49 days down, 316 to go.

Today’s scriptures for my Read the Bible in a Year plan are Leviticus 6:1 – 7:27; Mark 3:7-30; Psalms 37:1-11; Proverbs 10:3-4.

My thoughts from today’s reading:

1. FORGET OPRAH’S SECRET. HERE’S THE REAL SECRET – How to get what you want
2. THE FIRE MUST NEVER GO OUT
3. THEY MAY CALL YOU CRAZY
4. GRIND AND SHINE – Don’t be lazy. There's no replacement for hard work.

1. FORGET OPRAH’S SECRET. HERE’S THE REAL SECRET – How to get what you want
Psalm 37:3-4
 3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
      Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
 4 Take delight in the Lord,
      and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Simple and plain.  If you want something, this is how to get it. You must exchange your desires for God’s, and He will gladly give them to you.

No, this doesn’t mean that if you want a particular material possession you have to give up that desire, or that you have to sacrifice your own dreams and passions.

It just means that you must place a desire to please God above all other desires.
