Ask God To Help You Get Where You Want to Be

http://profile.purposedriven.com/dailyhope/post.html?contentid=5144

Daily Hope

"O Lord, God of my master, Abraham," he prayed. "Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham." Genesis 24:12 (NLT)

"Your prayers reveal how serious you are about your goals. If you don't pray about them, you really don't care about them that much."

The fourth step to getting where you want to be in life is simple: ask God to help you.

Step #1 - Determine your present position
Step #2 - Be specific about what you want
Step #3 - Look for God's promise
Step #4 -- Ask God to help you

Once you have found your promise in God's Word, pray and ask God for success, just as Eliezer did in today's verse.

Is it really okay to pray for success? Yes! If you aren't praying for success, what's the alternative? Are you going to pray for God to make you a failure? Eliezer clearly shows us that it is okay to ask God for success in accomplishing a goal as long as the motive is right.

When your success helps people and honors God, praying for success does not become a selfish act. It is the means to good testimony. In fact, here is what the Bible says, "So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God and there we will receive mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it" (Hebrews 4:16 NLT).

If you study Genesis 24 further, you'll find that Eliezer prayed during his entire mission. In verse 12 he prays before he starts. In verse 15 he prays after he arrives in Nahor. And in verse 52 he prays in front of Rebekah's family.

So my question to you today is this: Are you praying about your goals? Are you praying about your future? Are you praying about your dreams or are you just kind of keeping them to yourself?

Your prayers reveal a couple of things. First, they reveal how serious you are about your goals. If you don't pray about them, you really don't care about them that much. If you only pray about them once, they are not a desire, they are just a whim.

The other thing your prayers reveal is how much you are depending on God to reach your goals. If you never pray about your goals, never pray about your job, never pray about your finances, you are not depending on God in any of those areas. The more you depend on God, the more you'll pray.

So determine your present position, decide what you want, find a promise from God to hold onto, claim it, and then ask God for help.

Seth's Blog: Getting smart about the hierarchy of smart

Getting smart about the hierarchy of smart

Don't talk to all your employees, all your users or all your prospects the same way, because they're not the same.

The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition posits that there are five stages people go through:

1. Novice
--wants to be given a manual, told what to do, with no decisions possible

2. Advanced beginner
--needs a bit of freedom, but is unable to quickly describe a hierarchy of which parts are more important than others

3. Competent
--wants the ability to make plans, create routines and choose among activities

4. Proficient
--the more freedom you offer, the more you expect, the more you'll get

5. Expert
--writes the manual, doesn't follow it.

If you treat an expert like a novice, you'll fail.

Bible Study Humor

Bible Study Humor 
  

  

LOT'S  WIFE  
   The  Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot 's  wife looked back and turned into a pillar of  salt , when little Jason interrupted , 'My Mommy  looked back once while she was driving , ' he  announced triumphantly , 'and she turned into a  telephone pole!' 

GOOD  SAMARITAN 
     A Sunday school teacher was telling her class  the story of the Good Samaritan.  She asked  the class , 'If you saw a person lying on the  roadside , all wounded and bleeding , what would  you do?'  A thoughtful little girl broke  the hushed silence , 'I think I'd throw  up.' 

DID  NOAH FISH? 
     A Sunday school teacher asked , 'Johnny , do you  think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on  the Ark ? ''No , ' replied Johnny. 'How could he  , with just two worms.' 

HIGHER  POWER 
     A Sunday school teacher said to her children ,  'We have been learning how powerful kings and  queens were in Bible times. But , there is a  Higher Power. Can anybody tell me what it is?  One child blurted out , '  Aces!' 

MOSES  AND THE RED SEA   
   Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School. 'Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.' 
'Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?' his Mother asked.  
'Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!' 

THE  LORD IS MY SHEPHERD 
     A Sunday School teacher decided to have her  young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.  Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. 
     On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation ,  Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly,  'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know.' 

UNANSWERED  PRAYER 
     The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that  her father always paused and bowed his head for  a moment before starting his sermon.  One  day , she asked him why. 
'Well  , Honey , ' he began , proud that his daughter  was so observant of his messages.  'I'm  asking the Lord to help me preach a good  sermon.' 
'How  come He doesn't answer it?' she asked.   

UNTIMELY  ANSWERED PRAYER 
     During the minister's prayer one Sunday , there  was a loud whistle from one of the back  pews.  Tommy's mother was horrified. She  pinched him into silence and , after church ,  asked , 'Tommy , whatever made you do such a  thing?' 
Tommy  answered soberly , 'I asked God to teach me to  whistle , and He did!' 

ALL  MEN / ALL GIRLS 
      When my daughter , Kelli , said her bedtime  prayers , she would bless every family member ,  every friend , and every animal (current and  past).   For several weeks , after we  had finished the nightly prayer , Kelli would  say , 'And all girls.'  This soon became  part of her nightly routine , to include this  closing.  My curiosity got the best of me  and I asked her , 'Kelli , why do you always add  the part about all girls?' 
       Her response , 'Because everybody always finish  their prayers by saying 'All  Men'!' 

SAY  A PRAYER     
    Little  Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner  at his Grandmother's house.  Everyone was  seated around the table as the food was being  served.  When Little Johnny received his  plate , he started eating right  away. 
     'Johnny!  Please wait until we say our  prayer.'  said his mother.  
    'I don't need to , '  the boy  replied. 
     'Of course , you do.'  his mother  insisted.  'We always say a prayer before  eating at our house.' 
   'That's at our house.'  Johnny  explained.  'But this is Grandma's house  and she knows how to  cook!'

Juice Plus and Skin Health - VEGGIES vs. ACNE article from Dole

Nutrition News Desk

VEGGIES vs. ACNE

30% Fewer Pimples with 5+ Servings

Striving for an unblemished complexion? Bypass the skin care aisle and head to the produce section! Eating more raw veggies might reduce breakouts by as much as 30%, according to new research. 

A recent study from the University of Oslo compared dietary habits with incidence and severity of acne among 3,775 college students. Researchers found that women who ate more than five servings of raw vegetables daily enjoyed significantly fewer skin eruptions. "This has never been shown before," announced study authors. Less statistically significant, though interesting: both males and females who often ate potato chips suffered 5% more breakouts, while a frequent sweet tooth translated into 4% more "bad skin days." 

Why might this be? Previous research suggests that many of the antioxidants in fruit and vegetables help reduce inflammation associated with skin problems. Fending off wrinkles rather than pimples? Produce bolsters skin health on this front too: British researchers found fewer signs of skin aging among women with the highest vitamin C intake. By contrast, sweets and meats contribute to toxins that undermine skin elasticity. More evidence that true beauty comes from within -- at least within your diet! 

Bonus: Exercise for a glowing complexion. Contrary to myth, workouts do not contribute to breakouts -- and physical activity may even help reduce the risk of skin cancer.
