Likewise, you’re never too young to do anything. Don’t worry too much about the math equation. Interest, enthusiasm, cooperation, and the ability to think are much more important than intelligence. Intelligence: most people underestimate their intelligence and overestimate the IQ of others.They get unhealthy because they can’t handle their emotions well. 75% of people in the hospital have EII, Emotionally Induced Illnesses. Furthermore, whatever health problems you think you have aren’t likely so. Health: no one has a perfect body, and many succeeded despite health issues.When people start giving excuses, they know they’re lies but as time goes by, they believe in them. The more excuses you make, the more you fail. Since they believe they will succeed, they observe how the top people work, think, and succeed. But the ones that do usually reach the top. The mainstream does not like success and will often say it’s not worth the price. Why do people think small? Because their environment is constantly putting them down.

Crossway org wilkin study6/25/2023 Think of Bible study as a savings account rather than a debit card. Here are some suggestions to help you make the most of that time. So we must be sure to study the Bible with our minds as well as with our hearts.Īs you read the Bible devotionally, seek to complement this with time in which you also build a basic knowledge of Scripture. Devotional reading is beneficial, but it is not foundational, and its benefit actually increases exponentially as we grow in our foundational understanding of the Bible. This may mean we limit our time in the word to devotional reading–meditating on a passage and looking for a way to put it to immediate use. We may rush to find an application point we can act on in whatever time we have. It can be tempting to want our personal study time to fill our emotional tank for the day. But how can we make the most of the time we have to read and study? Whether we have fifteen minutes or two hours, we want our efforts to yield the most benefit possible. When we are at last able to sit down to read, we want every precious minute to count. The more we are tugged, the more we have to work to guard the time we give to personal study of our Bibles. Women today find themselves pulled in many directions: work, family, ministry, fitness, and other activities all tug at our schedules.

Wear your heart on your sleeveĪdam Kent taught me that you should love someone with your entire heart. “I'd appreciate if you'd grow the hell up and stop walking around like the world crapped on your only roll of toilet paper.” - Tahereh Mafi 4.
