REFERENCE:

When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said. Numbers 30:2

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to fulfill your part of the bargain as it relates to the will of the Lord.

REFERENCE:

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. Genesis 4:7

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to use the word of the Lord against sin and take action accordingly. This way, it does not overtake or consume you fully. We have the power of Christ in us to overcome if we are willing and able to let faith work for us. 

REFERENCE:

The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe,
but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit. Proverbs 28:18

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to focus on walking the steps of a person without blame to avoid any pitfalls.

REFERENCE:

You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! Psalms 22:23

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to honor the Lord in everything that you say and do.

REFERENCE:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to discard the old you and the habits that it produces. After doing so, put on the new character in Christ that is being perfected in you.

REFERENCE:

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to align your life with the word of the Spirit  so that we can live and benefit from it.

REFERENCE:

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:6-8

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to follow and live under the authority of the one who called you, which is Jesus Christ, our Lord.

REFERENCE:

So this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic. Isaiah 28:16

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to wholeheartedly seek and rely on the firm foundation of the Lord. In all things, He is our refuge and the anchor to our soul when it is weak.

REFERENCE:

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to be encouraged no matter what, because the Lord our God is our true comforter. It is up to us to take possession of what is given to us freely by the Lord, who keeps us in perfect peace. 

REFERENCE:

The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to allow the Lord to be your guiding light in all matters of daily living. He is our spiritual thirst quencher.
