Imagine getting a word from Jesus--perhaps a word of encouragement or a word of challenge--every day for a year. Author William Epps expounds upon those words in What Did Jesus Say? A Daily Devotional Journal. Even those who don't journal regularly will be drawn back to these pages again and again. Each daily entry begins with a quote from Jesus, taken directly from Scripture. These quotes remind us of the power and truth Christ spoke so clearly through his words. Epps then provides rich commentary on each passage. A final question enables readers to interact with the saying for the day. These daily reflections and questions will make you think and reflect upon your life journey. They prompt the reader to consider ways in which they can grow toward spiritual maturity. Readers are encouraged to record their thoughts in this daily journal as part of a process to apply Jesus' words to their lives 365 days a year. The above left is a sample from this empowering resource. Do not confuse meekness with weakness, for they are definitely not the same. Being meek means that you manage your attitude, behavior, and pattern of thought regardless of the situations in life in which you find yourself. When you take charge of managing yourself you will automatically receive as a gift what others seek. Strange as it may seem, what we most pursue is a byproduct that accrues to us because of something else we do. How can you better manage your attitude, behavior, and thought pattern to receive the result you most desire?
