TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
I have fought the good fight, I have
finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7, NIV.
2 Timothy 4:7, NIV.
TODAY'S WORD:
So often when people make mistakes,
they get down on themselves and think, “If only…” “I should have…” “What if…?”
It’s easy to feel like you’ve missed the best plan for your life. That’s when
people get discouraged and stop pursuing their God-given dreams. But understand
today, just because you’ve made a mistake or failed in some way doesn’t cancel
God’s plan. God never disqualifies you. He never says, “Go sit on the
sidelines. You’ve blown it too many times. You’ve got too many weaknesses.” No,
God always gives you another chance!
Some of the great people in the
Bible made very poor choices. The apostle Paul started off as a murderer, yet
his destiny was bigger than his mistakes. He ended up becoming a great leader
and writing over half of the New Testament.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank
You for Your grace and mercy. I trust that my days are ordered by You. I ask
that You strengthen and empower me to fulfill Your call on my life. I love You
and bless You today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
