“For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook will pass from the law until all things are accomplished.”
Matthew 5:18 (AMP)

OCTOBER 27 - “Sweetheart, what are you doing with those scissors; you’re not starting one of those big craft projects of yours again, are you?” Giving her husband a cheery glance, “No craft projects today, it’s your shirt that I’m concerned about.” Peering down towards his stomach, “What’s wrong with my shirt?” Snipping the thread that had been hanging there through several washings, “That string needed to be cut
for days; I can’t believe you didn’t see it.” Shrugging his shoulders…I guess some things are just more important than others.

Detailed living is very important. So what does it mean to be a
detailed individual? To be detail orientated is to be one who sees
what others do not; it is the one who is concerned about quality
and not just finishing. How do we become a detailed individual?

• We become a detailed person through the power of choice.
• We must decide to be detailed.
• We must pay very close attention to the small things, because details pass by those who are unwilling to notice them.

When you hear an instruction, follow it through precisely as it was communicated. As we place an importance on the seemingly nonimportant issues of life, we are prepared for the big things when they
come our way.

Father, I thank You for calling me to pay close attention to detail. I place a high importance on quality, not just quantity. Excellence manifests itself to me because day and night I keep my eyes focused on the details of life.

Character: Building A Godly Foundation for A Successful Life - CD Series

A house built on a faulty foundation soon becomes unfit to live in. Shifting soil causes cracks in the foundation, and those cracks lead to costly damage. Think of the trouble that could be avoided if only the foundation were repaired!

Character is the foundation of your life; you can save yourself a lifetime of grief if you will honestly inspect your character, making sure it is built firmly upon the strong, immovable foundation of God’s principles. Dr. Robb Thompson shares many of these valuable principles in this dynamic series – principles such as:

• It’s not what you say that matters, but what you do that makes all the difference.

• It is impossible for your life to produce anything beyond the strength of your moral fiber.

Let Dr. Thompson help you explore what God has to say about pursuing excellent character. Then start building a rock-solid, Godly character that will lead you to God’s highest for your life.

“For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, and that of which I am afraid befalls me.”
Job 3:25 (AMP)

OCTOBER 26 - Jesus’ thoughts were constantly upon the people—what they were thinking, how they interpreted His teachings, how much faith was in their hearts, having compassion over them as mere flesh. Even so, it was necessary for Jesus to move precisely in the direction of His most dominant thought—that of bringing salvation to the world. We always move in the direction of our most dominant thought. If those thoughts are fear driven, then that is what we experience. But if those thoughts are driven by the Word of God, we experience the fulfilled promises of God. We must build up a great resistance toward mediocre living.

The reason many resist growth is because they fear change. Satan attempts to sow fear into every aspect of our lives, but God’s love casts out all fear. Embrace the fact that He loves you so much that He walks with you step by step until you see the changes in your life that you so deeply desire.

God called all of us to the pursuit of excellence; that seed already dwells within us. It would do well for us to commit to pursue it every day of our lives. When we do, we soon see change that lasts a lifetime.

Father, I thank You for allowing me access to Your thoughts. I refuse to allow myself to live in mediocrity any longer. I choose to exchange my thoughts for Your thoughts. I desire transformation.

“Make the very most of the time because the days are evil.”
Ephesians 5:16 (AMP)

OCTOBER 25 - “Where did the time go?” Glancing at the kitchen clock, after making breakfast, showering, and tidying up the house, she couldn’t believe it, but it was almost noon! Suddenly she remembered—the morning news program had a fashion show, and then her sister called about the family birthday party on Saturday. Before anyone realized it…

If we desire to improve any area of our life, we must be willing to consciously choose how and where we spend our time. Time is the essence that makes up our life. Ultimately, it is who we are and what we do. Think of time as a form of currency or exchange. Spending one’s time unwisely surely brings unprofitable results. One cannot change his or her life while neglecting to make a decision to think like God.

As we make a committed decision to meditate upon God’s Word and do what is written, we possess an inner knowing that our life is in line with His will. And when our time is invested wisely, we reap an abundant and beneficial harvest.

Father, I thank You that I choose to spend my time wisely; no longer do I allow life to choose for me. No longer do I waste my time, but I continually use my time to produce the life You desire for me.
