“He who walks with integrity walks securely,
but he who perverts his ways will become known.”
Proverbs 10:9 (NKJV)

MARCH 21 - A number of years ago, my father, Peter Daniels, and I traveled to California to meet with Dr. Robert Schuller. Dr. Schuller proceeded to tell us how the “Golden State” was experiencing an influx of new
homebuyers. He also mentioned that when most of the people buy homes, they place great emphasis on the state’s beautiful scenery and gorgeous weather, forgetting to think about the ground upon which the house rests. (If you are not aware, most of California sits on the dreaded San Andreas Fault.)

These people failed to realize how important the foundation is to the very future of the home they so greatly desired. In the same way, character is the only sure foundation to any successful business, healthy marriage, or fulfilling life.

It is your daily decisions, constructive thoughts, and encouraging associations that firmly shape your character. Neglect a stable foundation, and whatever you build in life will soon come tumbling down as if destroyed by an earthquake. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Why not stand upon God’s Word in all that you do?

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I walk in integrity therefore I walk securely. I refuse to pervert my way, for he who perverts his way becomes known.

What Is Your Manifesto? - CD/DVD

How would you define yourself? How would you define your values? If someone were to describe you, what words would they use? How do you respond when faced with life’s most difficult situations? In this live teaching from Singapore, Dr. Robb Thompson shows you how to establish your personal manifesto. The core standards that govern your actions are essential to defining who you are before God and all of mankind. Learn today what it takes to live uncompromisingly in a compromising world.

“Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about; see for Yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—then guide me on the road to eternal life.”
Psalm 139:23-24 (MESSAGE)

MARCH 20 - Genuine servants have nothing to hide. They are not interested in any selfish gain, nor do they wear their feelings on their sleeves. Rather, they set aside their personal agenda to become whatever is necessary for the one they serve. At first, this way of thinking is very difficult to conceive. Thoughts like: “But what about me?” and “I’m not a slave!” wrestle with a person’s decision to become a servant. In time, though, a genuine servant develops a heart that really desires the best for the one being served, regardless of the personal sacrifice involved.

If we truly are servants, then no task requires more than we can bestow. Whatever it takes, that’s what we will do. In Psalm 139, the Psalmist makes himself entirely vulnerable to God. This request comes from a confident and humble heart. Confidence because he did everything he knew to do, humility because he was willing to learn what he didn’t know about himself. A genuine servant must develop these virtues as he searches for an authentic seal of approval.

Father, I thank You that You search me and know me through and through. Create inside of me all that is pleasing to You.

“Then David stood at the mouth of the cave and called to Saul, ‘My master! My king!’ Saul looked back. David fell to his knees and bowed in reverence. He called out, ‘Why do you listen to those who say ‘David is out to get you’? This very day with your very own eyes you have seen that just now in the cave God put you in my hands. My men wanted me to kill you, but I wouldn’t do it. I told them that I won’t lift a finger against my master—he’s God’s anointed.’”
1 Samuel 24:8-10 (MESSAGE)

MARCH 19 - What could possibly be a greater reason to get offended than being hunted by the one you are trying to serve? David gave his life for the king’s service—he served faithfully in the army and loyally in the
palace. In everything he did, his heart was toward Saul, and for Saul’s prosperous reign. Never did he see himself as the one who should be king in Saul’s place, though he knew very well that such would be the case one day. He entrusted himself to the hand of God, who always judges justly, and who sets kings on thrones or removes them from power.

While in the wilderness, the Jews were in constant offense. Sometimes it was Moses. Sometimes it was their environment. And most often it was God. They literally breathed an atmosphere of wretched offense.

Do you or I have any reason to get offended in light of what David endured? Have we left our family and all our desires for another’s sake? And have we, in turn, been hunted for our death? Of course not! What kept David from being offended with Saul? It was his purity of heart—he wanted what was best for the king, not what he could get from the king. If we develop that heart toward the people around us, especially our superiors, we won’t have further bouts with offense.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I love Your Word and I do not get offended. I develop a servant’s heart so that I am always free from the offense of others.

“If you keep yourself pure, you will be a utensil God can use for His purpose. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.”
2 Timothy 2:21 (NLT)

MARCH 18 - How would you react if you were in dire need of an operation, but every surgeon in town refused to take time to sterilize his equipment? Would you take the chance of being slashed open with dirty, bacterialaden instruments?

Cleanliness possesses an immeasurable worth in almost every area in of life. And since God has a specific purpose and plan for each of our lives, this unique plan can only be discovered through daily obedience
– keeping ourselves pure, clean, and ready. The moment we begin to obey is the precise moment that destiny’s door begins to swing adventurously open. The dreams and desires God has for our futures are contained within the seed of diligent obedience. It is a sad thing, but many individuals never discover what they were meant to do here on earth simply because they refuse to obey.

Satan attempts to keep the door shut tight to the room of our assignment; but God promises that our obedience is the strategic key to unlock that closed door. Heaven always uses the obedient to do great and mighty things in the earth. But before Heaven can use us, we must change our thinking from “Obedience is all God requires of me,” to, “I have an assignment and a divine purpose, and obedience will take me to it.” I believe we are of those who will do great and mighty things for our King in the earth, don’t you?

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am a pure utensil You can use for Your purpose. My life is clean, and I am ready for You to use me for every good work. I hear Your voice, and I am obedient to Your Word.

“Friendship with the Lord is reserved for those who fear Him. With them He shares the secrets of His covenant.”
Psalm 25:14 (NLT)

MARCH 17 - I hear it far too often, “Pastor, I just want to know God’s will for my life.” My simple response to them is, “What does His Word tell you to do?” Have you stopped to realize that God rarely speaks to those who are unwilling to do His Word? His will for our lives is simple—obey His Word! When Israel obeyed, eagerly and respectfully following God’s desires, things went great. But when they stubbornly ignored Him, their enemies were waiting at the front gate!

Obedience to His Word is His will for our lives. Some may say, “Well, Pastor, who am I supposed to marry… What am I supposed to do for a career…?” Obey! Obey! Obey! There is no way around it.

Obedience is the path that leads you down God’s hidden will for your life. He does not, and will not, reveal His hidden will until we first do His known will. As you journey down the path of obedience, a divine peace will capture your soul concerning the unknown will of God for your life. Refuse to follow the example of the ancient Israelites when they ignored God. Choose now to obey!

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am a doer of Your Word and I am continually transformed. I choose to obey having complete confidence that Your unknown will for my life will be manifest.

“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”
Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV)

MARCH 16 - The final item on the Passover table is something called charoses. Charoses is made from ground apples, red wine, cinnamon, and sugar. This paste looks very much like mortar and represents the mortar the Israelites heaped upon the bricks when they were slaves. Charoses is the very heart of the Passover table, the seed that created Israel’s future.

The voices and thoughts that enter your mind are also seeds. You have a choice over which seeds get planted and which get rejected.Your heart becomes the fertile soil where those seeds are planted,
become mature, and produce fruit. There is no way to avoid this process of “heart germination,” for the Bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23 that this is how God designed the human heart to function. “Keep [manage, tend, protect, safeguard, watch over, preserve, chaperon, care for, be a good steward over] your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” The only way to assure good outcomes in your life is to plant good seeds inside your heart.

When I went through a difficult period in my life, it primarily occurred because early in my childhood, bad seeds were planted inside my heart, and those seeds matured, producing bad fruit. Destructive thought-seeds take root and begin to grow because you choose to believe what they say is the truth. Additionally, you even begin to believe evil concerning yourself. It is important to realize that any thought left unchallenged is established as fact. Therefore, take the abundance of seeds of God’s Word and sprinkle them onto the soil of your heart (the charoses, the mortar), give it some time, and watch it grow a bountiful and life-changing harvest.

“There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Numbers 13:33 (NKJV)

MARCH 15 - Now, please allow me to ask which of the following questions is the most important in regard to the way you see yourself:

• How others see you?
• How you see yourself?
• Or how God sees you?

At first guess you may say, how God sees me, of course! Although it is important how God views us, it doesn’t override the inner image we have of ourselves. Let me clarify. While you were living in sin, distant
from God, did God view you any different than He does right now? No, He certainly didn’t. His Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Psalm 139:17 says, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them.” God has always thought only positive things about you.

In His eyes, you are righteous. You are pure, holy, and just. But how do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as righteous, holy, pure, and just? Or do you see yourself worthless even in Christ? Do you like
yourself? Do you see yourself victorious? The Israelites saw themselves as grasshoppers, but Solomon said it like this, “As he thinks in his heart, so is he.” How God thinks about you is not the issue; it is how you think about you. Begin today to implant God’s thoughts into your internal hard drive and cultivate the self-image of Christ Himself. Only then, can you walk as Christ did.

“Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
Colossians 3:23 (NLT)

March 14 - Salt water, parsley, horseradish, and now a hard boiled egg curiously rest upon the Jewish table. Why a hard boiled egg? Rolled or roasted over a fire or stove, the egg represents the many sacrifices offered to God upon the Hebrew altar. And sacrifice comes in many ways. It is easy to understand why so many people go unrewarded in life—they rarely seem to understand the correlation between the sacrifice of solving problems that eventually leads to the sure road of promotion. Most people stop progressing upwardly the moment their present environment no longer pleases them. Our value is linked to our willingness to solve problems for those God placed over us…in our lives…at our jobs…and even in our marriage. When we begin to passionately solve problems, we receive the favor necessary to bring us the promotion we desire.

Many simply exist at their jobs and in their daily routines, sailing roughly through life’s meandering seas, unwilling to serve those around them. We can never grumble about life and expect the blessings of Heaven. Although productivity plays a great role within our lives, it is our attitude that causes our productivity to become pleasing. Everyone loves to be around an individual with a great attitude. Therefore, we must cheerfully and sacrificially solve the problems of those we serve. Let us ask: What problems can we solve for our authorities? What can we do to make their lives more productive?

The sacrificial fulfillment of these answers brings you ever-increasing promotion. Choose to be a problem solver today.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 (NKJV)

MARCH 13 - Not only was there a bitter herb set upon the Passover table, but there was also a sweet, delicate herb. Parsley is that customary herb, used to remind Jews of the sweet, peaceful incidents that no doubt occurred during their long journey to the land God prepared for them. But God cares far more about your faith than He does about your comfort. We read in 1 Peter 1:7 that trials are only tests of our faith, to show that it is strong and pure.

In Job 23:8-9, Job records his search for God, “I go east, but He is not there. I go west, but I cannot find Him. I do not see Him in the north, for He is hidden. I turn to the south, but I cannot find Him.” It could have appeared to Job that God had entirely abandoned him. All of his efforts to find God’s presence in his turmoil led to nothing until we come to verse 10, which says, “But He knows…” Job acknowledges that God knows his state, and if God knows, then He must be near!

He continues, “But He knows where I am going, and when He has tested me like gold in a fire, He will pronounce me innocent.” Do those sound like the words of an anxious, fretful man? No! His words come from a heart that is assured of God’s faithfulness even in his trouble, and because of that, great peace, as celebrated with the sweet herb, guards his heart and fixates his mind.

Let me ask you, has God ever failed you before? Even once? Then why would He fail you now? Remember His faithfulness in times past, and rest in the peace He so generously provides.

But God not only instructs us to choose our thoughts – He tells us exactly what we should think about to experience God’s best for our life!

Through hard experience and extensive study of God’s Word, Dr. Robb Thompson has learned how to replace Satan’s thoughts of fear and failure with God’s higher thoughts of life and victory.

“But they delight in doing everything the Lord wants; day and night they think about His law. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper.”
Psalm 1:2-3 (NLT)

MARCH 12 - By embracing this principle, we understand the importance of maintaining God’s presence. I personally consider the morning hour as the gauge for the rest of my day. I always begin my day by pursuing God’s presence. I then carefully maintain His presence throughout the day. The progress and success of my day is methodically linked to the time I spend with God in the morning.

A bowl of salt water sits upon every Passover table. What does it represent? The salty water represents the tears that were shed by those who made the trek to the Promised Land, the environment that would determine that the Jews were truly the people of God. We must surround ourselves with God’s presence, either by listening to the Word of God or playing worship music. Our environment determines our progress, just as getting to the Promised Land determined the progress of the Jews.

As Christians, our desire should be to intimately know God and to possess the character of Christ. To do so, we need to create the proper environment. While a farmer must cultivate the soil before planting seed, we must create an atmosphere in which our life can be shaped into the likeness of our Lord. We must make a commitment to create the environment that assures us of future progress.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or join in with scoffers. My delight and desire is in Your Word, and I habitually meditate and orally recite Your Word day and night.
