TODAY'S
SCRIPTURE:
For though the righteous
fall seven times, they rise again...
Proverbs 24:16, NIV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Life is full of things that
try to push us down. We all face disappointments and setbacks. Maybe you
received some bad news about your health, or perhaps a relationship didn’t work
out. That was a setback. It’s easy to get discouraged or lose your enthusiasm
or even be tempted to just settle where you are. But if we’re going to see
God’s best, we have to have a “bounce back” mentality. That means when you get
knocked down, you don’t stay down. You get back up again. You have to know that
every time adversity comes against you, it’s a setup for a comeback!
Remember, as a believer in
Jesus, the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of
you. There is no challenge too difficult, no obstacle too high, no sickness, no
disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep you from your God-given
destiny. If you stay in faith, then God will turn what was meant to be a
stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you’ll move forward in strength,
full of faith and victory!
PRAYER FOR
TODAY:
Father, thank You for
setting me up for success in everything I do. I choose to trust and rely on You
knowing that Your plans are for my good. I know my best days are ahead of me
and look forward to the blessings You have in store for me in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
