TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Therefore I remind you to stir up
the gift of God which is in you…
2 Timothy 1:6, NKJV.
2 Timothy 1:6, NKJV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Do you need some freshness in your
life today? It’s probably time to stir up what God has placed on the inside of
you. It’s time to stir up those gifts, stir up those dreams, stir up those
talents inside. Start stretching yourself. This doesn't just
mean making New Year’s resolutions; this means tapping into the destiny God has
placed in your heart.
Scripture tells us that without
vision, people perish. If you don’t have a dream, you’re not really living the
way God intends; you’re merely existing. Maybe at one time you had a dream, but
you went through some disappointments or setbacks. Things didn't turn
out the way you planned. But here’s a key: when one dream dies, dream
another dream. Just because it didn't work out the way you had it
planned doesn't mean that God doesn't have another plan.
You cannot allow one disappointment or even a series of disappointments to
convince you that your dream is over. It’s time to dig your heels in and hold
on to the promises in your heart. As you stir up those God-given dreams and
desires, He’ll pour out His favor and blessings and fulfill every desire in
your heart!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, I come humbly to You. I give
You my past, my disappointments, my brokenness. I choose forgiveness and peace.
Fill me with Your hope and expectation as You fulfill the dreams and desires
that You have placed within me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
