"Persistence will make you more like the Great Spirit when you hold on to your joy." (Victoria Osteen, 2016)
How often have your been working on a goal and then one day you have a minor setback? The key is to keep your joy and realize that you had what you needed to solve the problem. Sometimes we need to remember the Great Spirit is more concerned with changing us than with the outcome of our goals. Yes, Great Spirit wants us to prosper and give us good things, but Great Spirit is more concerned with you having Great Spirit's qualities so you can develop the power to be the miracle. 

 When setbacks happen I find sometimes I get frustrated, but then after I take a deep breath, maybe in a day or two, I realize that it is just a setup. Then I feel like I can move on. What was that? The Great Spirit offering forgiveness, allowing me to keep the right attitude.  Somehow I realize it will be all good, it is just a part of the process. Great Spirit is directing my steps. It is all about perspective. Who knows, maybe that setback was a way for the Great Spirit to give you double because Great Spirit wants to reward your persistence.  Keep doing the right thing, be respectful, you are being prepared for the next level. 

 A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Great Spirit, thank you for honoring my persistence. Thank you for bringing all things together. Thank you that I am about to see you show up and show out in my life. Thank you that joy is not only coming, but it is here. By the Lion's Mane, Let this be so.

The True Sign of Maturity

[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment. Like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life. You have the skills that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that the skills have to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level. Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

You Get What You Think

“The fears ….. will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.” (Proverbs 10:14 NLT) Our life will always move to what we think about most, which is why it is so important to guard your mind. If you are not careful you can think about only negative things and you become a negative person. Have you ever been around that person who only has the news channel on in their house? They are always talking about how bad things are, how things just seem to be getting worse, the world is coming to an end. That person over time, if you take notice, will become a very cynical, negative person. Why? They were moving toward what they were watching and thinking about.  We also know those people who let their fears take hold of their life, “My car is going to break down this week, and I just know it”or“I knew we wouldn’t be able to go on that vacation, I just knew I would get downsized.” What happened? Your fears were fulfilled. ...
