                                                                               Matthew 5:13

   "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it's saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

   "You are the light of the earth. A city on a hill can not be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on it's stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and and praise the your Father in heaven."

                                                                             Matthew 5:13-16

  "'Which ones?' the man inquired.

  "'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honour your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbour as yourself'.''

   "'All these I have kept,' the young man said. 'What do I still lack?'

   "By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

   "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be ill-treated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasers of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of a greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward."
                                                                          Hebrews 11:23-26

Today is the Day- I will see God first in all I do.

Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners', expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

         "In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom."
                                                                                             Daniel 1:20

        "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia (Hebrew Shinar) and put it in the treasure house of his god.
       "Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring in some of the Israelites from the royal family and nobility-young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king's palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king's table. They were to trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king's service.
        "Among these were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
        "But Daniel resolved to not to defile himself with royal food and wine, so he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself in this way. Now God had caused the official to show favor and sympathy to Daniel, but the official told Daniel, 'I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men of your age? The king would then have my head because of you." 
         
                                                                                            Daniel 1:1-10

Today is the Day-I will be strong when I stick with other Christians and with God.

     "He said, 'The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

                                 'Though seeing, they may not see;
                              Though hearing, they may not understand.'"
                                                                                              Luke 8:10

     "While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable, 'A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among the thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.
     "When he said this, he cried out, 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear.'
     "His disciples asked him what this parable meant.   "He said, 'The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

                                 'Though seeing, they may not see;
                              Though hearing, they may not understand.'
      "This is the meaning of the parable: the seed is the Word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes word away from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root."
                                                                                          Luke 8:4-15

Today is the Day-I will study the Bible because it is God's words.

"The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for all those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far as He has removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him."
