STAY FOCUSED—MEDITATE AND LET THE WORD OF GOD PERMEATE YOUR BEING
Everything in life has a terminal point, including our very own lives. We live today for what we will achieve tomorrow—eternal life. We have been given the fundamental elements of truth in the word of God. We must feed our spirits on God’s word by daily reading it, meditating on it, and living in obedience to it! “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

MONDAY 31
ALWAYS BE ALERT—DIFFICULT TIMES WILL DEFINITELY SHOW UP
It’s a fact that hard times will come, trouble will arise, and circumstances will get a hold of us from time to time but we must remain focused and quite vigilant. The enemy will never give up on trying to steal, kill and to destroy you, but thanks be unto God who is on our side and who has given us the necessary weapons to fight like soldiers on the battlefields. Remember, your faith will be tested but it will cause you to persevere and produce steadfastness, so rejoice in the midst of trials. James says to: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of
your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

TUESDAY 1
YOUR FAITH WILL SURELY BE TESTED
Trials and tribulations are a test of our faith. They may sometimes get you down but remain strong in the Lord! In the midst of pain and suffering, keep on believing the word of God. We have every promise of God; therefore, we must keep on trusting in Him—No matter how tough things get, don’t give up! Never will He leave you; never will He forsake you, so be patient and do not take matters into your own hands—God is more than able to see you through. “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

WEDNESDAY 2
STAY ALERT AND REMAIN DILIGENT IN PRAYER
Have you ever noticed that when you are getting ready to do the things of God, all kinds of distractions arise? Oh yes! All of a sudden, the phone is ringing, text messages dropping in your inbox, someone ringing the doorbell—I mean myriads of interruptions! You would even start to wonder if you turned off the stove—and the list goes on… Stop the insanity and Rebuke the spirit of distraction! Give your undivided attention to God! The end of all things is near. “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Pray for each other’s faith to remain strong, spiritual discernment, the body of Christ, all our
unsaved family members, as well as the lost world.

ETERNAL LIFE IS A GIFT FROM GOD—KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS!
God has given us so many precious and wonderful gifts. The ultimate gift of all is salvation/eternal life through His son, Jesus. When we accept Him as Lord of our life, eternal life is given unto us. Make no mistake about this: Jesus did not die on the cross for nothing! He came to seek and to save the lost. Now that we are saved, we must invest everything in Him so that we do not have to face eternal punishment/torment, but instead, we will have an eternal life of peace…

BE FIRM, STEADFAST AND UNMOVABLE—SERVING THE LORD IS CERTAINLY NOT IN VAIN
The evil works of the devil are constant—He is working overtime to try and destroy everyone. Remain true to God and focused on what is ahead… “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

THE END IS NEAR— DO NOT BE DISTRACTED!
Jesus warned us that sorrowful days will come in the last day. There will be wars and rumors of wars, and an abundance of wickedness shall take place. Many around the world are being killed and persecuted for the sake of the gospel, but He has told us to “be not troubled.” We must remain focused as these things must come to pass before the end of times. MATTHEW 24 Read: Vs 6-14
