SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
Take the time to evaluate your life to see where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to be. Your evaluations and decisions will take on extraordinary meaning and purpose for the days ahead. They will either make you or break you. Be deliberate in the choices you make; they will have greater than normal significance. Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.

Day Five of Week 4: Hod of Netzach
26th Day of the Omer
Yielding - which is a result of humility - is an essential element of enduring. Standing fast can sometimes be a formula for destruction. The oak, lacking the ability to bend in the hurricane, is uprooted. The reed, which yields to the wind, survives without a problem. Do I know when to yield, out of strength not fear? Why am I often afraid to yield?
Endurance is fueled by inner strength. Hod of netzach is the humble recognition and acknowledgement that the capacity to endure and prevail comes from the soul that G‑d gave each person. This humility does not compromise the drive of endurance; on the contrary, it intensifies it, because human endurance can go only so far and endure only so much, whereas endurance that comes from the Divine soul is limitless.
Do I attribute my success solely to my own strength and determination? Am I convinced that I am all powerful due to my level of endurance? Where do I get the strength at times when everything seems so bleak?
Exercise for the day: When you awake, acknowledge G‑d for giving you a soul with the extraordinary power and versatility to endure despite trying challenges. This will allow you to draw energy and strength for the entire day.

The Bible warns about deception over 50 times, yet many believers often fall for various concepts that conflict with the Bible. Genesis 3:13, :Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.” When we are deceived we become indebted to the one who deceives us.
