THE WORD FOR TODAY Don’t make a mess of your life trying to impress people for whatever reasons. As you leave your house to work daily, remember that you have a family to feed, not an audience to impress. So, go to work, make some money, and return home to use it to make more money. Don't go and acquire money and then buy some fancy new things to impress your audience. Remember, if you live to impress an audience, poverty will rise to repress your progress. You don't just want your presence to be noticed. It is much more critical for your absence to be felt. This year, do not try to impress anybody. Impress yourself. Keep the promises you make to yourself. Fight for your life. Shalom!
