- If you don't determine what's important and how you'll live, other people will determine it for you.
- Romans 12:2, "Don't let the world squeeze you into its own mold, but let God remold your mind from within ." (Phillips)
- Growth requires time and effort.
- No one stays with a difficult task unless he is convinced that there is a good reason for doing it.
- Knowing what to do (knowledge), why to do it (perspective) and how to do it (skill) is worthless if you don't have the conviction that will motivate you to actually do it!
- The people who have made the greatest impact on this world, for good or evil, were the people with the strongest, deepest convictions. They weren't necessarily the smartest, wealthiest, or best educated people, but their convictions moved them to move the world.
(Rick Warren Daily Devotion)
- Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love. (1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NLT)
- Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:2 NLT)
S: Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me. (John 12:25-26 NLT)
This is the LORD’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.
Bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the house of the LORD. (Psalms 118:23, 26 NLT)
O: I want to move the world!!!! My convictions/principles will help me grow and provide a foundation for me to move on. I must show people who I am and what's important to me by the way I live. This world does not mold me, therefore God will remold me from within. En shared the three p's of success, that includes patience. Growth is not an overnight process. It takes time and a whole lot of effort. It's time to do what my current situation needs me to do. Work! Get this house in order and get a job! My principle/conviction my daughter will not be without the necessities of life. This statement has to convict me to move in the job front to make sure my princess never goes hungry. In order to own a half a million dollar house I need to work now. Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself. -Susan B. Anthony I need to protect us against the confusion and distruction of what John is going through.
A. I will make a great impact in this world by first making an impact with my family. My life I know live, I live in Chrsit, in his character. I no longer care about what he world says,(anyone who is not for Gods calling). I will follow Jesus commands which are my convictions and the principles I stand on. I am doing the will of God and it is wonderful to see!!!!
P: Bless it be your name oh God and bless those who live in your name. You are mighty! Be with your servant as I strive to live in Christ's character. Reveal to me through your word my convictions. May I live in then accordingly. In you great name I pray, amen.
