Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - A Mark of Honor

A Mark of Honor
Today's Devotional Reading: Zech 13-14; Ps. 147; Lk. 15
October 2, 2010

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"It is an honor for a man to cease from strife..." (Proverbs 20:3).

TODAY'S WORD
 
, many challenges in life are merely distractions meant to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn't as friendly to you as you'd like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of your life. You can't allow the little things to cause strife in your life. Just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Iliab tried to confront him. But David knew that arguing with Iliab wasn't even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn't want to be distracted. He simply "turned away" from Iliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do. In our own lives today, most frustrations aren't even worth fighting over. The Bible tells us that avoiding strife is a mark of honor. We have to learn to turn away from strife and keep our focus on what God has called us to do. As you do, you will live in honor and see God's victory in every area of your life!

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Father God, thank You for Your hand of victory in my life. Give me the wisdom and courage I need to walk away from strife so I can focus on the destiny You have prepared for me. I love You and bless You, today and always. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
We sure love you!
