TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“And without faith
it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Do you see God as a rewarder
today? Notice this verse doesn’t say that God rewards those who “deserve” it,
or those who have “earned” it. It doesn’t say that God rewards those who act
perfectly and never make mistakes. No, God’s blessing isn’t based on our
performance; it’s based on our faith — our belief in Him and His goodness. In
fact, one verse says that He longs to be good to those who are looking for
His goodness!
I encourage you today to
spend some time meditating on His goodness and dwelling on His faithfulness.
Look for Him and expect Him to act. Spend some time reading the Psalms and
begin to praise and thank Him for all He is doing. Open your eyes of faith
and see all of the wonderful things He has prepared for you. Let His Word
shape your thoughts, and remember, He is a rewarder! He wants to bless you
today because you earnestly seek after Him!

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
