You have to choose to thrive, not just survive. As Adam obeyed the Lord in giving names to all the animals, we must learn to obey Him and be sure we use wisdom in what comes out of our mouths.

Proverbs 18:21, NKJV “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Learn to obey God in the little things:

#1 – Go to church regularly.  Don’t just go to church, but give and receive encouragement.

Hebrews 10:25, NKJV “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as in the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”

#2 – Tithe. Give 10% of your income.  

"It’s not what God wants from you, but what God wants for you."

#3 – Read God’s Word. The Word of God is where we find our strength.

Matthew 4:4, NKJV “But He answered and said, ‘It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

#4 – Invite others to church. What you love, you talk about. You read what you want to learn about. Talk about what you have learned about Jesus.

The Challenge

• Ask God, “Is there a promise to claim, sin to confess, a commandment to obey, or insight to share with others?
