Today's Scripture:But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.Acts 20:24, NKJV.
Today's Word:
God is a faithful God! You may be
praying for things that haven’t happened yet, but just because
things aren't happening on your timetable doesn't mean
they aren't going to happen. Don’t give up on that promise; God has
the final say. Don’t let discouragement or negative thoughts talk you out of
it. Get your fire back! Get your passion back. If God said it, He will do it.
If God spoke it, He will bring it to pass.
This is what the apostle Paul did in
scripture. He said, “None of these things move me.” What were “these things?”
Circumstances that looked impossible. Persecution. People trying to talk him
out of it. Negative, discouraging thoughts. His attitude was, “That doesn't change
my mind. I’m not moved by what I see. I’m moved by what I know, and I know if
God be for me, who dare be against me? I know all of God’s promises are yes and
amen. I know God has the final say!”
Prayer for Today:
Father, I choose to trust you over
trusting my circumstances, knowing that you are faithful. I choose to stand
strong in you. Give me your peace and joy as I wait on you and let me be a
testimony of your grace in Jesus’ name. Amen.
