Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
What of Today’s Verse…
Where can we go when all the walls fall and all the armies crumble and all hope is lost? To the eternal God, who is our Father. He preserved Israel through the most difficult of times, protected the Bible from those who would eradicate it, and has led his Church through troubles and triumphs through the centuries. He will do the same with us until he brings us home to himself.
Let us Pray:
My Rock, My Hope, and My Protector, I thank you for preserving my life. I thank you for hearing my cries for help and healing. I thank you for guiding my feet into ways that have been a blessing. Please, O God, stay close by as I face the stresses and challenges in my life. Through your Spirit, enable me to grow and be an example to others as I pass through life’s storm. Through Jesus I ask it. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Sincerity…
There is a world of difference between someone who really cares, and someone who is just going through the motions. When you deal with someone who truly, sincerely cares about what they’re doing, it is obvious right away.
Whether it is brain surgery, selling tires, cooking a meal, designing a computer or presenting a business opportunity, the person who is committed to providing true value, will always do a better job. Someone who is simply going through the motions might be able to get by for a while, but will eventually run into an obstacle that his or her superficial “programming” is unable to overcome.
If you’re not sincere in what you do, then you’re under the control of someone or something other than yourself. When you are sincere, you put the best of yourself into your work, and that is a proven path to success.
Find a way to care. Find a way to be truly sincere. It will make all the difference in the world.
