Ponder, Personalize, Practice: Ponder and meditate on Psalm 145:5. Commit this verse to memory and turn to it when you need joy, peace and patience. Gratitude changes my perspective.

Mastering the 7 Decisions from Andy Andrews

The Persistent Decision 

7. I WILL PERSIST WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

I possess the greatest power ever bestowed upon mankind. I hold fast to my dreams. I stay the course. I do not quit.

I acknowledge that most people quit when exhaustion sets in, but I am not “most people.”

I am stronger than most people. Average people compare themselves with other people, and that is why they remain average.

I compare myself to my potential. I am not average. I see exhaustion as a precursor to victory. By persisting without exception, my outcome—my success—is assured.

When God Makes Something, He Does It Right The First Time. No Regrets, No Mistakes, No Do-Overs.

 “My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.” Psalm 139:15

There are passages in the Bible that talk about God knowing all the precise details. He made the entire universe, and he formed you in your mom’s womb. He determined the speed of light and the number of hairs on your head. When we hear these descriptions about God, it helps us understand his scope and enormity just a little. But there’s a hidden point here too. God, who can see you down to the very core of who you are, is crazy about you. I mean, just head over heels about you. Not someone similar to you – actually you.

This makes me wonder why so many people are trying to be like someone else. There are so many comparison traps, from accumulation to success and even to things like sacrifice and service. We look around and ask the question, do I measure up? And if we feel like the answer is no, we get started changing things. In those moments I think God is saying, wait, hold up. Why are you moving away from the version of you I created?

Comparison seems to be a way of life, but what if it isn’t God’s way? What if we settled into how God made us and celebrated others who did the same? If God is head over heels about you, you should be too. When God makes something, He does it right the first time. No regrets, no mistakes, no 

do-overs.

What parts of who you are do you think God is most happy about?
