Seize the Day!

There is no getting around it, you are what you do daily.  No matter what you did TODAY you were 100% successful at what you did.  You may not have wanted to do what you did but you were 100% successful in doing what you did.  What you did may have not benefitted you or anyone else but you were 100% successful at what you did.

You may not have planned or scheduled what you did TODAY but you were 100% successful at what you did.   The last principle in my book Prosperity Renewal: 14 Bibilical Principles for True Financial Freedom addresses the setting of goals and how setting them makes everyday productive and how it makes us live God-sized lives.

12 Things We Should Be Thankful For

This year has been a season of trials for many but our situations are never our destination just a time of preparation. In this season of thanks and giving  take time starting TODAY and write down a list of things that you are thankful for. Here is a list of 12 Things We Should Be Thankful For from my pastor’s (Pastor Chad Selph of First Baptist Allen) November 12th sermon notes:

“TWELVE THINGS WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR”
(1 Thessalonians 5:18)

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from th Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17, NIV).

1. T – I am thankful for teachers (Ephesians 4:11).
“It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers…” (Ephesians 4:11, NIV).

2. H – I am thankful for home (Ephesians 5:21-6:4).

3. A – I am thankful for animals (Genesis 1:24-25)

4. N – I am thankful for neighbors (Galatians 5:14).

5. K – I am thankful for kids (Matthew 18:1-6).

6. S – I am thankful for Scripture (2 Timothy 3:14-17).
“are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ
Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15, NIV).

7. G – I am thankful for grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).

8. I – I am thankful for intercession (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and
thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2for kings and all those in
authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness
and holiness” (2 Timothy 2:1-2, NIV).

9. V – I am thankful for volunteers (Isaiah 6:1-8).
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6:8, NIV).

10. I – I am thankful for the incarnation (John 1:4).

11. N – I am thankful for our nation (Romans 13:1).

12. G – I am thankful for God being God (James 1:17).

“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations” (Psalm 100:1-5, NIV).

ARE YOU LED OR ARE YOU DRIVEN?

“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.” Romans 8:28 (AMP)
We call it life in the fast lane.

We have never had so many comforts and conveniences designed to lift the burden, ease the pressure, and lighten the load. Yet we have never had so much stress and anxiety! That’s because we have never learned that God has a personal plan for our lives. He usually gives it to us day-to-day, hour-by-hour, and sometimes moment-by-moment.

He did not ask you to design the plan, He only asks you to seek Him and discover it. Peace does not come from winning the World Series or becoming president of the company. Usually what it costs to get there and stay there is our health, our families, and our sanity.

Child of God, real peace comes from knowing that everything in your life is in God’s hands and is fitting into His plan because He loves you and has committed Himself to this eternal principle: Everything will work out for your good and His glory.

Blessings,
