09/30 Compass Guide Comments By Dr. Daniel Daves

30-Sep Isaiah 65-66, Matthew 5-6, Psalms 11-15, Proverbs 30

Proverbs 30:15 (NIV) "The leech has two daughters. 'Give! Give!' they cry.

Today's Proverb reminds us that we MUST always analyze our lives, schedules, relationships and connections. The rule called FILTER and FOCUS has never been more important than now. Why? We live in a world of leeches. From lazy people who want a handout, to those with a low self esteem who want a hand out, to socialist belief systems in government and business that want a handout, on and on. The more swampy the world gets, the more leeches that attempt to attach themselves to you.

It's important to exit the swamp from time to time and do a self examination. The typical way to extract a leech is with a sharp knife. It could be painful. But until you cut it off it will continue to suck the life out of you and benefit from your God given body, work and plan.

FILTER all unprofitable relationships, time bandits and dream thieves who cry to you GIVE, GIVE! They extract against your will and force your donation. Rather, you need to prosper so that you can be free to give to whom and what you will.... your will.

Don't delay. Self inspect and cut off every leech now!
