The fastest runner doesn't always win the race; the strongest soldier doesn't always win the battle; smart people don’t always get the wealth; educated people don’t always get the praise they deserve. When the time comes, bad things can happen to anyone! Ecclesiastes 9:11
You’re not supposed to fight every battle. You won’t reach your destiny dealing with all the weeds. When the enemy comes in at night and sows weeds in your good soil, don’t panic, don’t get upset. Let God deal with the weeds.
When you learn the principle to not rely on people, but to rely on God for your approval, value, and encouragement, you won’t live stressed out because somebody is not giving you what you expect.
"God speaks to those who are prepared in their hearts to listen. Discern the voice from Heaven above the noisy din of earth's confusion." —Billy Graham
The same opportunity can look completely different depending on your attitude.
A positive mindset helps you see possibilities, while a negative one focuses on limitations.
Your attitude often determines what you notice and what you miss.
What attitude are you bringing into today?
If you’re going to be happy and enjoy your relationships, it’s important to learn how to appreciate the differences and learn from the people in your life. Our assignment is not to fix people. Our assignment is to love people.
If your faith rises and falls with your circumstances, you'll always be on shaky ground. Let what God is doing in your heart be what moves you forward.
Quit discounting yourself. Quit thinking you can’t pray for something big, you don’t have the faith, you don’t come from the right family. The requirement is: Are you a human? Since you are, God says you can ask for things that seem impossible.
