Summary
Keep your day full of faith， praise， and victory with #1 New York Times bestselling author and Lakewood Church pastor Joel Osteen。
Some people live in a constant state of worry， upset， and negativity because they let everything in。 They listen to the news all day， go to lunch with judgmental people， or get cut off in traffic， leaving the rest of their day pretty sour。 They’re not ruling their day。
No one can keep all bad things from happening， but you can stop them from getting down in your spirit。 The less time you spend in bad situations or with small-minded people， the better off you’re going to be。 Don’t sit inactive with people who don’t believe in you， people who don’t come into agreement with your dreams。 You control what you allow into your day， your mind。 God has given you the authority to rule over your attitude and your response。 Let God control what you can’t。 If you’ll do your part， then He will do His—making things happen that you couldn’t even imagine。
With Rule the Day， you’ll be able to go out each day expecting the best， knowing everything may not be perfect。 There may be delays， interruptions， difficult people， but you’ll learn to not let these things ruin your day。 Know that God is directing your steps and has given you the power to remain calm in times of adversity。 Every day can be a good day， if you rule your atmosphere。

I like this book a lot and plan on continuing to referencing it in my daily life。 I enjoyed the story about the father， son， and donkey。 I also enjoyed the story about the palm trees and how they are stronger after weathering the storm， which is symbolic to the challenges and pressures that we go through。

Pastor Joel Osteen's latest book encourages Christians to start their day off by deciding to control their mindset when it comes to letting others， and everyday situations affect how they go through the day。 The writing covers topics such as daily filling up with God's direction and not being on "autopilot，" to watch what people say and how they say it （speaking good things about not just others， but themselves）， and the concept that when a person is struggling with issues， taking their mind off Pastor Joel Osteen's latest book encourages Christians to start their day off by deciding to control their mindset when it comes to letting others， and everyday situations affect how they go through the day。 The writing covers topics such as daily filling up with God's direction and not being on "autopilot，" to watch what people say and how they say it （speaking good things about not just others， but themselves）， and the concept that when a person is struggling with issues， taking their mind off of themselves and go out to help others will end up helping them in the end。 A few other topics involve avoiding being a people pleaser and digging into the power of bouncing back from bad situations。 A short read that those who need a boost of positivity will enjoy helping get their morning started or to reflect at the end of the day。For an in-depth review， visit my blog at :https://lancewrites。wordpress。com/202。。。 。。。more

Osteen gives readers another good book full of encouragement。 His first topic is our thoughts。 “You don't have control over what other people do， but you do have control over your thoughts， your attitudes， and how you respond。” （92/1368） That means we need to guard our thoughts。 We are to dwell on the positive， the hopeful， not the negative。I really like that Osteen emphasizes we must stay in contact with God。 We are to get our direction from Him every morning。 We need to be open to God's plan a Osteen gives readers another good book full of encouragement。 His first topic is our thoughts。 “You don't have control over what other people do， but you do have control over your thoughts， your attitudes， and how you respond。” （92/1368） That means we need to guard our thoughts。 We are to dwell on the positive， the hopeful， not the negative。I really like that Osteen emphasizes we must stay in contact with God。 We are to get our direction from Him every morning。 We need to be open to God's plan and to changes He directs。 We might wonder why God would do things in a new way。 So we will not act out of routine or habit。 “God changes the method on purpose so we have to come to Him for daily bread。” （387/1368） Also， God sees things we do not。 “Everything is not what it seems。” （489/1368） He sees beyond the surface and will direct us accordingly。Osteen goes on to teach about the tongue and how we speak steers our life。 He encourages us to help others solve their problems， essential to solving our own。 He wonders what we miss when we focus on ourselves。 We cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from our purpose。 Osteen reveals the disaster of valuing what others think more than what God has told us to do。 And we are to be like the palm tree， bouncing back after a storm。I like how Osteen uses stories from the Bible to illustrate his teaching。 He also has plenty of examples from his own life and the lives of others。 His writing is clear， easy to understand， and so very encouraging。 This is a good book for any Christian needing positive encouragement to follow through the dream God has given。Food for thought: “Go be a blessing。” （904/1368）I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more

In his latest book， "Rule Your Day，" Pastor Joel consistently provides direction for how to talk to God， how to sit still and listen， and how to surrender our will to the will of the Holy Spirit。 I especially like the discussion in chapter two， "Daily Direction"。Discipline！ Joel reminded me to greet the Holy Spirit， giving thanks to the Lord for a new day， and asking for what my assignment is for the day。 I like the idea of checking in with God for all of my decisions throughout the day。 Takes t In his latest book， "Rule Your Day，" Pastor Joel consistently provides direction for how to talk to God， how to sit still and listen， and how to surrender our will to the will of the Holy Spirit。 I especially like the discussion in chapter two， "Daily Direction"。Discipline！ Joel reminded me to greet the Holy Spirit， giving thanks to the Lord for a new day， and asking for what my assignment is for the day。 I like the idea of checking in with God for all of my decisions throughout the day。 Takes the pressure off me。 Thy will be done！Sometimes， I get an inkling to check the drive time before I leave for a particular destination。 I already know how to get there， so I wouldn't need to check to see how long it will take。 Usually， I just assume everything is normal and I head out。 But sometimes， when I acknowledge the "inkling"， that little nudge to look at something more carefully， I find out that I need to choose an alternate route or leave earlier in order to get there on time。That's seems like a small thing。 But， if I don't listen， small irritations pile up and suddenly， my day is "ruined" and my mood is foul。 God can't work through me when my emotions are sour and my mind is ruminating on the chaos and disorder in my life。It's my choice how I want to learn the lessons， life throws at me。 Smooth or rough。 Gentle or frustrating。 Confused or with clear vision。In "Rule Your Day，" Pastor Joel reminds me that I am responsible for following God's guidance。 My actions impact other people。 As a Christian， the mission is to show others the way to reach the Kingdom of God。Even if I don't see how my choice makes a difference one way or the other， Holy Spirit has complete knowledge of how my actions impact other people's actions and journey。I'm glad I read， "Rule Your Day。" I'm even more glad that I've chosen to practice what he's preaching。 The Holy Spirit exists to help us bring order to the chaos of our daily lives。Read this book。 Apply the lessons on a daily basis。 Help win more souls to the Kingdom。 Enjoy God's favor。Rule Your Day: 6 Keys to Maximizing Your Success and Accelerating Your Dreams 。。。more

Rule Your Day is the latest book from Joel Osteen。 I've been a fan of Pastor Joel's since I saw his awesome "Supercharged" sermon in May 2021 on TV。 I read his book "Peaceful on Purpose" and I found all the answers that I needed to increase my faith， trust and belief。 He has the gift of encouragement and easily explains the spiritual and practical ways to serve God and receive the abundance that God wants to bring to every area of our life- finances， health， relationships， career etc。 My favorit Rule Your Day is the latest book from Joel Osteen。 I've been a fan of Pastor Joel's since I saw his awesome "Supercharged" sermon in May 2021 on TV。 I read his book "Peaceful on Purpose" and I found all the answers that I needed to increase my faith， trust and belief。 He has the gift of encouragement and easily explains the spiritual and practical ways to serve God and receive the abundance that God wants to bring to every area of our life- finances， health， relationships， career etc。 My favorite chapter in this book is Chapter 1-Rule Your Day。 Life tries to push us down but we have the ability to control our atmosphere。 We can choose to surround ourselves with positive， faith-filled people， music， books and/or entertainment。 As a person who used to struggle with negativity， I control my environment and keep moving forward in positivity。 Negativity cannot exist in a positive environment。 I thank God every day for Pastor Joel's encouraging words and advice that continue to change my life for the better。 I highly recommend Rule Your Day for anyone who wants to rise up and move toward your God given destiny。 God's promises and blessings are waiting for you。 。。。more
