June 17, 2013

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   
"Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word." (Psalm 119:37, NIV.)

TODAY'S WORD   
, in order to live the life of victory God has promised, you have to be very selective about what you give your time and attention to. You have to recognize which thoughts to ignore, which comments to ignore, and sometimes, which people to ignore. Every "battle" that comes across your path is not a battle that you're supposed to fight. Many battles are simply distractions to try to lure you off course. If that battle is not between you and your God-given destiny, it's a battle you should ignore.

Many people get thrown off course because they are always trying to straighten everyone else out or win their approval. But if that's your focus, you are wasting valuable time and energy that you should be using to pursue your dreams. Turn away from that distraction! You don't need the approval of everyone around you; you only need God's approval!

 

, it's very freeing when you realize you don't have to fight every battle. You don't have to straighten people out. You don't have to pay somebody back. Instead, focus on what matters, focus on God and His Word so you can live in peace and happiness every day of your life!


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father, thank You for ordering my steps. Thank You for planning good things for me. Help me to discern the things I should ignore. Help me to avoid distractions as I focus my heart and mind on You today in Jesus' name. Amen.


, we really do love you and we pray this will be the best year ever!
