Philippians 1:9-10
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
What Of Today’s Verse…
I don’t know about you, but my most difficult decisions are not about choosing between good and bad. I usually know what is good and what is bad, especially when bad involves evil. My toughest choices are when I have to choose between good, better, and best. My love for God usually overcomes my weakness and I choose good over bad. But unless I’ve placed myself before God’s word and surrendered my heart to him in prayer, I have a very tough time choosing between good and best. Yet I’m convinced that much of what God would love to do through us today does not happen because we’ve settled for good when he longs to lead us to best!
Let us Pray:
Gracious and Almighty God teach me your ways and give me your heart as I strive to love you, know your will, and have insight into your ways. Help me to know the best things to do today and to use my time in the best way in my work, my family, among my friends, and especially before those who do not know Christ as their Savior. Through him I pray. Amen.

Enthusiasm…
Whatever you undertake, do it with enthusiasm.
Almost anyone over age 30 would like to, in some ways, be younger again. And what is one of the primary attributes of youth? Enthusiasm! As time goes on, as we get older, somehow we get the notion that we should let go of our enthusiasm. That’s utter nonsense.
You want to feel young and energetic? Find something about which you can be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm will add a brilliant neon glow to all you do. Enthusiasm will carry you through difficult times. Your enthusiasm will push you forward and leave your competition choking in your dust.
Enthusiasm is irresistible. And fun, and joyful, and effective. Find a way to get there. It’s worth it!
