"Christ.makes all of its parts work perfectly." Eph 4:16 CEV You have probably heard that unless you're the lead dog, the view seldom changes. The problem is, however, not everybody can be the leading man or woman. And it's better to be a working actor than an out-of-work star; at least you get to be in the play! Besides, most great achievers, if they are honest, will tell you...

"Teach us to use wisely all the time we have." Ps 90:12 CEV We all get the same twenty-four hours every day. That's 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds. And we "must give an account to God" for how we use them (See Ecc 11:9 NLT). A good place to start is by asking yourself, "How would I spend the next twenty-four hours if I knew I would stand before God tomorrow?" Y...

"Many. say of me, 'There is no help for him.'" Ps 3:2 NKJV A Christian leader writes: "Oliver Goldsmith was born the son of a poor preacher in Ireland in the 1700s. Growing up, he wasn't a great student. In fact, his schoolmaster labeled him a 'stupid blockhead! He did manage to earn a college degree, but he finished at the bottom of his class. He was unsure of w...

You are snarea ny une woras oT your mouth." Pr 6:2 NKJV A noted psychiatrist remarked that two of the saddest words in human vocabulary are "if only." He believes people who get trapped by their failures spend their lives saying, "If only I had tried harder...if only I had been kinder to my kids...if only I had been more truthful...if only..." The way to change that mindse...

"Whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle." Heb 11:34 NIV The writer of Hebrews said: "I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets..whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies" (vv. 32, 34 NIV).

"There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Pr 18:24 NIV Cicero said, "Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief." The fact is, it's impossible to have more than a few close friends, because true friendship takes time, attention, and commitment. "One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin...

"Wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it." Pr 8:11 NLT To keep learning and growing, you must recognize these: (1) Successful people view learning differently than unsuccessful people. Joshua learned from Moses. Timothy learned from Paul. Who have you chosen to learn from? Author Sydney J. Harris wrote: "A winner knows how much he still has to...

"Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord." Ps 127:3 CEV A Christian psychologist writes: "Several months ago I talked to a man who described one of the most painful experiences of his life.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says." Rev 2:11 NKJV You can read the same Scripture on different occasions, and it will speak to you in totally different ways. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is attributed with saying, "You never step into the same river twice." And you never read the same Bible verse the same way twice. That is a testament to its heavenly Au...

"See how good the Lord is. Happy is the person who trusts him." Ps 34:8 NCV What you believe about God is crucial to the quality of your life, especially in difficult times. So, starting today, tell yourself, "God is good-all the time," and keep saying it until it gets down into your spirit. What does it mean to be "good?" It means living up to the best and highest on...

"Hear Me, everyone, and understand." Mk 7:14 NKJV Jesus said, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand." He spoke life-changing words, but He understood that preoccupied minds don't always listen too well. Are you a good listener? (1) If you're a leader, do you listen to your followers? The kind of leaders people want to follow do more than conduct business when they intera...

"Though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them." Ps 62:10 NIV Let's settle it once and for all. If God can trust you with money, He will bless you financially (See 2Co 9:6-11 NIV).  But His blessings come with certain conditions, and here are four you need to honor.  (1) Don't try to claim credit. God told the Israelites, "You may say to yourself. My hands hav...

"As we live in God, our love grows more perfect." 1Jn 4:17 NLT In today's culture, the word "love" means different things to different people. You can love your husband or wife, your country, your dog, your new cell phone, and your car. But you don't love your husband or wife the same way you love your cell phone or your car, right? The television and tabloid kind of...

"If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles." Mt 5:41 NIV Jesus said, "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles." Roman soldiers were permitted to force a Jew to carry a burden a mile for them. They treated Jews as tools to be used. However, in those days, a Roman soldier was likely to be very young, a stranger in the city, poor, and deeply r...

"Then I saw 'a new neaven and a new earth."" Rev 21:1 NIV Perhaps the reason many of us are not as excited about heaven as we should be is because of what we have been told; that we will stand around playing harps, singing songs, and worshiping God forever. Think about it. When the singing and prayers in the average Sunday-morning service last longer than fifteen minutes, many...

"David gave...Solomon...the plans of all that the Spirit had put in his mind for the..temple of the Lord." 1Ch 28:11-12 NIV The first Jewish temple ranks as one of the architectural wonders of the ancient world.

A father's blessing was a cherished institution, but its effectiveness rested on th...
