If I am wise or strong or rich, it is because God made me that way. He is the Lord. I am not.
Lord, thank you for all that I have and help me to always give You the credit.
This is what the LORD says: The wise must not boast in his wisdom; the mighty must not boast in his might; the rich must not boast in his riches. But the one who boasts should boast in this, that he understands and knows Me—that I am the LORD, showing faithful love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things. Jeremiah 9:23-24

"For although we are walking in the flesh, we do not wage war in a fleshly way, since the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
It is easy to fight someone we can see. It is very difficult to fight a ghost. A ghost can see us but we can't seem it. Our thoughts are "ghosts". We need God to have a fair fight. Lord, help me to understand and manage my thoughts so that I may better follow You. "The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, 'Samuel! Samuel!' Then Samuel said, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.'" 1 Samuel 3:10
We listen to all kinds of voices. Not only from people around us but also from what we read and from what we view, not to mention the voices in our own head. The only voice that really matters is the voice of God. Lord, help me to take the time to listen to You and to value Your voice above all others. "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
Life is more than merely breathing. A purposeful life is much more than breathing. We must forget the things that anchor us to our past and that keep us from moving forward. We also must be intentional on a daily basis to pursue the goals that matter. Lord, help me to love You enough to press forward. |
