Word for Today:

1 Corinthians 9:26–27 (TPT)

I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless punches, but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control, so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified.

Reflection

God is not just interested in how well you start or how much you accomplish. He wants you to remain faithful to Him and finish your race well.

2 Timothy 2:21

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.

Word for Today:

Jeremiah 27:5 NLT

Isaiah 45:1 NIV

This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut

Word for Today:

Numbers 11:14 (MSG)

It’s easy to assume that outward success means God’s blessing, but Samson proved you can lose God's presence and not even know it. Never get so comfortable with your calling and your success that you take the One who called you for granted.

Word for Today:

1 Samuel 2:29 (NLT)

Reflection

When we choose to honor God by putting Him above human approval and personal relationships, He honors our loyalty in return and uses our lives to accomplish great things for His glory.

Word for Today:

1 Samuel 15:23 (NLT)

So because you have rejected the command of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
