Bible Reading: Mark chapters 8 through 11
My Scripture for today: Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not
receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it” (Mark 10:15).
What does it mean? If the kingdom of God refers to God’s way of doing things,
and it must be received and understood as a little child, we run the risk of missing out
on much of what the Lord has for us by being too “grown-up.”
Grown-ups say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Children say, “I believe it, so I know
I’m going to see it!” Grown-ups say, “Don’t get your hopes up.” Children say, “Too late.
My hopes are way up!” Bible-based faith is similarly childlike, not childish.
Faith is the currency, the “coin of the realm,” of the kingdom of God. I call faith
believing and acting with the calm assurance that the Word of God is true—no matter
what the circumstances may say. Circumstances are only temporary; God’s Word is
eternal.
Is there a situation you’re facing that seems impossible? How would a Biblebelieving
child view that situation? Today you read where Jesus told His disciples, “With
men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”16
Receive God’s way of doing things like a child today. Don’t hoard your faith—
spend it! Pour your faith into something huge, gigantic, and stupendous (just like a child
would!). God turns the impossible into the possible, and the possible into reality!
Today I proclaim (say aloud): Lord, I know with You all things are possible. I
stretch my faith out like a child today and thank You in advance for turning impossible
situations around. Thank You for making a way where there seemed to be no way. I am
excited about what You are doing in my life and the lives of my loved ones. (Praise the
Lord for who He is and for restoring your childlike faith.)
What is the Lord saying to me in this scripture?
I start the day with a clean slate
I start the day with a clean heart
Prayer: I pray for the leaders of our nation and those in authority. I pray for the
peace of Jerusalem and for the safety and effectiveness of our military at home and
overseas. I now lift up the needs of my family and friends
I offer up my personal prayers today. Lord, I pray for Your help and guidance in
these areas
Jesus said, “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive
them, and you will have them.” I believe I receive the answer to my prayers now. Thank
You, Father!

Three Things I commit to do today:
I commit my day to the Lord. Lord, I receive the kingdom of God as a little child
and I enter it by faith. Thank You for showing me how to operate as an ambassador of
this kingdom, as an ambassador of Christ. Please give me the words to say to
encourage others to trust You like a child and walk before You like men and women of
God.

Day 8 (Monday )~ Christian Fitness Program
Bible Reading: Mark chapters 4 through 7
My Scripture for today: Jesus said, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go
in peace and be healed of your affliction” (Mark 5:34).
What does it mean? Here we meet a woman who had experienced pain and
misery for years. She was weakened physically from her condition and had suffered
from the treatments of the physicians as well. For 12 long years her illness made her
“unclean” under Jewish law, so she was ostracized from society. She had also spent all
her money trying to regain her health.
How did she receive her healing? 1. She heard about Jesus and believed. 2. She
spoke her faith aloud to herself: “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” 3.
She took action. She touched His clothes in faith believing she would get what she
needed from Him. 4. She received her healing from Jesus by faith.
Her faith obviously drew on the power of the Lord. “And Jesus, immediately
knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and
said, “Who touched Me?’” Many people touched Jesus that day, but one touched Him in
faith. That woman’s faith was the bridge that brought the power to heal from Jesus to
her. It wasn’t her need that drew the power, but her faith.
You can follow those same four steps today. 1. Find a promise in the Word of
God to fit your situation. 2. Speak God’s promise aloud and claim it for yourself. 3. Take
action. Push past the obstacles standing between you and Jesus, between you and
your healing, between you and the answer to your prayer. 4. Receive it. Believe right
now that you are receiving the answer to your prayer. Then thank the Lord with your
whole heart. There’s power in praising Him!
Today I proclaim (say aloud): Lord, I hear your Word and believe it. I speak it out
of my mouth in faith. I take action on Your Word and push past all obstacles standing in
my way. I receive Your wonderful promises by faith and walk in victory! (Praise the Lord
for who He is and for making His power available to you today.)

Follow food writer Tilly Flint as she discovers her roots, her sense of adventure and the secret to happiness in this timeless, inventive tale for fans of Eva Rice and Elizabeth Noble. Do the answers to Tilly Flint's future lie in her past? In a nightclub full of the rich and famous, a glamorous model leaps from a window and escapes into the night. Food writer Tilly Flint - on a rare date with boyfriend Jake - is sole witness to her flight. Little does she know the chain of events set to unfold! The following week, Tilly and Jake have the last of many arguments, leaving Tilly alone in the wild Pennines landscape where she's on assignment. Terrified yet strangely exhilarated, she investigates the area - and finds more than a few surprises. Intrigued to learn that, as an only child, she has family in the area, Tilly starts to dig deeper, discovering her great grandmother's past and the eerie parallels with her own life. As she explores the treacherous moors, she stumbles across mysterious pieces of cherry-red ribbon. What do they signify? And who is the strangely familiar face in the local pub? Then a chance encounter with celebrity Clayton Silver leads Tilly into a high-octane world that spells danger. Can the ribbons from the past be a lifeline in the present?
Day 7 (Sunday) ~ Christian Fitness Program
Bible Reading: Matthew chapter 27 through Mark chapter 3
My Scripture for today: “A leper came…saying to Him, ‘If You are willing, You can
make me clean.’ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and
touched him, and said to him, ‘I am willing; be cleansed’” (Mark 1:40, 41).
What does it mean? We are told in Hebrews 13:8 that “Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today and forever.” If He was willing to act on the Word of God 2,000 years
ago, He is still willing today. Jesus specialized in doing the impossible—because with
God nothing is impossible! He is still willing to save, heal and deliver all who ask in faith.
If you wonder whether your faith is strong enough, realize God has already given
you the faith that you need. The faith you have can be strengthened by reading,
speaking and hearing the Word of God. Then take action on the Word of God that you
know and your faith “muscles” will grow!
Jesus is moved with compassion toward us and through us to others. Notice He
stretched out His hand to touch the leper before He said anything. We are His hands
here on earth. Even if we don’t know what to say to someone who’s hurting, we can
stretch out our hand to them and the Lord will give us the words to say.
It is His desire to touch you with His love, grace, and power right now. Whatever
you have been asking the Lord about or standing in faith believing, realize His hand is
stretched out to touch you right now. He is speaking to you today, “I am willing. Be
cleansed.”
Today I proclaim (say aloud): I praise the Lord that He is willing and able to
perform His Word in my life. I humble myself under the mighty outstretched hand of
God, that He may exalt me in due time, casting all my care upon Him, for He cares for
me.”15 (Praise the Lord for who He is and for bringing to pass His promises in your life.)

Day 6 (Saturday) ~ Christian Fitness Program
Bible Reading: Matthew chapters 24 through 26
My Scripture for today: Jesus said, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into
temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41).
What does it mean? The more time we spend in the things of God, the stronger
and more sensitive our spirit becomes, enabling us to overcome the temptations of the
flesh. The word for “watch” in the Greek is gregoreuo, meaning to revive and refrain
from sleep. The implication here is more than merely physical, however. We are to
watch and be awake mentally and spiritually as well.
Be mindful of the thoughts you are entertaining. Are they of God, the flesh or the
devil? If they are not of God, cast them down (kick them out!) and bring “into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ” (the Word of God).
Many are lulled to sleep and unaware of the snares of the enemy until after
they’ve been caught. Peter tells us to “be sober (self-controlled) and vigilant (watchful);
because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
Enjoying frequent fellowship with God and taking action on what you know to do
will strengthen your spirit and cultivate the fruits of faithfulness, patient endurance, and
self-control.
Today I proclaim : With Paul I can say that I am not ignorant of the
devil’s devices. I spend time in prayer and fellowship with the Lord every day. Under
the leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ, my spirit is in control over my flesh. When
tempted, I will not enter in, but immediately go to Jesus, the Word and prayer. I am an
overcomer and am being “strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man” (in my spirit).
(Praise the Lord for who He is and for strengthening your spirit.)

Turbulent Skies (2010)
When a new airplane that's equipped with a new computer that can fly the plane on its own, is about to have its first flight. But the son of the owner decides to upload more software, he doesn't bother to check if there are any viruses with it. And he also invites some potential investors to try it. So the plane appears to be working well but suddenly it veers off course and it can't be shut down. When the military learns of this and fears what if something happens if it's over a populated area; decides to shoot it down along with everyone on board. The man who built the computer whose wife is among the passengers thinks if he can get on board he might be able to shut it down and regain control of the plane. So the military using a new plane gets him on board. But what he didn't know is that both pilots are incapacitated so there's no one who can fly the plane
