    God can set you free from perfectionism.

    SEP. 16, 2026 God can set you free from perfectionism. "Why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?" Gal 3:3 NLT Do you beat yourself up when you fall short of your expectations? Or do you feel that what you accomplish is never good enough? Are you slow to make a decision because you must make sure it is just right? Is your quest to be blameless really an attempt to protect yourself from criticism and disapproval? You'll never experience peace and emotional security if everything associated with you has to be perfect. Perfectionism is a mindset of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors aimed at reaching unrealistic goals. Psychologist Dr. David Viscott explained it this way: "A controlling adult's wish to be perfect stems from the childhood wish to be blameless. Since real growth means embracing your faults and examining your weaknesses, controlling people run the greatest risk of becoming rigid and failing because of their insistence on always being right. They need to feel they are beyond criticism so that no one will have a good reason for withholding what they need or rejecting them. They believe they need to be perfect just to be safe, so admitting even small imperfections makes them uneasy and self-doubting." In today's society, many people believe that being a perfectionist is desirable and necessary for success. Therefore, they wear their perfectionism like a badge of honor. The truth is that by being a perfectionist, you set yourself up to fail each day. But you don't have to live that way. Why? Because when you accept Christ as your Savior, God accepts you with all your imperfections. And His unconditional love and acceptance set you free to love and accept yourself.

    Rearrange your priorities at home

    SEP. 17, 2026 Rearrange your priorities at home. "They made me the keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept." SS 1:6 NKJV Bill Gaston was at the peak of his career when he resigned as a domestic policy adviser to President Bill Clinton to return to teaching at the University of Maryland. His reason was "to strike a new balance" between work and family. Galston had worked more than a decade on the ideas he hoped to see come to pass.  At the White House, he helped form the National Campaign against Teen Pregnancy, planned the National Service Program, and worked on Education Reform and Head Start Legislation. He consulted widely with administration officials, had an excellent reputation, and loved his job. He tried integrating time with his son, Ezra, into his schedule-even bringing him to his White House office in the evening. However, Galston was continually hounded by the fact that he often came home too tired to spend quality time with the boy.  He struggled with the contradiction between his "Putting Children First" theme for welfare and the practical implementation of this ideal in his own home. What triggered his resignation? His son Ezra sent him a note that said: "Baseball is not fun when there's no one there to applaud you." Was that a hard choice for Bill Galston to make? Yes, but it's one he never regretted. Question: Are you giving your family the time they need and the time they deserve? Do these words describe your struggle to balance the demands of work and family? "They made me the keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept." If this Scripture speaks to you as a parent, it's time to rearrange your priorities at home.

    How to deal with temptation.

    SEP. 14, 2026 How to deal with temptation. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man." 1Co 10:13 NKJV You should deal with temptation in the same way you would deal with weeds in a garden. You can't just cut off the tops of the weeds, because in a few days, they'll be back. Similarly, saying, "I'll just stop sinning" addresses only the externals. Another option is mowing the weeds all the way down to the ground, cutting off the shoots. Now the garden looks good and weed-free for a while, but it doesn't stay weed-free.  The only effective way to deal with temptation is at its root. The Bible says: "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape." What is God's "way of escape" for you? Living in His Word and allowing His Word to live in you. Satan tempted Jesus three different times in the wilderness, but Jesus overcame him.  How? Three times He answered, "It is written." You need to know and use the Word of God in your encounters with temptation. The battlefield is in your mind. This is why Paul said, "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth" (Col 3:2 NKJV).  It's why he wrote this to the Philippian Christians: "Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things" (Php 4:8 NKJV).

    Always do the honorable things

    AUG. 25, 2026 Always do the honorable thing. "We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable. 2Co 8:21 NLT In an extensive opinion survey called The Day America Told the Truth, James Patterson and Peter Kim reported these startling findings. Only 13 percent of those interviewed believed that all Ten Commandments are still binding and relevant today. Ninety-one percent admitted that they lied regularly, both at home and at work. Most workers admitted to goofing off an average of seven hours a week.About half of the workforce admitted they regularly called in sick, even when they felt well. When they were asked what they would be willing to do for ten million dollars,  25 percent said they would abandon their families, 23 percent said they'd be willing to work as a prostitute for a week, and 7 percent said they'd be willing to murder a stranger!And should you conclude that those surveyed are the unsaved and the unchurched, Doug Sherman and William Hendricks surveyed Christians and found that they were almost as likely as unbelievers to do these things too. They admitted to stealing in the workplace, falsifying their tax returns, and selectively obeying the laws. Paul wrote to the Corinthians: 'We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable." Then he wrote to the Christians in Rome: "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you" (Ro 12:2 NLT). So always do the honorable thing.

    Healing for shame and condemnation.

    SEP. 9, 2026 Healing for shame and condemnation. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2Co 5:21 NIV Shame and condemnation are two weapons Satan will use to torment you. They will steal your rest and sap the joy out of your life. What's the answer?  Begin to see yourself as God sees you. "God made him [Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." When we are aware of our shortcomings, how is it possible to believe that God sees us as "righteous" and wants us to see ourselves that way too? Because when you became a Christian, God placed you "in Christ"; therefore, you are always accepted by Him. "Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ro 5:1 NIV).The word justified means: "just-as-if-I'd never sinned." And that's how God sees you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred sixty-five days a year, all the way from the new birth to the New Jerusalem. Plus, Jesus understands your struggles since He dealt with them Himself. He "understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most" (Heb 4:15-16 NLT).  Confession: "Jesus took all the shame and condemnation for my sin on the cross, and I am in right standing with God because I'm 'in Christi Healing for shame and condemnation  He "understands our weaknesses."

    Put the past behind you.

    AUG. 20, 2026 Put the past behind you. "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” Isa 43:18-19 NIV After falling twice in the 1988 Olympic speed-skating races, Dan Jansen sought out sports psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr, who helped him find a new balance between sport and the rest of his life and to pay more attention to the mental aspects of skating. Peter Mueller became his coach, putting him through workouts that he described as "the toughest I've ever known." By the time the 1994 Olympics arrived, Jansen had more confidence than ever. He had set a 500-meter world record just two months previously, so that race seemed to be all his! Then the unimaginable happened, and he fell during the 500-meter race. Dr. Loehr advised him, "Start preparing for the 1000-meter race. Put the 500-meter race behind you immediately. Stop reliving it. Think 1000!" For years Jansen didn't believe he could win that distance, as he had always considered it his weaker event. Now it was his last chance at an Olympic medal. As the race began, Jansen said, "I just seemed to be sailing along," and then he slipped and came within an inch of stepping on a lane marker. Still, he didn't panic; he raced on and recorded a world-record time that won him the gold medal. There's an important lesson here for you. Put the past behind and believe that God has greater days in store for you-because He does. So the word for you today is this: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thingỊẠỊi Put the past behind you God has greater days in store for you.

    Recall your past victories

    SEP. 10, 2026 Recall your past victories. "Remember well what the Lord your God did." Dt 7:18 NIV The ability to recall the past is one of the most powerful functions of your brain. And when you recall past victories, you rekindle the courage, joy, and sense of accomplishment associated with the victory. You can never underestimate the power of an experience to re-inspire faith. From the parting of the Red Sea to the fall of Jericho, the Israelites had numerous miracles God had performed on their behalf.  And He had cautioned them about forgetting His mighty acts: "Remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear" (Dt 7:18-19 NIV).  If you've allowed Satan to give you "experience amnesia" and have forgotten those times of divine intervention in your life, why not recall someone else's testimony? Faith can come from more than one direction. Recall the good things God has done for your friends, acquaintances, and coworkers. Miracles are exciting, no matter who the recipient is. And if God did it before, He can certainly do it again. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Heb 13:8 NIV).  When something in your future feels threatening, stop and remember God's goodness to you in the past. Recall a time or incident in which He brought you out of a difficult situation that you thought you'd never get through. The word for you today is-recall your past victories.

    Has God given you a good idea?

    SEP. 3, 2026 Has God given you a good idea? "I will...show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jer 33:3 NKJV Most success stories begin as an idea in someone's mind. And God is the giver of good ideas. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights" (Jas 1:17 NKJV). God imparts wisdom and knowledge to those who are humble enough to seek His guidance. His promise is: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not knowiỊi Robert Chesebrough had a product in which he believed wholeheartedly. In fact, it was his own invention.  Chesebrough had transformed the ooze that forms on shafts of oil rings-rod wax-into a petroleum jelly that he personally found to have great healing properties. He believed so much in the healing aspects of his creation that he became his own "experimental subject." To demonstrate the benefits of his product for others, he burned himself with acid and flame. He cut and scratched himself so often and so deeply that he bore scars of his tests for his entire life. Nevertheless, Chesebrough proved his point, and people were convinced.  They only had to look at his wounds and how they were healed to see the value of his product, which is still an international bestseller. We know it as Vaseline. What do you see in your future? Do you believe enough in its potential to help others that you're willing to invest your time, energy, resources, and hope into developing it? If you seek God's guidance, He will "show you great and mighty things, which you do not knowịỊi Has God given you a good idea? God imparts wisdom and knowledge.
