In 2010 I will win! Another year, another beginning. If at first you don't succeed, keep trying persistance is the key.

It is not a sin to want riches, we were born for greatness and that includes having more than enough. Having more than enough opens the door and gives you the opportunity to be a blessing to someone else.

Our thoughts have hindered us from being all that we can be, doing all that we can do and having all that we can have. Change your thoughts and you'll change your life. Now is the time, learn to dream and when you dream, dream big. Believe with out doubt that you will receive, and give thanks as if you have already received your big dream. Celebrate and expect miracles everyday!

"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. Matt. 6:28

Jesus said, "Consider the lily." It obeys sthe laws of its life in the circumstances where it is placed. As a Christian, consider your hidden life with God. Pay attention to the source of your life---God! Realize that He will care for your provision.

The most hard-working creature of  our world is a bidr, yet it does not toil to stick feathers to itself. It obeys the law of its life and becomes what it is. The same is true for Christians.

You cannot enjoy life by heeding outside pressures to change. Imagine what would happen if a lily did what some of us try to do. We say, "Oh, I must give up this; I must go here and there." Imagine a lily's hauling itself out of a pot and saying, "Well, I don't think I smell nice enough. I don't think I look exactly right. I must change myself!" The lily's duty is to obey the law of its life where it is placed by the gardner.

Watch your life, dear Christian friend and allow God to be the source of your life. Then you will grow in His grace.

Prayer Thought: Thank You, Lord, for providing all the necessities of my life.

Taken from "Devotions for a Deeper Life" by Oswald Chambers Author of My Utmost for His Highest    

From my devotional "Every Day with Jesus."

"And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna" Exodus 16:31

There is an art, not known to all who travel, by which a wearied and exhausted life may gather, in a way which seems to those who do not understand almost miraculous, new strength, new vigor, new physical power, for an onward march. So does the Master feed the souls of His children Himself a spiritual "MANNA" as real and more wonderful than that strange, mysterious food with which He fed the House of Israel. To "feed upon the Lord" may sound like empty mysticism, but may be a fact to every trusting soul. For unto us are given "exceeding great and precious promises, that by Him we might be partakers of the Divine nature." 

Isn't this a blessing, think about what you just read and Praise the Lord everybody! God bless!
