Daily Bible Verse

New Feature: The Daily Positive

In keeping with the quick and simple style of posts here at DALANEL, I’m introducing a quick hit to start the day. The Daily Positive is a quick positive boost for you.

The initial run is a Bible Verse, Quote, and Good News article.

Now, you might be thinking “What about Thursday Thoughts (quotes) and Fearless Friday (good news)?” The answer to that is simple. The quotes for Thursday Thoughts are more to get you to think whereas The Daily Positive has quotes that are meant to inspire and motivate. As for the Good News, I’ll be sharing positive news that are not hero themed as Fearless Friday takes care of that.

The Good News is the cornerstone of this feature. It’s possible that I’ll add another element besides quotes and scripture, but, ultimately, this is not supposed to take more than 10 minutes to get through. None of the weekly features are meant to take more than 10 minutes to get through.

Daily Good News and Daily Word are sort of resurrected at the same time with this post. Guess what? I plan to make this a weekend post as well! Saturday and Sunday are just as daily as any other day.

Daily Word: Max L. Forman; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level. Max L. Forman

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Daily Word: Michael Jordan; Proverbs 29:23

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. Michael Jordan

A man’s pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. Proverbs 29:23

Daily Word: Elisabeth Kubler-Ross; Romans 8:1-2

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2

Daily Word: Nelson Henderson; Luke 10:27

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. Nelson Henderson

He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” Luke 10:27

Daily Word: Fred Dehner; Deuteronomy 8:1-3

The best helping hand that you will ever receive is the one at the end of your own arm. Fred Dehner

Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers. Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:1-3
