MONDAY: There is no other God who is able to deliver in this way. - Daniel 3:29
That's what the world is waiting for; somebody who'll 'put everything on the line,' and let the world see God's power. The question is - are you that person?
TUESDAY: Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you , not seven times, but seventy-seven times.' - Matthew 18:21-22 Always allow others room to turn around. Everybody deserves a chance to change, so allow them to do so. When the pressure's on, things come to the surface in all of us and it's so easy to say the wrong thing, arrive at the wrong conclusion and make the wrong decision. Don't force others to live by their past, while you expect yours to be forgiven and forgotten.
WEDNESDAY: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. - Matthew 5:7
When it comes to relationships, everybody makes mistakes. Give them a chance to come back into the relationship with dignity.
THURSDAY: It matters very little to me what you think of me...the master makes that judgment. - 1 Corinthians 4: 1
God begins building something more dependent on His anointing than on your ability. It's a relief to be out of a race for reputation!
FRIDAY: I (Apostle Paul speaking) didn't try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest philosophy. I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who He is; then Jesus and what He did. - 1 Corinthians 2:2 If you want to get out of the reputation race, first, stop taking yourself so seriously. If you're worried about what others think of you - relax. They're probably not thinking about you at all!
SATURDAY: Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them. - Matthew 7:12 Turn your accomplishments into challenges. Use them as building blocks - not pedestals to rest on. You haven't 'arrived' yet, so keep pressing on!
SUNDAY: Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. - Joshua 24:15
Settle the issue of commitment before the challenge arises or you'll falter in the hour of decision. The battle is won before the battle is begun.
