The one who obey's God's instruction for today will develop a keen awareness of His direction for tomorrow.

Remember who you are. Don't compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.

So often, we want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention. But we need to leave enough space in our days to get up from our prayers and actually look for God in the moment-to-moment things that happen.

Whether we're on the path toward victory or defeat is determined by the very next choice we make. Not the choices from yesterday. Not the choices five minutes ago.

Humility opens the door of opportunity.

Just because we feel offended doesn't mean we must be offended. Feelings are indicators not dictators.

On the other end of the spectrum, we can't use this permission to sometimes say no and use it as a wand to wish away all our responsibilities. We also must remember not to use our "no" answers as a weapon. We can't turn into No! ninjas, karate-chopping anyone who even comes close to asking us for something.
