Adding to Your Life
In scripture, there is a man by the name of Hezekiah. Hezekiah was a good man. He was a leader who loved and honored God and stood for righteousness. He led the people with integrity. In the prime of his career, suddenly, he got very sick. Hezekiah's mentor was the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah came to the palace and said, "Hezekiah, I have a word from the Lord for you. God says, 'Set your house in order for you shall surely die.'" He pronounced a death sentence over Hezekiah. Up until that point, all of Isaiah's prophecies had come true. He had a proven track record.
After delivering the prophecy, Isaiah turned around and began to walk out of the palace. Hezekiah began to pray out loud and ask God to give him more years. He reminded God of all the good things he had done as a ruler, how he had gotten rid of idols and had encouraged the people to worship. He was pleading his case, but Isaiah just kept on walking out. Nothing had changed. Hezekiah said, "God, I deserve more years! I've done my best. I've lived with integrity." But Isaiah just kept on walking.
Finally, Hezekiah decided to try a different approach. Instead of telling God how good he was and listing all of his personal accomplishments, Hezekiah began to give God praise. He began to thank God for who He was and what He had done. Hezekiah made the statement, "God, the grave cannot give You praise!" At that very moment, Isaiah stopped in his tracks. He turned back around. God spoke to Isaiah and said, "I want you to go back and tell King Hezekiah that if he is going to praise Me, I will give him fifteen more years. If he is going to praise Me, it's a different story. I'll add to his life."
What am I saying? There is power in your praise! Your praise can even change God's mind. You don't have to tell God how good you are or how much you deserve something. Just praise Him for who He is and what He has done. Praise Him for His greatness.
Today, I'm asking us to turn up the praise. God said, "If you don't praise Me, the rocks will cry out." Our attitude should be, "No rocks are going to have to cry out for me. I'm going to sing for joy! I'm going to shout unto God. I'm going to have high praises coming out of my mouth." Remember, praise is where the battle is won. When you praise, supernatural doors open. When you praise, chains are broken. Live a life of praise because praise will add to your life!

Work Your Plan
She rises while it is yet night and gets [spiritual] food for her household and assigns her maids their tasks. —Proverbs 31:15
She rises before daylight to spend time with God. She knows that she can never be a good wife or mother and be able to adequately provide for others unless she feeds herself with spiritual food. I am sure she reads God’s Word, prays, worships, and praises and makes sure she is spiritually ready for the day. She prays, “O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You” (Psalm 63:1 NKJV).
She also has a plan for the day. This is so important because I don’t believe we should be vague and thoughtless, merely getting up daily and waiting to see what happens. People who have this mentality rarely ever accomplish anything; they are usually frustrated and unfulfilled. Have a plan and work your plan. Be disciplined with your plan unless God shows you something else He wants you to do.
I encourage you to take charge of your life. Don’t let life manage you; you manage it! Be careful about making excuses—they rob people of their destiny more than any other thing. A great confidence booster is to feel that you are doing with your life what you know you should be doing.
Lord, I want to take charge of my life. I know that starts with my relationship with You. I seek to know You and worship You above all else. Amen.
