Courage
Courage involves more than convictions. It involves a
willingness to speak and to act in order to bring about
change; in individual lives, in families, in neighborhoods,
in cities, and in nations. It’s not enough to “just believe”
in something. You must be willing to speak out, speak up,
and stand up in order truly to be a courageous person. Your
voice can make a difference. One person with courage
makes a majority.

Start Now
You can’t win if you don’t begin. Start now!
Reach for you dream. Set a goal and be
willing to finish it. Reach out and achieve.
You can make that phone call, finish cleaning
the garage, say good morning to a stranger
or neighbor, break a barrier, start now! Do
something that’s within your reach!!!
You’ll be so glad you did. Have a blessed
Week-end and remember go to Church!
Read: II Corinthians 8:10-11
Wisdom
If you want to be wise, read and study God’s Word and then
do what it tells you. Knowing God’s Word is not enough; you
must put it into action by doing the Word not just hearing
and reading, add doing it as well. Your own thinking
leads to false assumptions, which lead to unwise choices.
Ask God for wisdom, that is His perspective on things.
Follow His perspective; then your choices will be wise ones.
Read: Proverbs 3:5-6
A Right Place
At times you may feel that you can’t
be on the right path. At those times
just keep following God.
He will lead and guide you home.
He will bring you into a right place were
you’ll find peace and everlasting love!
Read: Jeremiah 29:11
Plane & Simple
Jesus said if you make room for me in your heart, God will make room for you in His house.
Read: John 14:1-3
Do It Well
Slacking off, goofing off and dozing off rarely
open doors of opportunity. Those doors
are opened best by going above and
beyond, by doing more than required.
Whatever your hands find to do, do it
well, do it right and do it with all your
might and God will bless you with
success.
Read: John 17:4
Don’t Be Lazy
Most success in business is often closely associated with a
person’s courage and ability to recover from his or her most
recent failure. A failure isn’t truly a failure until you quit trying.
If a venture begins to slow down, try speeding up your efforts.
The key to avoiding a crash is to peddle faster when you’re
riding a bike. The same is true for enterprise, parenting
or having a good life. Don’t quit trying. Don’t be lazy.
The train of failure usually runs on the track of laziness.
Keep pressing toward your goals
Read: Ecclesiastes 10:18
Hope
When it seems like God doesn’t act keep hoping. Hope is expecting something that has not yet occurred.
Faith and patience keep hope alive. Have faith that God will do what he has promised. Be patience while
He does it in His own time and in His own way. You can be absolutely sure that he is already acting on
your behalf because God is trustworthy.
