“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)

MARCH 7 - 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 ran this race before us. This blueprint shows us the reward of a life filled with wisdom.

The only times we have breakdowns in our lives is simply because we missed, disobeyed, or disregarded an instruction. We basically missed an ingredient in the recipe of life. However, when we follow the instructions of the Master and do what He says, we can expect a life of fulfillment and peace with others.

Remember, failure comes only to those who do not choose the narrow pathway that leads to success. Today, why not strive for the application of the wisdom of God and watch how your life is transformed and blessed!

Daily Confession

Father, I listen to Your Word and I do what You say. I live a life guided by wisdom; I won’t limp or stumble as I run. I carry out Your instructions and guard them for they lead me to a fulfilled life.

“When you obey Me, you remain in My love, just as I obey My Father and remain in His love.”
John 15:10 (NLT)

MARCH 3 -By omitting the essential ingredient of obedience, we cannot exhibit the confidence, boldness, and liberty needed to maintain an intimate relationship with God. Our obedience is vital to the maintenance of daily fellowship with God because He cannot continue a relationship with anyone who is unwilling to comply with His instructions. Unfortunately, people continually attempt to have a relationship with God while they live in sin. God does not “incline His ear” nor does He open His mouth to any individual who omits obedience to His Word from his daily spiritual faire. Hasn’t God called us to live
overcoming and supernatural lives? Indeed. Therefore, He intensely desires to have an intimate relationship with all His children, but only by way of the compelling ingredient of obedience is that made possible.

The more we obey God, the closer we begin to walk with Him. What a privilege it is to have fellowship with God as we intimately hear and willingly carry out what He instructs. Let us never take for granted the grace that has been shown to us. Obedience—never fellowship with God without it!

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that as I obey Your Word, I have the confidence, boldness, and liberty to maintain an intimate relationship with Jesus. I remain in Your love because I obey Your Word.

Improving Your Inner Image - CD

The moment we accepted Christ, we were crucified with Him, and He gave us a new identity. The only way we can ever truly live a life of obedience is by embracing the true image we have in Him. As we continue to meditate upon the truths of God’s Word concerning our identity, we soon respond with confidence and faith in God.

God has good plans for your life. To accomplish His plans, it is vitally important to see yourself as God sees you. He sees you as a winner! He believes in you and gave you the tools you need to experience a happy and fulfilling life.

To help you discover those tools, Dr. Robb and Linda Thompson share this teaching, which was recorded during their missions outreach to India. These inspiring messages will help to transform your thinking, so that you can walk in victory and joy! Now is the time to experience all God has for you – through this teaching, Dr. Robb and Linda Thompson show you how.

“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.”

Mark 8:35 (NKJV)

FEBRUARY 25 - Here are two extraordinary questions for you to carefully consider:

• Why do I want what I want?
• How could I even suppose my own desires could compare with the desires God divinely prepared for me?

Now, here are some possibilities:

Pride—Individuals with a proud heart won’t admit they still cling to their own desires. They convince themselves that their own way of doing things is correct, superior, and even Godly.

Comfort—Whatever God leads us to will be great, but it will not be comfortable. People stop surrendering their will to God when the next step requires sacrificing more comfort than they are willing to accept.

Misunderstanding—It is impossible for people to surrender their desires when they don’t believe in God’s goodness. Those who view God as a traditional dictator (as opposed to a benevolent king) never understand that the scope of God’s plan is infinitely more wonderful than a personal dream.

God firmly prohibited the Jews from charging interest on loans of silver, chattel, or produce. Nonetheless, selfish moneychangers often consented to this desire for greed, in direct disregard of the law. Do you currently have a difficult time trying to let go of your own selfish desires? Have you dealt with pride, comfort, or misunderstanding in your life? Deal with it today. Make sure you ask God to search your heart and divest you of any desires that are contrary to Him.

Daily Confession

Father, I realize my life is worth nothing unless I use it to do the work assigned to me by You—the work of telling others the Good News about Your wonderful kindness and love.

Winning The Heart Of God - Book

What is the ultimate prize that this world has to offer? The Nobel Peace Prize? An Oscar? A Super Bowl ring? A lucrative recording contract?

Certainly you can find all types of contests in which to compete and a host of valuable prizes to covet in today’s society. But in this book, Dr. Robb Thompson tells you how to win the ultimate prize of life – the heart of your Heavenly Father.

Using illustrations from the lives of Biblical men and women, Dr. Thompson vividly portrays what it means to be a person after God’s own heart. In the process, he tackles the all-important topics of submission and covenant loyalty – scriptural concepts that are frequently shunned and swept under the collective rug in Christendom today.

As Dr. Thompson so succinctly asks, “What else do you have in life, if you don’t have the heart of the Father?” That’s a question only you can answer for yourself. Pursue the prize of your Father’s heart, and watch everything else in your life fall into place (Matthew 6:33).

“Samuel replied, ‘Has the Lord as much pleasure in your burnt offerings
and sacrifices as in your obedience? Obedience is far better than sacrifice.
He is much more interested in your listening to Him than
in your offering the fat of rams to Him.’”
1 Samuel 15:22 (TLB)

FEBRUARY 11 - Obedience is the only thing God ever explicitly requires. Although a faithful and loving God, precious few are quick to obey His instructions. On occasion, what God tells us may seem utterly illogical, or brutally disappointing. It may also, at diverse times, keep us from getting something we desire. Yet, it is not until we obey Him without restraint that our obedience infiltrates Heaven with its pleasant aroma.

The apostle Paul instructs us to “present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service.” We must give up claim to our childish wants, individual desires, and selfish reasoning so we can stalwartly obey our Lord.

God delights in our obedience, and requires us to conform to His instruction. The obedience we offer Him far exceeds our daily sacrifice, since God does not ask us to make a grand sacrifice; He simply requests daily obedience in the little things. That is the only sacrifice He is pleased to accept; it is the way He crafted us.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am willing and obedient and I eat the best of the land. I understand that You delight in obedience far more than any sacrifice I can offer. I choose to obey Your instruction, for my desire is to please You.

“But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you…”
Deuteronomy 28:15 (NKJV)

FEBRUARY 4 - Although God desires to reward us all, He says in Deuteronomy 28:15, “If you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God…these curses will come upon you and overtake you.” If you and I disobey, we are severed like a weed from God’s hand of blessing. You can alter your future by applying Godly principles to your life. You cannot expect any future contrary to the principles you live. The principles you enjoy today crucially determine the future you experience tomorrow.

If you want financial security, there are specific principles to which you must adhere. If you desire to walk in divine health, there are also principles you must follow. Whatever future you desire, you must apply the principles that bring those desires to pass. In order to continue any future progress, you must have a system by which you evaluate your progress, and that is what obedience to God’s Word does for you.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am obedient to Your Word and I am careful to observe Your ways. I thank You that I walk in Your blessings all the days of my life.

“Now the Lord had said to Abram: ‘Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you’ …so Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him.”
Genesis 12:1, 4 (NKJV)

JANUARY 25 - Psalm 37:23 tells us, “The steps of the Godly are directed by the Lord, for He delights in every detail of their lives.” When a young child takes his first steps, unexpected things happen—misshapen movements, irregular strides, and hard falls. But as this same child listens to tender, reassuring parental instruction, he gets back up. Almost every parent loves to cheer on their child as they take those initial steps.

God does not and cannot direct the steps of everyone; only those who choose to comply, those who listen with ready ears to His instructions. We see a man in Genesis who chose to comply with the voice of God. God commanded Abram to travel to a place about which he knew nothing. Abram’s response was immediate, unparalleled obedience. Because of Abram’s readiness to act, God was able to direct his steps. Not every path the Lord leads you on is freshly paved, bordered with colorful flowers, and totally detour free—actually, quite the opposite is true. Nevertheless, God’s paths consistently lead you to an abundant harvest.

Remember, Heaven can only direct the steps of the individual who is willing to act upon God’s Word, but we must choose to immediately obey His promptings. As we quickly comply to Heaven’s orders by taking those first steps of obedience with the innocence of a young child, we experience God’s mighty hand of precise direction, abundant provision, and steadfast protection.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You for directing my steps so that no sin comes upon my life. Thank You that You delight in every detail of my life. I act upon Your Word, knowing that Your mighty hand directs me.
