8/22—Start Your Day Off Right 

Quote:

Pray daily, God is easier to talk to than most people

Story:

The African impala can jump to a height of over 10 feet and cover a distance of greater than 30 feet. 

Yet these magnificent creatures can be kept in an enclosure in any zoo with a 3-foot wall. The animals will not jump if they cannot see where their feet will fall.

Faith is the ability to trust what we cannot see, and with faith we are freed from the flimsy enclosures of life that fear allows to entrap us.

Scripture: 

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Humor:

Have you ever thought about having a personal, inner thermostat or regulator? If something goes wrong you know your thermostat, God will bring everything back in line. 

It is like a checking account where you put in deposits and withdrawals. If you put a deposit amount that was actually a deduction you won’t balance or reconcile. If the Lord chastens you and you put on the withdrawal side you won’t balance or reconcile. 

You must learn where to put things and make sure they are in perspective. It is like a wagon wheel it might be down at the moment but will roll right back up, if you will give it time.

Have you ever held back in prayer because you felt your request was too big, too bold, or too impossible? Sometimes we whisper small prayers, afraid to “bother” God with the depths of our desires. But the truth is—God invites us to come boldly before His throne, not timidly.

1. God Honors Bold Faith

Hebrews 4:16 declares, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Bold requests show God that we truly believe He is who He says He is—the Almighty, the Provider, the Waymaker. When we pray small, we limit our vision; when we pray big, we align ourselves with His power.

2. Remember Who You’re Asking

You’re not asking a friend for a favor—you’re speaking to the Creator of heaven and earth. The One who split the Red Sea, calmed the storm, and raised the dead still has unlimited resources. If He could feed 5,000 with a few loaves and fish, surely He can meet your need today.

3. Bold Prayers Come From Bold Trust

Making bold requests doesn’t mean demanding your way—it means trusting God with His way. It’s saying, “Lord, this is the desire of my heart, but I trust Your wisdom above mine.” True boldness is rooted in surrender, not arrogance.

4. Ask, Believe, and Expect

Jesus said in John 14:13-14, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Bold prayers glorify God when the answer is undeniable evidence of His hand at work. Don’t just ask—believe and expect Him to move.

Final Thought

Don’t be afraid to bring your deepest desires and impossible situations before the Lord. He delights in showing Himself strong on behalf of those who trust Him. Today, stretch your faith—pray big, ask boldly, and watch God do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

God is not intimidated by your request—He is honored by your faith.

Psalms 133:1-3. A SONG OF DEGREES OF DAVID.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head,
that ran down upon the beard,
even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
for there the LORD commanded the blessing,
even life for evermore.

Until it’s my turn I will keep clapping for others it’s really that simple!

Story:

 Best Day Or Worst Day—Perspective

Charles Francis Adams, 19th century political figure and diplomat, kept a diary. One day he entered: “Went fishing with my son today–a day wasted.” His son, Brook Adams, also kept a diary, which is still in existence. On that same day, Brook Adams made this entry: “Went fishing with my father–the most wonderful day of my life!” The father thought he was wasting his time while fishing with his son, but his son saw it as an investment of time. The only way to tell the difference between wasting and investing is to know one’s ultimate purpose in life and to judge accordingly.

Humor:

Interviewer: “I see your birthday is May 5, Ms. Beale. May I ask what year?”   Ms. Beale: “Every year.”

-A King stood high above his subjects on a balcon y. I need a kidney and I wonder if any of you below would be willing to give me one of yours? I know it is asking a lot and would be a great sacrifice! A loud cry went up from the majority crying loudly let it be me, please let it be me!!

The King turned to his main aide and asked how can I choose among them since so many want to volunteer? There was a feather near his feet and he got an idea! He told his subjects I know what I’ll do, I’ll drop this feather and whoever it lands on will get the honor of donating me a kidney.

As the feather came slowly descending a swooshing sound could be heard as the subjects started blowing the feather. This is the way of a lot of people that tell God let me, let me God. But when God says ok go ahead they start trying to shift the load off them and onto someone else! They start to blow the feather away from themselves.

Every sunrise whispers the same truth: yesterday is gone, and today is a brand-new gift. Too often, we carry the weight of yesterday’s failures, regrets, or anxieties into today, and it robs us of the joy of fresh opportunities. But God never intended for us to live chained to the past.

1. Leave Yesterday Behind

The apostle Paul said, “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” (Philippians 3:13). Yesterday’s mistakes cannot be undone, but they also don’t define your tomorrow. Each new day is a chance to rewrite your story with courage, faith, and determination.

2. Choose to See Today’s Potential

It’s easy to see obstacles, but faith trains us to see opportunities. Think of today not as “another ordinary day,” but as a stepping stone toward your destiny. Even small steps taken today are progress toward something greater.

3. Start Where You Are, With What You Have

Sometimes we wait for the “perfect moment” to act, but the perfect moment is now. Great journeys begin with simple steps. Whether it’s offering kindness, pursuing a goal, or speaking words of encouragement, your efforts today matter.

4. Trust God With the Unknown

A new beginning can feel uncertain, but that’s where faith shines brightest. The Lord says in Isaiah 43:19, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” God is already at work in ways you cannot yet see—your job is to trust Him and walk forward in confidence.

Final Thought

Today is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a divine invitation to start fresh. Don’t let yesterday’s shadows darken today’s light. Step forward with courage, faith, and gratitude, because this could be the day that everything begins to change.

Today is your new beginning—embrace it boldly.
