#RealityCheck Everything in creation responds to spoken words; If you’re going to live the glorious life that God has planned for you to live, you must learn to speak the right words. Whether you flourish or fail, live or die, depends on your words. You’re created in the image and likeness of God; you look like Him, and function like Him. That means, like Him, your words are spirit and they’re life; they produce the message they bear or communicate.

#RealityCheck Christmas means the Word has come; the Word is born. He was born “Emmanuel,” but today, He’s the Word alive in you. Every step Jesus took was the Word of God in motion; the Word personified. And the day you received Him to live in you, you became the Word in motion, for as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). No wonder Paul calls us the Epistle (Word) of Christ. 

Daily Juice Every situation has three dimensions; Your views, People's views and the Truth. Success goes with the one who follows the Truth. The difference between seasons in a man's life is simply an instruction.  This spirit of trying to out-do others is wrong! Out-do your past and out-do yourself. Stop trying to out-do someone else because you don't know the kind of journey God has given that person to run. We need to recognize that our accomplishments don't make us better or worse than others. God doesn't value us or define us by what we do; He looks at our hearts and why we do what we do. Better performance does not make a better person. A person's character can be severely lacking even though their performance is good. God's gifts and callings are independent of our performance. God is more interested in your relationship with Him than in what you do for Him. He is more interested in who you are than in what you do.
