- If you want to succeed in life, your education cannot end when you graduate. All leaders are learners, and you need to continue learning the rest of your life. Because the moment you stop growing, your contribution to your company stops growing also.
- Ecclesiastes 10:10 says, "If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success." (NIV)
- If you keep learning, then God can continue to expand your horizons.
- "Do yourself a favor and learn all you can; then remember what you learn and you will prosper." (Proverbs 19:8 TEV)
- Did you know that if you don't take notes, then within 72 hours you'll forget 95 percent of what you hear? So you may look real spiritual, but you're not real bright.
- Learn all you can and remember what you learn and watch how God blesses your work.

S: But Gideon replied, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son. The LORD will rule over you! (Judges 8:23 NLT)
But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes. The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened. But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. (Luke 24:1-5, 10-11 NLT)
O: The Israelites longed for a ruler, just as people today long to be ruled. However, I will not rule over my husband, my children, our my ministry. God is the ruler over them and ruler over me. I must align myself appropriately or I will continue to be in this whirlwind of a life for the rest of my life.
I have heard many times that the Bible says women should not be over men. Yet, we find Deborah a judge of the Israelites. We also find that women went to check on Jesus after the sabbath. The Angels revealed themselves to the women and sent them to tell the apostles that Jesus was alive! What great news that the Angels of God trusted women with to share with men who had followed in close proximity with Jesus. Peter could have been the one to go check on him and go tell the other apostles, but it was a group of women. Even though the men thought the women's message was nonsense, it did not stop them from doing what God had given them to do.
A: Aligning myself with God gives me the confidence and assurance needed to proclaim my story. People may think it's nonsense or inappropriate, nevertheless, it cannot stop me from doing what God has given me to do!
P: How merciful are you God! You deserve more than praise! I thank you for all you have done, are doing and will continue to do! You are wonderful! I vow today to align myself in your will instead of my feelings or Johns insecurities. Give me all the tools needed to stay on task today. There are a lot of things to accomplish. May I focus on one at a time in order to do my best. Forgive me for not trusting you with my marriage. I let go of feelings and cling to your principles. Also forgive me for not being a steward with the finances you have blessed us with. Deliver me from mistrust in myself. I can, I will, I must be a financial guru. Teach me your ways oh Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!
