WHO IS YOUR HERO OR ROLE MODEL?

JESUS is, of course, our Primary Hero and Role Model. Secondary ones might include a Biblical Character, Historical Figure, Family Member, or even a Literary Character. Who has been a Beacon of Light, a Ray of Hope, or an Inspiration to you?

Who invested him or herself in your Life? Who has filled a Critical Role for You? We all need someone we can look up to and learn from. Give this some thought Today, because such people will nudge you toward God's Best For Your Life.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

WHO'S YOUR INSPIRATION?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Take a moment to think about one of your Heroes or Role Models. Is it a Parent, Sibling, Grandparent, Mentor, Teacher, Pastor, Missionary, Benefactor, Counselor, Coach, or Doctor? Have you ever cut out a Newspaper Article on a Local Hero you admire? Have you learned a Great Deal by studying the Life of the Apostle Peter, Eleanor Roosevelt, General Patton, or Don Quixote?

Or, have you learned about Courage from a terminally ill Friend? We must Embrace Life's Lessons through Pain to find Real Peace, Freedom, and Truth.

*I have learned that we Make our Plans, but that GOD Directs our Steps. I also know that his way and timing are Perfect, and that he wastes Nothing. I have Encountered Truth ~ JESUS CHRIST. That Relationship has Challenged me, Changed me, and continues to bring me New Life as I Surrender Daily to Him.*

**Real Heroes and Role Models are ordinary People, who have developed Character that has taught them to Obey Christ. Their choice to follow GOD'S Principles and Listen to his Spirit is Life ~ Giving to those they are sent to Serve.**
Daniel was a Hero
Daniel faced lions rather than bowing to a King whom others adored as a GOD.
Read Daniel 6:1-28. Do you tend to hang around People who are this Bold and Daring for the LORD? What might such Role Models inspire you to do?
SCRIPTURE TO PONDER
Therefore, since we have a Great High Priest who has gone
through the Heavens, JESUS the Son of GOD, let us hold firmly
to the Faith we Profess. (Hebrews 4:14)

~ PUTTING GOD'S WORD INTO "DAILY" PRACTICE ~

But be ye Doers of the Word, and not
Hearers only, deceiving your own Selves . . .


My Prayer for Today
<:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:->

Lord, I ask You to help me become a Doer of the Word and not a Hearer only.

Forgive me for the times I've Heard the Word of God preached in Power and even said *AMEN* to the Message, yet failed to walk out the Truth I Heard or to make it a part of my Life.

Starting Today, I make the Decision to be a Doer of the Word of God. Holy Spirit, give me the Strength and Divine Energy I need to take the Word I hear or read and put it into Practice in my Life.

I Pray this in Jesus' Name!


My Confession for Today
<:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:-><:->

I Declare that I am a Doer of the Word of God. I am among those who hear the Word and immediately apply it to their lives.

I Experience the Power of God's Spirit in my Life because of my Obedience to Walk in what God has Revealed to Me.

I Declare this by *FAITH* in Jesus' Name!

~ PATIENTLY ENDURE ~

God will take care of us
in good and bad times.
We shouldn't become
Over Confident in
times of plenty, but we also
need to Patiently Endure
Times of Adversity.
God will NEVER leave us.
He will be Near us
in our troubles.
Unbelievers don't have
this Confidence in God
because they put their trust
in Earthly Things.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The Battle of the
Christian Life has always been
not just to BELIEVE,
But to keep on BELIEVING.
This is how we will
grow Strong in FAITH
and see the actual Fulfillment
of God's Promises in our Lives

~ FREE FROM WRONG ATTITUDES ~

~ MY GUARDIAN ANGEL ~


Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive

with meekness the Engrafted Word, which is able to Save Your Souls . . .
~ MY PRAYER FOR TODAY ~


Lord, help me step out of the Sins and bad attitudes that have held me captive for so long. Help me know the right steps to take to remove these destructive and unworthy things from my Life.


You want me to be *FREE*, and I desire to be *FREE*.


With your Help, I know I can be permanently set *FREE* from these negative things, stepping out of them and pushing them so far away that I will never pick them up again!


I Pray this in Jesus' Name!


~ MY CONFESSION FOR TODAY ~


The Word of God reveals those areas in my Life that are unclean and that need to Change.


Rather than act like a victim who cannot do anything about Myself or My Circumstance, today I Start the Process of Acknowledging my Sin and Removing these Attitudes, Actions, and Sins
that are Unworthy of who I AM ~ today in CHRIST.


I can be *FREE*, and I will be *FREE*. I will be all that GOD Intended for me to be!


I Declare this by *FAITH* in Jesus Name!
