“For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.”
Mark 4:22 (NKJV)

DECEMBER 14 - Finally alone, the handsome young couple sits inside the car, staring at one another, talking in hushed tones. “Will you marry me?” Surprised by his nervous tone but not that taken aback, the pony-tailed-blonde studies the young man’s unmistakably serious eyes. “It’s a little too soon, don’t you think?” Clutching her hand, he wasn’t sure if he could wait—not even one more minute! “You think it’s too soon? We’ve been going together now for five weeks; isn’t that enough time?” “Of course not, silly,” replied the pretty blonde. “I have to get to know you more—we need a little more time.”

Whether it is the character of another, a particular hidden lie that seemingly slips by, or talents that lie dormant within one’s heart, none go on without one day being revealed. “Proving time” is something
with which we struggle in society today. We have been brainwashed into thinking that everything has to be right now, whether it be as simple as a meal, a desired relationship, a business decision, or ministry
opportunity.

We probably have all come to notice that many of the mistakes people make are simply because they didn’t allow time to reveal the truth of their situation. Through our unwillingness to wait and allow time to prove the truth, we have made some bad choices. If we desire to see a new and bright future, we must allow time to reveal any truth that now seems to be hidden.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that You are not slack concerning Your promises. If You said it, I have confidence knowing You will do it. I know You will bring all things to light concerning decisions I need to make.

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.
• Character prefers the rejection of men to the disappointment of Heaven.
• 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!
