Today's Scripture
"Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings " (Proverbs 22:29, NIV)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Too often, its easy to get stuck in a rut, doing the same thing the same way over and over every day. But if we are going to live at our absolute best, we should constantly be growing and sharpening our skills. We should strive to learn and grow every single day because when we stop learning, we stop growing. When we stop growing, we stop living.
What are you doing to stretch yourself? What are you doing to improve your skills? Dont get trapped into thinking that good enough is good enough. You were created for more than just average. Today is a new day, and there are new heights for you to climb. Pursue what you love and keep developing that area of your life. Take a class or find a mentor that will help you live skillfully. As scripture promises, youll go before leaders and rulers and excel in every area of life!
A Prayer for Today
Father, today I resist mediocrity. I choose to give my very best to everything I do. Teach me to live skillfully so that my life is a continual praise to You in Jesus name. Amen.
I will now start my day by asking what I am doing to stretch myself instead of thanking the Lord and asking how can I serve him. Thank you joel osteen for opening my eyes to the truth of your divine word!!!
