Have A Winning Day

HAVE A WINNING DAY

Today's Freedom Fighter is a little different and I trust you will receive it in the right spirit ... it is not meant to be a devotional, however, the principles are really right on for helping you and me have a WINNING DAY.

Here are 21 ways to have a winning day:

1. You have to listen more than you talk.
2. You have to give more than you get.
3. You have to smile more than you frown.
4. You have to think "we" more than you think "me."
5. You have to agree more than you disagree.
6. You have to compliment more than you criticize.
7. You have to laugh more than you cry.
8. You have to clean up more than you mess up.
9. You have to be positive more than you're negative.
10. You have to be fascinated more than you are frustrated.
11. You have to "walk the walk" more than you "talk the talk."
12. You have to be accepting more than rejecting.
13. You have to see the cup "half full" more than you see it "half empty."
14. You have to help more than you hinder.

15. You have to believe in yourself more than you doubt yourself.
16. You have to work more than you whine.
17. You have to do more than you don't.
18. You have to act more than you react.
19. You have to save more than you squander.
20. You have to care more than you ever have.
21. You have to love more than you ever have. -- from Bits and Pieces

Now if we are really honest, there are specific verses to back up all 21 principles for having a winning day. As brothers who name the name of Christ, let's purpose to show the world that because of what Jesus has done in our hearts, we can have a winning day. -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

Digging Deeper: Proverbs 4; Psalms 66-67; Romans 7

Dig This Quote: When a man walks in the fear of God he knows no fear, even if he were to be surrounded by wicked men. He has the fear of God within him and wears the invincible armor of faith. This makes him strong and able to take on anything, even things which seem difficult or impossible to most people. Such a man is like a giant surrounded by monkeys, or a roaring lion among dogs and foxes. He goes forward trusting in the Lord and the constancy of his will to strike and paralyze his foes. He wields the blazing club of the Word in wisdom. Symeon
