“The governors reported to the vice-regents, who made sure that everything was in order for the king. But Daniel, brimming with spirit and intelligence, so completely outclassed the other vice-regents and governors that the king decided to put him in charge of the whole kingdom.”
Daniel 6:1-3 (The Message)

JUNE 11 - Read again how The Message says in Daniel 6:3, “…Daniel…so completely out-classed the other[s]…” That’s pretty impressive. I hope the same can be said of me. Do my spirit and my attitude put me head and shoulders above others? It is erroneous to think that we can accomplish all that God has planned for us without becoming the absolute best we can be in our chosen field of endeavor. The Scriptures tell us that we are to do everything as if we were doing it for the Lord Jesus Christ. We actually contradict God’s Word when we allow ourselves to slump into mediocrity or just-good-enough performances.

Once Joseph was fully persuaded that Mary would give birth to the Messiah, he did his best as an earthly Jewish father—carefully watching over mother and Son, taking the Child to the temple, and following God through specific dreams. God demanded Joseph’s best, and His grace empowered Joseph to accomplish it. God’s life within us demands our very best, and His grace empowers us to give it!

There is no way around it; God wants our best, and that’s what will take us to the next level of:

• A place of promotion
• A sphere of influence
• A life of prosperity
• A new area of fulfillment

Make the choice to move in the right direction and embrace change in your life.

Stronger Everyday - Confession CD

Dear Ladies,

In the times we live in, the temptation for us is to become weaker in most areas of life. Pressure to compromise is coming from every direction. God’s Word encourages us to stand and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Philippians tells us to press toward God’s mark. The Proverbs 31 woman is energetic and strong. Now is not the time to grow weary in well-doing.

Our strength is from the Lord. As you listen to and confess these scriptures you will be empowered with strength and able to face the pressures that come your way.

My prayer is that you grow STRONGER EVERY DAY.

Enjoy,
Linda Thompson
