Story:

 

I have heard the remarks insinuating that if you praise people you will ruin them and give them the big head. How true this is if we’re talking about one out of ten people. But, is not the other nine more valuable than just the one? Because in the other nine of them they will be greatly helped in my opinion. 

Nagging doesn’t help wives change husbands. My mother used to make a big deal when I did something right that she was my cheering section. A man gets married and mother’s not there to clap and cheer and he winds up in confusion. 

The Bible speaks about speaking the truth in love. I have found that whatever you say and put no love with it winds up having no effect. Love can run around the block six times or more before criticism can get its shoes on.

Scripture:

1 Corinthians 12:28

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Did you hear the story of Bill? Bill was out of work and applied for a janitorial position at the local downtown First Baptist Church. He was asked to complete an application. Bill had to confess that he couldn’t write or read.

They turned him down saying that some of the janitor’s duties involved reading work orders. Discouraged but not down, Bill bought a basket of apples, set up shop on the side of the road. Business was good. Bill knew where to get the best apples. He sold out his inventory, bought some more and did the same.

Several years later, he had amassed over one million dollars. He went to a bank and asked for a loan to expand and construct a building for his fruit company. The bank officer said, “Here, fill out this form.” “Sorry, but I can’t write,” Bill said.

The banker shot back, “You can’t write? Just think where you would be if you could read and write!!” Bill muttered, “I know exactly where I would be, I’d be a janitor at First Baptist Church.”

Bill was motivated. He used what he had. How about you?

Anger is a powerful emotion. It can roar like a wildfire or smolder like hot coals. If left unchecked, it can burn bridges, wound relationships, and scar our hearts. But when understood and controlled, anger can become a force for positive change.

The Bible doesn’t say never to get angry—it says, “Be angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath” (Ephesians 4:26). Anger is a natural human response, but it’s what we do with it that determines whether it heals or harms.

Maybe you’ve been wronged, overlooked, or misunderstood. Those feelings are valid. But staying angry is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to suffer. Forgiveness, understanding, and patience are the water that quenches the fire.

🔑 Here’s how to rise above destructive anger:

Pause before reacting – Take a breath. Count to ten. Respond with wisdom, not impulse. Pray about it – Ask God to give you peace and clarity. He understands your hurt. Turn it into action – Use your anger to motivate change, not to cause destruction. Forgive freely – Not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.

🔥 Remember, being angry doesn’t make you weak or sinful—it makes you human. But mastering your anger makes you strong.

Quote of the Day:

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else—you are the one who gets burned.” – Buddha

Let today be the day you release the fire within and walk in the cool breeze of grace.

Choose Wisely How You Deal With Someone

Story:

 

I’m just a plowhand from Arkansas, but I have learned how to hold a team together. How to lift some men up, how to calm down others, until finally they’ve got one heartbeat together, a team. 

There’s just three things I’d ever say: If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, then we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.

Bear Bryant.

There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go, if he doesn’t care who gets the credit.

Scripture: 

Proverbs 16:7

When a man’s ways please the LORD,

he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

There’s a story about a miner who gave up digging just three feet from striking gold. After years of effort and struggle, he sold his equipment and walked away. The man who bought it dug just a little further—and hit the richest vein of gold in the region.

How many of us quit just before the breakthrough?

Life can feel like a mountain too steep or a tunnel too dark. But sometimes, success is just one more step beyond the struggle.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9

You may not see the results yet. You may feel overlooked or overwhelmed. But every small act of effort is building something bigger than you can imagine.

Keep pressing forward. Keep showing up. Keep believing.

Because what if today is the day the tide turns?

Don’t stop digging—you might be just three feet from gold.

Stay motivated. Stay faithful. Keep stepping.

If there’s one quality that separates those who dream from those who achieve, it’s persistence.

Talent is great. Opportunity is helpful. But persistence—the refusal to give up, even when the road is tough—is what turns potential into progress. It’s the steady drip of water that wears away the stone. It’s showing up, day after day, believing that your efforts matter, even when you can’t yet see the results.

You may not be where you want to be yet, but keep going. Don’t let the delays discourage you. Don’t let temporary failure define you. Each step forward, no matter how small, is still a step closer to your goal.

The Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:9:

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

That “due season” might not be today—but it’s coming. Your persistence is planting seeds that will grow in time.

So today, on July 25, take a deep breath. Recommit. Press on. Your breakthrough may be just one step beyond your last attempt.

Keep going. Keep believing. Keep showing up.

Because persistence? It pays off.

Psalms 37:23-25 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD:
and he delighteth in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
I have been young, and now am old;
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread.

Have The Right Blueprint And The Right Perspective 

God says don’t build anything I haven’t given you a strategy for or a blueprint. God said if I give you a strategy or blue print that means I’m getting ready to use you! 

The only difference in you and the person you admire is this perspective they have on life! If you are disciplined in your perspective, you will be victorious in your outcome!! 

It is like going to the eye Doctor so

that you can see better. If you are not Thankful, then you need to get an Spiritual adjustment for your Spiritual eyesight!

One thing I do, that you might try, is putting a reminder on your phone, three times a day, to be more thankful.

Well, that’s pretty petty you might think, how could that work? Just try it for 21 days and see what it does, you may just get surprised!

Your perspective is critical to being an overcomer because it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you react to what happens to you that matters. Ability to manage problems is what separates the CEO from the janitor.

The higher up you go the more problems you will encounter and your ability to have the proper perspective under fire is critical and it takes much discipline. It takes discipline to remain cool and calm under fire.

Scripture:

Mark 8:22-25

And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
