Today's Scripture Passage: Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Today's Scripture Message:
While externally, a “win” is gratifying and a “loss” can be upsetting it is always the effort that is the cause that predicates the effect. In all that you do put forth your best effort. It is in that effort that lessons are learned, strides are made, discoveries are realized, understanding is increased and knowledge and wisdom is discerned and dispensed. In effort internally, there is no failure, when insight, growth and self improvement are the goal – everything done with the greatest of intent is always a step in the right direction.
Prayer for the day:
Father, keep me focused on the effort made every day to improve what I do, who I am and how I live, making way for all that I can accomplish as guided by you, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Thought for the day:
“The one thing that matters is the effort. It continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on an on from crest to crest; and once the goal is reached it has no meaning”
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The Wisdom of the Sands
Goal for the Day:
Make an effort to improve, then make another.

Pastor Dickow’s Fast from Wrong Thinking
Revolution Day 2:
We often think that more money will solve our problems. But the truth is - we need a lot of things that money can’t buy! Today, we’re fasting from the thought that says, “I need more money!”
Who hasn’t thought that once or twice (a day)?
Let’s change it today:
1. God is your source. We often think that God will be our source of money; but He is our source PERIOD. (2 Corinthians 9:8) He is your sufficiency
2. We don’t need more money, we need more of God in our lives! As you stay full of God (His Word, the assurance of His love), you will have what you need. We don’t leak (He’ll never leave us), but we forget. (Romans 1:21) As you stay thankful, you stay FULL of God.
3. Abide in Him today. (John 15:7) See yourself in union with Jesus. Meditate on being “In Him”. Start with 2 Corinthians 1:20.
4. Let His Words abide in you today. (John 15:7) As His Words become the fiber of your being; and become one with you, you can ASK anything in His Name, and it will be given to you. AMAZING!
5. Don’t limit God. In Psalm 78:41, they limited God. This means that they set the boundaries. They defined what God could do, and how He could provide. This was their downfall.
6. God has countless ways to provide for you. It might be money or a business, or an idea, or wisdom, or a better budget, etc. He can give water from a rock; bread from heaven; food for a multitude from 5 loaves; coins out of a fish’s mouth...Expect Him to provide HIS way.
THINK IT & SAY IT:
God is my source. I refuse to limit how God can provide, or what He can provide me with. I abide IN HIM and His Word abides in me, and therefore I can ask for whatever I wish, and it will be done. I stay thankful and full of God. Money is not my source. My job is not my source. God is my source, and I expect His ideas, wisdom, provision and supply, in Jesus’ Name.
Happy 68th Day of the New Year
