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 

"The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes" (Psalm 19:8, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD   
, I have a friend who is going through treatment for cancer. She's a young woman, very talented, a nurse with a really good career. If she had not told me a while back, I would have never known anything was wrong. I've never once heard her complain. She always appears friendly, upbeat and enjoys life. I asked her early on how she could keep such a good attitude during such a difficult time. She said, "Eric, when I get up in the morning, I ask myself, 'Do you want to be depressed today or do you want to live happy?' I choose to live happy."

Understand that if you're going to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. Happiness is not going to fall on you. You have to choose it by choosing right thoughts and focusing on the Father. You have to set your day in the direction that you want to go. You have to choose to meditate on His Word because His Word lights your path and gives joy to your heart. Today, choose to live happy, set your focus on Him, and embrace the blessing He has in store for you!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father, today I set my heart and mind on You. I receive Your Word which is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I will store Your Word in my heart and receive the joy it brings me. Today I choose to live happy in Jesus' name! Amen

, we really do love you and we believe in you!
