The rewards of vision and hard work.
"Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper." Pr 13:4 NLT
In the fall of 1894, Guglielmo retreated to his room on the third floor. All summer while on vacation, he read books and filled notebooks with squiggly diagrams. Now the time had come for him to work. Every day, he rose early.
He worked all day and long into the night, to the point that his m...

Talk back to your giant.
"I come against you in the name of the Lord." 1Sa 17:45 NIV
Goliath towered over David. But David
looked at Goliath through the eyes of his omnipotent God who sits high, looks low, and conquers all. "You come against me with sword and spear...but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied." Intimidation is one of Satan's favorite weap...

Always do a good job.
"The Lord God put the man in the garden of Eden to care for it and work it." Ge 2:15 NCV
The first thing God did when He made Adam was put him to work. That's because work gives us a sense of purpose, meaning, and dignity. "God put the man in the garden...to... work it."
So Adam was a gardener. But whether you count cash in a bank, trade futures on Wall Street, flip burgers in a beach-side stan...

Study. Work. Hope. Perseverance.
"Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings." Pr 22:29 NKJV
Helping the deaf to communicate was what truly motivated Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. Perhaps that's because his mother and his wife were both deaf. "If I can make a deaf-mute talk," Bell said, "I can make metal talk." For five frustrating and impoverished years, he experimented with ...

God is working on your behalf.
"We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him." Ro 8:28 NCV
The Bible begins with these words: "In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God's Spirit was moving over the water.
Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that the light was good" (Ge 1:1-4 NCV).&nbs...

Keep on keeping on.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Gal 6:9 NIV
Some of the world's most successful people were told by so-called experts that they didn't have what it took to be a success in the professions they had chosen. In 1927, Lucille Ball was told by an instructor at the John Murray Anderson Drama School, "Try any other profession. Any ot...

Pursue God's purpose for your life!
'''For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you... plans to give you hope and a future.'"' Jer 29:11 NIV
Nothing is more gratifying than knowing one's purpose-even when opposition seems unbearable and other distractions threaten to overshadow it. Often when people say they don't have a passion for anything, they mean they don't have faith to believe the...

The harvest law.
"Whoever sows generously will also reap generously." 2Co 9:6 NIV
The Bible clearly teaches that those who give generously to God's kingdom purposes will receive something back in return for participating. Furthermore, there's a correlation between how much you give and how much you get back. "Whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
This is good news for reluctant givers. When you give awa...

Experiencing God's presence each day.
"My Presence will go with you." Ex 33:14 NKJV
Nicholas Herman was a cook in a monastery. He worried about whether or not he was truly saved. One day while looking at a tree, he realized the truth of the Psalmist's words-that it had to be rooted in something other and deeper than itself (see Ps 1:1-3). That day, he decided to make his life an experiment in what he called a "habitual, s...

Understanding the kingdom of God.
"The kingdom of God is within you." Lk 17:21 NKJV
In one sense, the kingdom of God is future, eternal, and heavenly.

How to make anger work for you (2)
"Sensible people control their temper." Pr 19:11 NLT
Anger scares many of us because we've been harmed by it. But anger can be evidence that a person cares about someone or something. Nothing wrong is ever made right without someone becoming angry about it. If you shut down all anger, you eliminate passion, intimacy, and love.
Here are two ways to make anger work for you:
(1) D...

A mustard seed is only two millimeters in di...
