“And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to.
If you don’t obey, you are only fooling yourself.”
James 1:22 (NLT)

JANUARY 19 - While the buttons on her cell phone were nearly worn off, the college girl’s new Bible (received at last year’s birthday party) lay beautifully untouched. She intended to read it every morning, just as she was encouraged by her church, but with those calls—so many friends from the neighborhood and school—there just was never enough time. Intentions never move anyone anywhere. I wonder just how many people intend to be wealthy, healthy, fulfilled, and happy—the majority I would imagine. Over the years, I have discovered only a few who turn their intention into action. Their reward is achievement.

Achievers don’t talk about what they are going to do, because they are too busy doing it. If you find yourself living by intention, I encourage you to take immediate action:

• What have you been putting off?

• Is it cleaning the house, spending time with your spouse, finishing a project?

• And what is one thing you can do immediately to move you closer toward your intended destination?

Whatever it is, do it without delay after reading and meditating upon this success key. Many people will read this with the intention of taking action but never will. I don’t believe that about you. I believe you will make the decision to put your life on the right course and take immediate action. Don’t wait another minute. Take action, and your life will never be the same again!

Many believers are unaware that they do not have to be held prisoner to the fearful, accusatory, and worrisome thoughts that race through their mind on a daily basis. Since these thoughts sound like their own inner voices, people entertain them and then find themselves tormented by guilt, fear, rejection, anger, and unforgiveness.

But God not only instructs us to choose our thoughts – He tells us exactly what we should think about in order to experience His best for our lives! Through hard experience and extensive study of God’s Word, Dr. Robb Thompson has learned how to replace the devil’s thoughts of fear and failure with God’s higher thoughts of life and victory. Now he passes this vital lesson on to you. So get ready to take control of your thought life. It’s time to renovate your mind with the Word of God!
