7am: Dishonesty Is Doomed
Selwyn Hughes

"Dishonesty puts sand in the machinery of life," says one writer. I would add: "And honesty and integrity put in oil." We can choose to live with sand, or oil, in our inner mechanism.
I cannot say whether or not I would ever lie. I would like to think not - but I am fallible and human. I know this, however: my moral joints will creak if I am dishonest. I am made for integrity and I will not function well without it.
Prayer:
O Father, help me grasp this simple but important fact – I am designed in my inner being for truth and honesty.
When I work with truth, I go leaping into life. When I work without it, I limp.
Drive this truth deep into my being. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

2pm: The Fallacy of Full-Time Christian Work
Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman


"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17).

Wherever you are called, serve the Lord in that place. Let Him demonstrate His power through your life so that others might experience Him through you today.
