The faith-work world is high on books to read. But this is not another one to put on your “to read” shelf. Rather, it is a daily manifesto of sorts, full of one-day-at-a-time quick thoughts that will enliven your leadership, equip your mind, embolden you to take a stand, and encourage you in your complex, often tiring world of leading your firm. You will love diving into the practical decrees and learning how to activate them on mission-critical arenas of sales, profit, clients, employees, and, yes, even your enemies.

I have known Os for a number of years, seeing his ministry and integrity in action close-up. I am so happy he took the time to write 31 Decrees of Blessing for Your Work Life. Every day is better when it begins with devotion. Os brings us a practical and inspirational brand of devotion, born of years in the workforce prior to full-time ministry. It’s the kind of devotion where we live, where we struggle, where we hurt, and yet are urged on, pressing in and pressing higher. We are often not delivered from our troubles; Os helps us get closer to Jesus, who, alone, delivers us through our troubles.
—Terry Botwick, founder & president, Papatime

I first met Os Hillman at a meeting in , Georgia, where he was the keynote speaker. I was at his book table buying every book he had ever written and, as Os tells the story, he “came over to see if I was friend or foe.” I had never met him, but based on the profound wisdom from God’s Word that I was seeing just skimming his marketplace books at that table, I was certainly hoping to be his friend. As the years have gone by, I have watched Os put that wisdom into practice in so many areas of his life. There are no walls or lines drawn between his workplace, worship, and personal life; God’s Word and will flow freely through all of them with power and joy. I am grateful to be a friend and fan of Os. His daily TGIF devotions and marketplace books have challenged and changed the way we lead. 31 Decrees of Blessing for Your Work Life will change the way you think and the way you live.

Our lives are filled with millions of thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about the things you are thinking? Do you ask yourself, Who told you that? or Where did you hear that? Have you ever stopped to think about all the things you heard in one day? Do you ever pause to listen to what you are saying and then ask yourself, Is what I am saying truth? Do you ever stop and ask the following questions: Are the words coming out of my mouth adding or taking away life? Are they helpful or hurtful? Do they declare God’s truth, or are they coming from an opinion, preference, or emotion that I am feeling? 

If faith comes by hearing, what are you hearing, and how is it shaping what you believe? Realize that our behavior follows our beliefs; it weakens or strengthens our lives based on how it aligns with what God says. Who are you listening to? Who are you believing and repeating? Are you ever at a loss for words—you don’t know what to think or say? Our lives must be built on the solid rock of God’s Word, will, and ways, not the shifting, often selfish opinions of the world around us.

Os’ book is a practical way to put God’s Word in front of ourselves every morning so that it fills our thoughts and shapes our day. Os has studied the Scriptures to bring God’s wisdom and promises to our attention. This is not a random “name it, claim it” practice where you imagine what you want and attempt to claim it into reality. This is reality according to God, found in specific Scriptures that he has declared over his creation and his children, for his glory and purpose. Our assignment is to declare these in agreement with God in to walk in God’s authority and under God’s authority. These declarations are God-authored, Spirit-inspired prayers of faith.
