TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
God doesn’t want you to just
barely get by in life. He wants you to experience His abundance. He wants you
to constantly be increasing. He wants you to be happy in your marriage. He
wants you to enjoy your work. He wants you to be continually rising to new
heights. If you’re in sales, God wants you to lead that company. If you’re an
athlete, God wants you to set new records. If you’re a mom, God wants you to
be the best mom that you can possibly be.
We serve a big God with big
plans for your future. Maybe some things haven’t worked out the way you
thought they should because those plans were too small. Maybe it’s time to
stretch yourself further and get a bigger vision for your life. If you’re not
sure how to do that, start by asking God to increase your thinking. Ask Him
to increase your capacity to receive from Him. Ask Him to enlarge your tent
stakes. Continue to meditate on His Word and spend time in His presence, then
watch what He will do as you stretch and grow in Him.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You

I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be in
Jesus’ name. Amen.

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...
