Today, I choose to be

• Like Paul, forget those things which are behind, and press forward
• Like David, lift up mine eyes unto the hills from which cometh my help
• Like Abraham, trust implicitly in my God
• Like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my heavenly Father
• Like Jehoshaphat, prepare my heart to seek God
• Like Moses, chose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season
• Like Daniel, commune with God at all things
• Like Caleb and Joshua, refuse to be discouraged because of superior numbers
• Like Gideon, advance even though my friends be few
• Like Aaron and Hur, uphold the hands of the leaders of my congregation (church) with prayer and support
• Like Stephen, express a forgiving spirit toward all who seek my hurt

And, realizing that I cannot hope to achieve these objectives by my own strength, I shall rely upon the power of God, for “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phil. 4:13)
