16-August     Seek Self Awareness

Matthew 6:21      For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Pull out your checkbook or bank statement and calendar for the last few months when you were still employed. Take a look at how you spent your money and your time. This is  unmistakable evidence showing what really matters to you. Where did the Kingdom of God figure in? How did you spend your free time when it was in short supply? Did you invest in the Kingdom? What did you do with your paycheck? Could it be that you are being held back even now by wrong priorities?

Now is the time to settle your heart on things of eternal worth. Ask God where He wants you to place your focus. Decide now how you will spend your treasure when you get a new job. Make plans to anchor your heart in Kingdom priorities.

DECLARE THIS:
• I claim Jesus as the Lord of my life and the King over all that concerns me.
• My treasure is in the Kingdom of God.
• By faith I receive a heart that is fixed on the plans and purposes of God alone. My life reflects His rule in it.
