TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13, NKJV.
TODAY'S WORD:
In scripture, Paul had been through a lot of trials. He
had been shipwrecked, spent the night on an open sea, and gone days without
food. He was falsely accused, beaten with rods, and thrown into prison. If
anyone had a right, at least in the natural, to be negative, bitter or
complain, it would have been Paul. But his attitude was, “I can handle it. I am
ready for and equal to it. Why? Because Almighty God, the Creator of the
universe has infused me with strength. He has equipped me, empowered me,
anointed me, crowned me with favor, put royal blood in my veins, and called me
to reign in life as a king.”
In difficult times, like Paul, you've got to talk to
yourself the right way. If you don’t talk to yourself, your thoughts will talk
to you. Don’t let the negative, self-defeating thoughts play in your mind.
Instead, declare that you are more than a conqueror, and you will boldly
embrace the life of victory God has in store for you!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for equipping and empowering me for
victory in this life. Instead of letting my thoughts drag me down; I’ll let your
word build me up! I will declare your truth that sets me free all the days of
my life in Jesus’ name! Amen.
