This Devotional is in line with 6am Prayer today!!

"I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.”
JOB 23:12 (NIV – NEW INTERNATIONALS VERSION) 
The Bible Is—God Speaking to You

Psychologists are agreed on this point: people only keep doing what rewards them! So when Bible reading becomes unrewarding, we quit. As a result we feel guilty, and become spiritually weak and discouraged.

Your soul can no more thrive without God’s Word, than your body can thrive without a daily intake of food. The Bible says, “He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord” (Dt 8:3 NIV).

One of the dangers of the iPhone is that you begin to live on “hits” of information and short messages limited to 140 characters or less. This creates spiritual ADD (attention deficit disorder). God cannot be reduced to a limited word count or a few hurried moments in your day. To prosper, you must meditate day and night on the Scriptures (See Ps 1:1-3).

You say, “But I don’t have time to read the Bible.” How much time do you spend each day watching television? Hours? If you find television to be rewarding, but not God’s Word, your soul is in need of intensive care! If you want to change your life, change your habits and start reading the Bible. Job, who had more trouble than any of us will ever see, said, “I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.”

National Thank You Month – January

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself.” Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief
 
 
 
As adults, we sometimes forget to be thankful.  We often focus on the difficulties and on the things that are not going right, and sometimes we lose sight of the things that are going well and the blessings that we have received.
 
 
 
Tips For Celebrating National Thank You Month:
  • Make a list of all that you are thankful for in your worklife and personal life.  Be specific.  True blessings are the things in your life that resonate importance and touch your core.
  • Look at that list when you are feeling down and use it to pick up your spirits and keep you moving forward
Life is never perfect and there are always more mountains to climb.  But remember what you have achieved and never forget the blessings that you have received along the way.
