Daily Bible Reading - Sunday - February 7th

Reading today’s scriptures really got me to thinking about the second coming.  In Exodus they are building temple and God gives them specific instructions on what to build and exactly how to build it.  It seems each detail of the temple, the altar the veil and all have a specific meaning.  Then over in Matthew it goes on talking about the bridegroom coming back and have you used what talents God gave you or have you just buried them.  We see in Matt. 25 He gave 3 different people different talents, 2 of them used those talents and multiplied them, the one just buried the one talent he was given for safe keeping.  When He returned the two that used and multiplied their talents He was very well pleased with and gave them more but the one that went and buried his the Master was displeased and gave the money he had to one of them that was faithful and put the man out in the darkness.  This sure made me think of the knowledge we have been given on WLS and how we use it.  If we use the knowledge we have been given properly we are very successful and live a longer healthier life but if we don’t use what knowledge we have been given we end up in the same shape we have been all our lives, not losing weight and not healthy and will most likely end up in the grave early.  Reading this really makes me look at myself and makes sure I am doing the right things, I want to be one of the successful not one that lives in the darkness of obesity the rest of my life.

"I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises"
(Psalm 34:1, NLT)

When you wake up in the morning, do you expect the goodness of God in your life? Do you set the tone for success, favor, and blessing? We're in the second month of the new year and we're not only beginning a new year, but we're beginning a new decade. This last decade may have had some hardships, some difficulties but it's time to set the tone for a new season.

The Scripture tells us that the darker it gets in the world the brighter it’s going to be for God's people. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining, and discouraged but don't let that spirit rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you're going to shine. Be determined to set the tone for the new decade by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. As you do, you'll enlarge your vision and make room for God to do amazing things in every area of your life!
