“My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths. If you live a life guided by wisdom, you won’t limp or stumble as you run. Carry out my instructions; don’t forsake them. Guard them, for they will lead you to a fulfilled life.”
Proverbs 4:10–13 (NLT)

NOVEMBER 13 - Cicero, Illinois – (c. 1925) While mercilessly teased at the electric plant where she worked, the immigrant teenager did not relent; she read her Bible at lunch, no matter what. It didn’t matter that they
dubbed her, “Holy Helen;” “Here comes Holy Helen,” they taunted. “She’s reading her Bible all the day long.” But beginning in her teenage years, all the way until her death in 1980, Helen’s life was successful— spiritually, emotionally, socially, and personally.

The Word of God constantly points us in the direction of success in all areas of life. We have the blueprint of success achieved by the men and women of God who, like Helen, faithfully ran this race before us. This blueprint shows us the reward of a life filled with wisdom. The only time we have breakdowns in our lives is simply because we miss, disobey, or disregard an instruction. We basically miss an ingredient in the recipe of life and our cookies burn. However, when we follow the instructions of the Master and do what He says, we can only expect a life of fulfillment and peace with others.

Remember, satisfaction comes only to those who choose the narrow pathway that leads to success. Today, let us strive for the application of the wisdom of God and watch how our lives are transformed and blessed.

Daily Confession

“Peter said, ‘I swear by God, I don’t know the man.’ And immediately the rooster crowed.”
Matthew 26:74 (NLT)

“Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd, ‘Listen carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake about this.’”
Acts 2:14 (NLT)

MAY 22 - One of the things I enjoy most about the Word of God is the fact that God customarily uses men and women exactly like you and me. In God’s Word are numerous accounts of great men and women who failed, made mistakes here and there, but tenaciously refused to quit and give up. Joseph, the husband of Jesus’ mother, Mary, almost failed, thinking of leaving Mary upon discovering that she was about to have a child. However, following a divine visitation, Joseph passionately pushed through his nagging doubts, refusing to yield to impending failure of what God desired for him to accomplish.

Proverbs tells us, “Though a righteous man falls seven times, he gets back up.” I have a question for you – how are you going to respond the next time you fail? The reason I ask is because you have a strategic choice in the matter, just as Joseph did. See, we make far too many hasty, unwise decisions during the ardent heat of the battle. Instead, we must make the uncompromising decision today how we are going to respond to life’s setbacks.

Our progress only continues if we steadily refuse to allow failure to hold us down. Remember, God does not call the perfect; He calls the willing and obedient.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am not a failure and I refuse to allow life’s setbacks to hold me down. I do not quit! I diligently push through troubles of tomorrow. I am perfect in Christ.

“What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come to be.
I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; instead, only trouble comes.”
Job 3:25-26 (NLT)

FEBRUARY 13 - Born with the rare defect of fused legs, sometimes known as the “mermaid syndrome,” the Peruvian parents of this otherwise vivacious little girl did not fear. Instead, they allowed doctors to perform the risky surgery of separating her tiny legs, the outcome a great success. And it’s no wonder – they had named the child Milagros, focusing upon the “miracle” that they believed would ultimately come to pass.

But rather than dwelling upon the good things of life, Job began to focus on loss. His broken focus invited fear to show its menacing face, which is why he candidly declared, “What I have always feared has happened to me.” Though Job was a righteous man in every aspect, when he decided to focus on the expressed possibility of losing his splendor, he opened the shabby door of fear to overtake him.

Do you live in fear? Do you focus on the possibility of negative things coming to your life? If you choose to focus on the “what-ifs” of life, you’ll persistently exist as a hostage to fear, incarcerated within the solitary prison of pessimistic dread. Conversely, Jesus did something quite different. The “what-ifs” were of no concern to Him. He trusted in the faithfulness of God—confidently recognizing that He himself was able to determine the outcome of His life.

Remember, God is the one who calls into existence what never existed before. You can do the same. So change your focus today, and believe with the fervor of little Milagros’ parents, directing your sights completely upon the God who will never, ever fail.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that You are my God and that You care for me.
I choose to focus on Your promises of eternal life even while I live in this world.
