Thought for the Day

Excellence is not the result of a single act but of a habit. We become what we repeatedly do.

That is why I try to encourage you daily to remember the goals we have set for ourselves—the pursuit of nobility, integrity, and Christlikeness. Why? Because there are no quick fixes, shortcuts, or overnight transformations. Growth happens as we consistently choose to do what is right, even when doing so is difficult. When we’re tired, we do it tired. When we’re discouraged, we do it discouraged. When we’re frustrated, we do it frustrated. When we feel unappreciated, we keep doing what is right, even when no one seems to notice.

Our character is not defined by what we do occasionally but by what we practice consistently. Every right choice strengthens a good habit, and every good habit helps shape us into the people God has called us to be.

I firmly believe that we greatly reduce the likelihood of failure when we keep doing the right things long enough. So don’t give up, don’t take shortcuts, and don’t settle for less than God’s best. Keep showing up, keep growing, and keep becoming more like Jesus.

Hang tough and stay tender.

Thought for the Day

Do you remember your first love? I do. Well, it was actually a teenage crush. I wasn’t sure what was happening, just that I felt attracted to that girl in my seventh-grade homeroom. My attempts to express those feelings were pretty awkward to say the least. Through the years, my love experiences have grown, and I’ve gained a deeper understanding of that powerful four-letter word, love—a basic human need.

Love is a popular topic in culture. We talk about it, write about it, and sing about it. Everyone wants to love and be loved. But true love becomes obscured in all the verbiage and confused by all the counterfeits. True love moves beyond talk into action. The apostle John states that we can see true love by checking out what God did. He sent His Son, and Christ gave his life (1 John 4:9-10). God’s love sends, gives, serves, feeds, heals, and dies. With God, love is a word of action, a verb.

True love is also others centered. In today’s society, we sing, “Give me some lovin’,” and we meet our needs by “making love.” Again, God provides the contrasting example—Christ came to earth to give Himself for us.

How can we respond to such sacrificial, selfless love? By loving God and others in the same way (see 1 John 4:11–12).

Thank God for His great love for you, and demonstrate your gratitude by giving yourself to others, just as Christ gave Himself for you.

Thought for the Day

Frederick Langbridge wrote, “Two men look out through the same bars. One sees the mud, and one the stars.” He was right. Our outlook—how we choose to see and interpret the circumstances of life—often influences the outcomes we experience. While we cannot always control what happens to us, we can choose how we respond, and that choice can make all the difference.

As you begin your day, how about performing a gut check? Do you see insurmountable problems at home and at work, or do you see possibilities for change and growth that are achievable through God’s grace, wisdom, and strength? Are you saying, “Same old, same old,” or are you believing, “One day, this will become what God intends it to be if I remain faithful and keep moving in the right direction”? Are you heading to a job this morning, or stepping into an opportunity to serve, make a difference, and demonstrate that godly men and everyday heroes are not found only in fairy tales?

Our outlook greatly influences our outcomes. A hopeful perspective doesn’t deny the mud; it simply refuses to let the mud keep us from seeing the stars. So, my brother, let’s face this day with faith, look for the possibilities God places before us, and live with and in hope!

Thought for the Day

As men, we must intentionally resist the temptation to view people as projects to be managed or problems to be solved. It is easy to become so focused on results, efficiency, and getting things done that we allow the bottom line to matter more than the relationships along the way. But people are never merely obstacles to overcome or tasks to complete. They are souls to value, hearts to understand, and lives to love.

One way I work at keeping my priorities in the right order is by praying these words often: “Father, please help me to not allow a problem to be solved to matter more to me than the person to be loved.”

That simple prayer reminds me that getting the job done is never more important than treating people with dignity, patience, and compassion. Sometimes the greatest thing we can accomplish is not fixing the problem but loving the person who is struggling with it. After all, Jesus never treated people as interruptions to His agenda. He saw them as the very reason He came.

Feel free to borrow that prayer. I pray it works as well for you as it has for me.

Strength and honor!

Thought for the Day

Tiger Woods was a child golf prodigy. He first broke eighty at age eight and dominated professional golf for years. He reached the pinnacle of his career, having accomplished everything a golfer would want to accomplish.

Yet on a November night in 2009, another side of his life emerged to the public. In the days and weeks that followed, it was revealed that he was a man with a large appetite for s*x. One doesn't arrive at that level of corruption overnight. Tiger had a chance to run from those compulsions long before the public disgrace. He could have reached out for help.

Unless we deal with our real problems and get down to the level of what we're really like, those problems will come back again and again and again.

Step number one: admit you have a problem. You'll never get better until you are willing to say, "I really need help in this area of my life." If we don't learn to deal with our problems now, we are going to deal with them later. They're going to come back to haunt us again and again.

You can’t erase it until you face it!

Thought for the Day

Fear is something to push through, not something to be turned away by. It would probably depress us if we suddenly realized all the joys we had missed, the victories we had never won, and the relationships we had never enjoyed simply because we allowed fear to hold us back.

Fear often causes us to fight, freeze, or flee. I suggest we adopt another “F” word—FACE. Over the past forty-nine years as a follower of Christ, I have faced many of my fears and, in doing so, discovered a more satisfying and joyful life. I am determined to stop living like a spiritual orphan. I have a heavenly Father who takes very good care of me!

Two truths sustain me through times of great trial and uncertainty:

Nothing touches my life that does not first pass through the hands of my heavenly Father—nothing. (Remember Job?) Whatever He allows into my life serves a greater good: making me a better son.

Everything I experience in life can equip me to become a better servant—everything. The apostle Paul reminds us that we can comfort others with the same comfort we have received from God in our own trials (2 Corinthians 1:4).

So, my dear friend, face your fears today with the confidence that God is on your side. And since (not if) He is for you, who or what can stand against you?

Thought for the Day

The good and godly person is not required to succeed in every endeavor—they're simply expected to give their best in every area of life. When we do, we move beyond merely hoping to succeed to actively positioning ourselves for success. We cannot control every outcome, but we can control the effort, attitude, and commitment we bring to the task.

I have discovered that success is often the by-product of something greater: a passion to give everything I have and bring the very best I can to everything I do. When we pursue excellence rather than applause, faithfulness rather than recognition, and purpose rather than personal gain, success often follows in ways we never anticipated.

Let's give everything we do and everyone we encounter our very best today. We may not win every battle or achieve every goal, but we can live with the satisfaction of knowing we gave our best. That's what successful people do!

Thought for the Day

Honesty is one of those virtues that many people highly esteem but struggle to practice in the day-to-day realities of life. We tend to hold on to it as long as it is light enough to carry, then drop it when its weight becomes too heavy to bear. We value the truth until telling it costs us something, threatens our reputation, or forces us to face an uncomfortable reality.

One of the defining marks of Christ’s followers, however, ought to be honesty—the presence of truth and the absence of deception. It means being the same person in private that we appear to be in public. It means allowing others to see us as we really are, without pretense, hidden agendas, or carefully constructed images. It means living in the light, openly and transparently before God and others. And let’s be honest,: that can be difficult! We would often rather protect our image than expose our imperfections.

But genuine strength is not found in pretending to be something we’re not. It is found in having the courage to tell the truth, own our failures, and walk with integrity, even when doing so comes at a cost.

May God give us the courage to walk today beneath the weight of honesty, knowing that the burden of truth is far lighter than the burden of deception.

Thought for the Day

Do you want to be a star? These days, it seems everyone is chasing fame and fortune—sending home videos to TV producers, calling radio talk shows, auditioning for movie roles, making the news, photobombing live interviews, winning contests, games, or lotteries, and so forth. Perhaps the desire for significance drives otherwise mature adults to act foolishly for fifteen seconds of personal publicity.

But the truth is that even the most famous celebrities quickly fade from memory. Can you name the winner of the Super Bowl two years ago? The current Miss America? Last year’s NBA MVP? This year’s Oscar-winning Best Actor? How about the winner of the People’s Choice Award for “Funniest Person in America”?

Being recognized, winning awards, and enjoying popularity are nice and certainly feel good, but fame isn’t worth giving your life for. If you want to be a star forever in the eyes of the only One who truly counts, check-out the prophecy in Daniel 12:3. God’s stars are wise and lead many to righteousness.

Think of those with whom you can share the marvelous news of God’s love and forgiveness in Christ—and then shine on!
