Day 10 The Resourceful Mindset

The Resourceful Mindset


             We have been focusing on the mindset of a warrior for the past two days. Looking at the life of Gideon and David. Surely, we can dig a little deeper into the the lives of both men to pull out some attributes we all could use to become a warrior. However, I would like to introduce another warrior, Esther. She is not a likely choice but she is a great example of a key concept needed in a warrior, resourcefulness. Hence, the resourceful mindset needed by every warrior. The word resourceful is defined as having the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties. It is the ability to promptly find solutions and deal with difficulties. After that definition you should absolutely see how Esther can be identified as having this mindset. Sure, the Bible describes her as being a beautiful woman but she was resourceful. This woman did not panic at the threat of her nation being wiped out. Being resourceful is bringing value to the table and utilizing the value in others. She used the wisdom of Mordecai, the rule of the king and the obedience of the Jewish people. Esther 4:16 "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish." Esther was resourceful and selfless. A true warrior indeed!

Day 20 God Says So!

God says so! This challenge has examined some things in us that needed to be changed or finessed. We know the mind is truly the battleground!!! The comfort comes from knowing it is indeed a fixed fight. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Is the instruction given clear but your trying to make it logical in your own eyes. When I was a child I can remember asking my mom “why” after being told to do something. Not only would I get the evil eye but she would say “because I said so”. Sometimes the instruction is “God says so”. No logic or reason you can possibly understand. So move because God says so! Start the ministry because God says so!  Trust that your children’s success is written because God says so! That last one was for myself. As we are drawing to a close I want you to know there is no greater resource than God. It’s my passion to instruct people and ...

Day 19 Start with Love Part 2

Start With Love part 2  The last 2 days have been about loving Jesus and being obedient. Yesterday the private group focused on “why I love Jesus”. One member said it’s like the song says “because he first loved me”. We are heading into the hardest part of the matter which is loving others. I’m not talking about just loving the people who love you. I mean loving the people who you know don’t like you or have your best interest in mind. You might ask why do we have to do that. Firstly, is it necessary to have that loving attitude and mindset because it drives your actions and your choices. Luke 6:27-36 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to other...
