I was in my head a lot today with some of the big challenges I am facing. I didn’t have work in the morning. I had a few other things going on but then I realized I hadn’t done my usual scripture study and that could have added to the struggle of the day. I was listening to scripture on the way to work this afternoon as I usually do in my way, but being immersed in the word of God at the beginning of the day makes a huge difference.

Every Sunday before our service I meet with my pastor for 1 hour of training and instruction in the word This morning we spoke about understanding the fast I just did and why the fast was needed We are very vulnerable with each other and it's most important to do it with someone you trust in a very high regard He asked me a question that stated "Clint, is everything you're doing in business and and ministry bringing people closer in their relationship to Jesus?" For me, I question myself at times because what is being built to position Jesus at the front is very hard to do without bringing you in front to build a company, brand, etc. This is something I'm going to pray on this week and moving forward and I ask you to pray as well when it comes to your life, your purpose, and what you are building. Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" How are you seeking the kingdom in what you are doing in your current season of life?

I just found this quote that I wrote a long time ago in an old notebook tonight. I don't remember when I wrote this, but I kinda like it and I needed to hear it as I have lived in fear much more than faith lately. "Don't let fear make your decisions for you. You will miss many golden opportunities to progress in your life. The Lord provides a way for you to accomplish anything according to His will. Have faith. Take what is placed in your path and run with it."

So today, I had the thought of what would God have me do. I usually haven't thought this. But since it was in my mind today, I thought about what would God have me do as I coach my tennis students. It was just a different way for me to think in that moment. Then I had a conversation with my buddy after our classes and we both felt the power of God being needed in our lives more than ever right now.

Romans 2:19 NLT states ““You are convinced that you are a guide for the blind and a light for people who are lost in darkness.”. When I wake up in the morning, I have goals set already in order to accomplish my day and Win Every Day and Second I am provided through the grace of God. 1. Shine a Light on someone who is lost and in the darkness. Reason: Within 24 hours of a day we have to at least interact with 10 different people or even more, I am a strong believer I was called to the job and industry I am in to grow His kingdom to a limitless level. God is limitless and we are only on earth on a limited time so why would I not try to at least bring someone to a position on where they can shine a light on others as I attempted to on them. 2. Share an Experience or Testimony on how God is Working in my life at this very moment. Reason: Motivate and Inspire another individual to encourage them to Walk with the Lord and perform at the highest level they can. 3. Thank someone at least once. Reason: I want my gratefulness and thankfulness towards another person to inspire them on the blessings they have provided to myself through God.
