Daily Devotional for August 16, 2021

“Be on your guard; stand firm in faith; be courageous; be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

May we REmember that everything is a season. Even waiting is a season. However, as emphasized in Osteen’s message this morning from 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Be on your guard; stand firm in faith; be courageous; be strong.” In all that we do, we must BE. Just BEing doesn’t REally take an action, but focuses in on and trusting God.

Leviticus 24

As we go about life, Leviticus 24:22 REminds us as Christ spoke, “‘You shall have one standard of law for the stranger among you as well as for the native, for I am the Lord your God.’ ” If we give it shall BE given unto us, and in the case of this scripture, an eye for an eye is the standard. Therefore, do unto others as you would want done to you.

REflection from Bold Leaders

Today’s message from Hillsong points out, “…mediocrity is comfortable, but excellence requires conviction. It’s easy to cultivate mediocrity because it costs nothing, whereas excellence demands sacrifice.” Most great leaders didn’t get to where they are without some type of sacrifice, and the same goes for you in your life. Life comes with choices, and as we desire to lead, will we REmain comfortable or BEcome convicted that God has something greater prepared for our lives? I choose the latter and will continue to press towards the mark of the high calling. What about you?

Galatians 5:24

May we die in selfishness and live dependent and filled with Thee. 🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

May the Master be the mastermind of all we make happen this day and each day, my friend.
