So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

Ephesians 5:15-17 ‭(NLT‬‬)

Good Morning,

Happy Tuesday! This is an outstanding October for you because of the open doors, opportunities, and breakthroughs God is bringing your way. Did you know that the way you think about yourself actually plays a role in what doors, opportunities, and breakthroughs you experience? Let’s dive in.

First, thank you to everyone who ordered their copy of The Rhythm of Rest last week! (If you haven’t ordered your copy, you can do so today!) After you have ordered your copy, please leave a 5-star review on Amazon. Thank you for your support! I greatly appreciate it!

Ephesians 5 instructs us to pay attention how we live. It tells us not to live thoughtlessly. Proverbs 23:7 even tells us that as a man thinks in his heart so is he. People who consider themselves successful, step out more because they believe they will be successful. People who consider themselves fortunate take on bolder challenges because they see themselves as fortunate and believe it will work out for them. How much more should we have that mentality as a blessed people?

Throughout the Old and New Testament we see the power of the blessing of God. Galatians 3:13 & 14 shares that we are the blessed. The blessing isn’t a feeling; it’s a special empowerment of God.

You are blessed. You have been empowered by God. It’s time to renew your mind to that truth. It’s time to think like you are blessed because you are blessed. When you think that way, you will be more than willing to take advantage of all the open doors, opportunities, and breakthroughs God brings your way.

In today’s podcast devotional on YouTube, Apple Podcast or Spotify , I expound even more along these lines. Stream it and share it! I’m praying for you. Pray the prayer below, read the Faith in the Morning Affirmation, vote in the poll below, and order your copy of the Rhythm of Rest. Have a great day and an amazing week!

Last week, we launched my new book, The Rhythm of Rest. I’m so excited for you to get your copy. I believe the truths in this book will help you live a productive, creative, enjoyable, and fulfilling life. Order your copy today!

Pray this prayer with me today, “Father, thank you for loving me. I thank you that all your promises are trustworthy. I thank you that you never leave me nor forsake me. I thank you that you hear and answer prayer. This is an outstanding month for me. I thank you for granting me open doors, opportunities, and breakthroughs. Reveal the doors and paths you have for me. Grant me insight concerning my routines so that I can make the necessary changes in order to take advantage of the open doors and opportunities you are bringing my way. I receive your help, wisdom, and strength. Thank you! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
