A Haughty Self

Let His mind be in yours today—when you greet your children or address the employees who report to you, or as you move through the checkout line at the grocery store or talk to your server at the restaurant.

Things That Really Matter

Take time to review your list of what you keep investing in and clasping in your hands. When was the last time you prayerfully allowed the Lord to help you set priorities for the way you invest your time and resources? Trust me, there’s no time like the present.

We’re wise to take our life direction from the Lord rather than our high school classmates. How we do what we do matters so much more to the Lord than what we do.

Pursue the way of Jesus. Accept His approach and live your life with abandon. Don’t be afraid of a few risks. Turn your back on those attitudes and stubborn patterns that prevent you from living a full life.

We quite naturally express our love for God through our emotions—easily offering praise with our words and with the affections of our hearts. But Jesus included the command to love Him with our minds, too.

That’s the whole point of greed. You’ll want more and more of something that isn’t good for you. And in the getting of it, you’ll suffer the painful consequences.

Stuck in the Past

How magnificent is grace! How sweet are the promises! How precious is God’s love! How broad is God’s mercy! How refreshing is the Lord!
