Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a wonderful weekend. Let's go!

The Daily Dose – “Daily Dose Cool Down”

This is the day the Lord has made—and He didn’t make it by accident. If you woke up this morning, it means God still has a purpose for your life.

Wake up with gratitude.
Wake up with expectation.
Wake up knowing that with breath in your body, God still has a plan in motion.

So don’t hit the snooze button on your blessings. Step into this day with joy, peace, and renewed strength.

Turn on that smooth jazz playlist, relax your mind, and move through the day with grace and confidence.

Stretch. Smile. Speak life. Walk boldly.
You made it to see this day—now live it.

Don’t miss the message while trying to figure out Messenger. Stay with me… I’m going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a thankful day. Let’s go!

I Haven’t Forgotten You
Daily Dose Family,

Please know this — I haven’t forgotten about you.

There are times of the month when I have to switch gears and focus on putting the finishing touches on the newspaper.

Right now, it’s crunch time for me, and as many of you know, when you’re building something meaningful, there are moments that require extra attention and extra hours.

But don’t mistake my silence for absence.

Whenever I get a break in my day, I may be able to drop a Daily Dose on you guys. In the meantime, bear with me. I’m still here, still inspired, and still committed to bringing you encouragement, motivation, something to think about and some good music playlist.

I’ll be back in full stride soon.

Stay tuned.
