Who is your standard? When you make God your standard consistently, one day you will become a standard to the world. Nuclear submarines consist of some of the most amazing technology on the planet. These incredible military vessels can stay underwater for ninety days, but every ninety days the submarine must resurface to maintain proper alignment with the North Star. While underwater, the submarine’s navigational system is affected by the earth’s magnetic forces. Because the submarines carry missiles of mass destruction, they must pay close attention to keeping the navigational equipment aligned to the true reference point of the North Star There is a lesson to learn here. We cannot perform at our highest level or complete our mission without maintaining proper alignment with our God. The day you become self sufficient marks the beginning of your decline. Don’t be carried away by the fact that you are winning every race. Take out time to withdraw and refuel. Your life does not consist of the abundance of treasures you have acquired but rather how you can remain relevant in God’s agenda. Your heart is the navigational equipment that keeps you on track with God. Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Your name may ring from shore to shore on earth but you should be concerned whether it is known in heaven because that is our ultimate destination. Whatever we do, let’s do it with heaven in view. Think about it! God bless you big

He then asked, “Who still wants it…?” Still the hands were up in the air. “Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air. … “My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
