Scripture: Luke 5: 5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

Observation: I usually make excuses to God why I can’t do something or explain I already tried with no luck. Unfortunately, I’m not like Peter and goes ahead and does what Jesus wants me to do. I believe God wants me to finish the counseling course and start writing again, yet I put it off saying I’m too busy and there are other things to do.

Application: I need to plan on getting the things my Lord wants me to do as first priority. Start writing at least an hour a day and finish watching the the counseling ministry.

Prayer: Dear Lord give me strength and discipline to fulfill the purpose you have created me for.

Scripture: Luke 4: 8 Jesus answered, “It is written: `Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’ ”

Observation: I’ve been using this verse for years whenever I’m tempted or my mind goes astray. Whenever I sin, I’m out of God’s grace and in practicality worshiping Satan. Only when I’m not sinning am I worshipping God and when I do His will I’m serving Him.

Application: To be aware of what I’m doing at all times. As soon as I feel myself moving away from God, I need to worship him with a prayer, a thank you or simply tell Him how much I love Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord may I serve only you and may I please you with my thoughts, action and speech, may they glorify you.
