Romans 2:7 "To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immorality, He will give eternal life."
Be persistent. Endure this life. Seek to be more like Him. And when you fall, ask for forgiveness and get back on the horse and try it again. The more obedient you are, the more opportunities there will be to Go!
Don't give up Jenna! Yes you have qualities that you want to "write off" but they will always be there unless I ask for God's help to change and be more like Jesus.

Day 98: He Guards
Psalm 97:10-11 "...for He guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart."
God can work miracles if you believe He can. He will protect us and love us. Blessings will come upon those who trust and love God with all of their heart soul, mind, and strength. True joy is being in the arms of the Lord.
Lord help me always to seek You in this wicked chaotic world. I want to see Your light and feel Your joy.
Thank you Father, Amen.

Day 97: Earn Your Bread
1 Thessalonians 3:11-12 "We heart that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies (interfering with the affairs of others). Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat."
Do not take other people's inventory. Instead, worry about you own life and the free will choices that you make. Earn "your bread" by being an example of Christ and by listening and praying and worshiping God.
I need to mind my own business sometimes. God has a plan for everyone and they're different ;o)

Day 96: Ask Well
2 Chronicles 1:11-12 "God said to Solomon, 'since this is your hearts desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. And I will also give you wealth, riches, and honor'."
Ask with the right motives and for the things that will help you do God's will and He will provide.

Day 95: From You
1 Chronicles 29:12 "Wealth and honor came from You; You are the ruler of all things. In Your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all."
Everything we have is God's. Our talents, our wealth, our lives. Sometimes we are so greedy and don't want to give back to God what is already His (pretty ironic actually). If God gives you the characteristic of being compassionate or a good teacher or wealthy, etc, use those to help God's children or you will not be giving back to Him.
Lord help me to always remember that everything I have is Yours. I give it all to You. I love You, I want You, I NEED You Father. Thank You! Amen

Day 94: Joyful Always
1 Thessalonians 5:16 "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
Thank God for the good and the bad--they both happen for a reason--they are part of His magnificent and perfect plan for your life...to help make you more like His precious son, Jesus...to strengthen and encourage you. Find joy and peace in God's plan for you--that we are not alone. He is with us always! And we don't have to live this life on our own but can be in constant conversation with Him through prayer thanks to Jesus who washed away all our sins so that we may be in relationship with His Father, our Lord. Give control to God (He has it anyways ;o)
Lord help me to embrace every circumstance--Good and Bad--for they are part of Your plan for my life and I trust You and You alone. Thank you Father! Amen

Day 93: Control Your Body
1 Thessalonians 4:4 "that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God."
Just like wealth and honor are not ours but God's--so are our bodies. In fact, our bodies are temples of the holy spirit and therefore should be respected and treated that way. For we know God--that His Holy Spirit dwells within us--so we are not to act like those who do not know the Gospel.
Lord help me to be strong; to not put myself in tempting situations--but when I do find myself being tempted to respect your Holy Temple--my Body. It is yours, not mine to give. Amen
