This story reminds us that toxic relationships often masquerade as love but are rooted in control, deceit, and selfishness.
Tamar’s pain shows the cost of misplaced trust, while Amnon’s downfall shows the consequences of unchecked toxic desire.

To set the pace is to lead from the front—to establish a standard that others can follow.
The quality of the pace we set at the beginning of the year largely determines the excellence of our outcomes.
Scripture reminds us:
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof…” — Ecclesiastes 7:8
Beginnings matter. Foundations define futures.
“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” — Romans 8:6
Every new beginning must be rooted in spiritual alignment.
Spirituality is not optional—it is foundational to lasting excellence.
God must be given His rightful place: the first place.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God…” — Matthew 6:33
Scripture must become the daily compass for decisions, direction, and discernment.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” — Psalm 119:105
Do not starve your spirit man.
Heaven’s operations are often routed through the spirit.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit…” — Romans 8:16
Angels respond to spiritual alignment.
“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” — Hebrews 1:14
Spiritual mindedness births life, peace, clarity, and momentum.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…” — Ephesians 2:10
You are not randomly positioned—you are strategically planted.
“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion…” — Joel 2:1–8
You are a signal, a voice, and a forerunner in your space.
You are not merely conveyors of knowledge;
you are architects of the future.
Therefore:
Be intentional about the seeds you sow
Be deliberate about the values you model
Be conscious of the legacy you are shaping
“A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children.” — Proverbs 13:22
Live in such a way that your example transcends time and echoes into eternity.
Excellence thrives wherever learning never stops.
“The wise also will hear, and increase learning…” — Proverbs 1:5
Be open to new methods, new systems, and better approaches.
There is always a more excellent way.
“And now abideth faith, hope, charity… but the greatest of these is charity.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13
Let innovation always be guided by:
Integrity
Quality
Accountability
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2
Innovation without values destroys, but innovation with integrity builds.
“See then that ye walk circumspectly… redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” — Ephesians 5:15–16
You can be present and still not be productive.
You can clock in and still not lock anything in.
Do not be a time spender—be a time investor.
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
Time is what we want most, yet waste most.
Create a structured calendar that brings:
Balance to assignments
Focus to priorities
Discipline to execution
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost?” — Luke 14:28
Remember:
“Time and chance happeneth to them all.” — Ecclesiastes 9:11
Preparation determines who benefits from opportunity.
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.” — 2 Corinthians 13:5
Excellence demands reflection, evaluation, and adjustment.
Ask regularly:
What is working?
What needs alignment?
What must change?
Growth is sustained where self-assessment is intentional.
Setting the pace is not about speed—it is about direction, discipline, and depth.
When spirituality is strong, placement is understood, innovation is embraced, time is redeemed, and self-examination is practiced, excellence becomes inevitable.
You are not just starting a year—you are setting a standard.
