Faithful
Luke 16:10-11 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?”

Not Automatic
Numbers 27:7-8 “The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate. You must give them a grant of land along with their father’s relatives. Assign them the property that would have been given to their father… If a man dies and has no son, then give his inheritance to his daughters.”
Joshua 14:10-11 “Now, as you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness.

Wholeheartedly
Matthew 5:8 “When you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right, then you can see God in the outside world.” (MSG, emphasis added)
Joshua 14:8 “…For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.” (emphasis added). The state of your heart determines the level of your access to God’s promises and God’s presence.

Watch It!
Joshua 14:8 “but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.” (emphasis added).
Your Attitude Truly Determines Your Altitude. In many cases, it is your attitude that writes you off, not the opposition. It is the attitude that you have that determines whether you can take that mountain or not. The reason many people are not promoted is their attitude and not their skill. Read the rest of this entry
