“But if you keep looking steadily into God’s perfect law—the law that sets you free—and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.”
James 1:25 (NLT)

JUNE 8 - The Jews intended to believe in the Messiah. They also intended to follow God with all their hearts, intending to learn the Scriptures and the prophecies therein. But obviously, many of them failed to do so
since they crucified the very same Messiah that was eagerly awaited for so many generations. Their intentions faltered—big time!

The blessing of God comes to the person who follows through with his intentions. While we may think our good intentions should bring us promotion, it’s only when there is real progress that we can expect promotion in life. Dormant intentions only serve as a source of frustration.

We must avoid the temptation to believe that we are being cheated or treated unfairly when we don’t receive promotion, even though we have such grandiose intentions. So, where do we begin?

• First, let us admit that we have ample room to grow in this area.

• Second, let us determine which of our good intentions deserve our concentrated attention.

• Third, let us pull out all the stops and go after a solid performance, measuring our success by our actions, and no longer by our mere intentions.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I look steadily into Your perfect law, the law that sets me free. Help me to always be a doer of Your Word, and I know that I am blessed because of it.

“Intelligent people are always open to new ideas. In fact, they look for them.”
Proverbs 18:15
“The wise person makes learning a joy; fools spout only foolishness.”
Proverbs 15:2

JUNE 6 - At the time of Christ’s birth, Rome had illustriously become the world’s alternative to God. As the master of the world, Rome began to fall into unearned wealth through slavery, immorality, laziness, and obsession with worldly pleasures. They had achieved much, but learned little. Wisdom in the Roman Empire was as scarce as the reading of the Law. As Christians, however, we can be so grateful to God for where He takes us. He gave us wisdom and insight from His Word that we otherwise could not discover. Our present situation is a reflection of how well we use the knowledge God gave us. Nevertheless, if we are to achieve more, we need to learn more.

Knowledge—it floods today’s world with the force of the Seven Seas! The trouble we have is deciding what we want to learn, and then devoting ourselves explicitly to it. The best way to solve this dilemma is to determine what you really need in order to be more successful at your current assignment.

Your goal is never simply raw information. On the contrary, you must refine raw information into wisdom and understanding in order to apply it to your life. From there, the sky is the limit! Make the choice to dedicate yourself to learn what it takes to excel in a specific area of life. Don’t look back. Once you make the choice, stick to your commitment.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You for helping me hear new ideas and put them into practice.
