One
There is one who can speak to your condition whatever that may be. Seek and ye shall find. (John 1:1-18; Matthew 7:7-8; John 20:24-29)
Before Birds Start Singing
Give me the early morn. This is when the world is most quiet, and nearly everyone still sleeps. Much can be done before the cares of the day begin demanding time and attention. It really isn’t surprising at all that the most productive among us are early to bed and early to rise. (Mark 1:35)
Good Fruit
Iron sharpens iron. Eagles don’t wallow in the mud, and pigs don’t fly. (Proverbs 27:17; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Matthew 7:19-20)
There is Only One
I have been reading the Holy Bible everyday for 16 years now. This practice has completely changed everything about me for the better. By faith I was born again many years before I started feeding daily on the Word of God. My life didn’t start to change, however, until I started learning and practicing the Word. I have read the entire NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, and KJV versions of the Bible. I have been blessed by them all, but the most blessed version of the Bible for me is the KJV. I have been reading it exclusively for the past 5 years or so. I plan to continue this practice for as long as I live. It is just as essential for my soul as air, food, and water are to my body.
Here is the key: Don’t go to the Bible to decide whether or not you should believe it. All who do so will find it locked and it’s transforming power out of reach. Go to the Bible to see what we are to believe. This is the knock that opens the Holy Book. (Matthew 4:1-4; 2 Peter 1:20-21; James 1:21;Romans 12:2; Matthew 7:7-8)
Nature, Nurture, & Consequences
Each person is a specific combination of the same infinite possibilities, his/her chosen responses to their environment, and the ripple like effect of consequences. (Acts 17:16-32; John 20:24-31; Psalm 95:7-10; 1 Corinthians 4:7; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 5:11-14; Galatians 6:7)
All Day, Everyday, for Life
If I could go back in time 40 years or so and talk to my younger self, I would caution me against putting on permeant ink that is cool in the moment. Tattoos can be changed or covered, but never erased. Consider the possibility of the “future you” not liking the choice, and the fact that there will be no options to undo the decision. (Exodus 20:25; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Who and How
The one whose reliance on shakable things has been transcended, and only complete trust in God remains. (Judges 14:12-14; Psalm 119:9; Proverbs 28:26, 3:5-6; Psalm 147:9-11; Psalm 81:10; Hebrews 12:25-27; Psalm 119:103; Proverbs 28:1; Judges 14:16-18)

Continue Mission. Everlasting victory draws closer every day. Keep up the good fight until He comes again or until He calls you home. (Ecclesiastes 9:10; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Corinthians 16:13-14; Romans 13:10-11; 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Matthew 25:23)
