Added years and confidence

The wisdom of God will not just give me a long life, but a prosperous one, as well!

Today I will receive instruction and recognize good, sound advice when I hear it. It is written: "Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and THE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE WILL BE MANY" (Proverbs 4:10).


...For by me your DAYS WILL BE MULTIPLIED, and YEARS OF LIFE WILL BE ADDED TO YOU" (Proverbs 9:11).

Today I will realize the importance of this day and will invest myself in it, totally. Every day of my life is important and special and significant. I will not take the gift of this day for granted.

Today I will make the decision to be satisfied with my life as it is. "With LONG LIFE I will SATISFY him, and show him my salvation" (Psalm 91:16). There is great confidence that comes from a life of contentment without complacency, so I will walk in that confidence by an act of my will. Life is good! God is good! Today is good!

Today I will make the effort to walk in health and safety. The name of sickness, disease, accident, calamity or any other potentially life-threatening thing must bow to the name of Jesus!

Today I will celebrate all that life has to offer, acknowledging, in all my ways, the God Who adds years to mine.

Today I will LIVE!

You, Oh Lord, are my confidence!!!
