TODAY’S SCRIPTURE  | 
| 
“Remember not the
  former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new
  thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the
  wilderness and rivers in the desert.” | 
| 
(Isaiah 43:18–19,
  ESV) |

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria  | 
| 
Oftentimes, people get stuck
  in life because they’ve been hurt or betrayed, and they end up settling where
  they are. They allow the disappointment to keep them from the divine
  appointment. Don’t let that be you! Don’t let what somebody did or didn’t do
  for you be an excuse to live sour. Don’t let a bad break, a divorce, a
  betrayal or a bad childhood cause you to settle where you are. Move forward
  and God will pay you back. Move forward and God will vindicate you. Move
  forward and you’ll come into a new beginning.  
Nothing that has happened to
  you is a surprise to God. The loss of that loved one didn’t catch God off
  guard. The business that didn’t make it, the relationship that didn’t work
  out did not stop God’s plan for your life. Now, the real question is: are you
  going to get stuck, fall into self-pity, become bitter, let the past poison
  your future? Or, are you going to shake it off and move forward knowing that
  your best days are still up ahead?  |

A PRAYER FOR TODAY  | 
| 
Father, thank You
  for being my vindicator. Thank You for making the wrong things right in my
  life. I know that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf, and I will
  move forward in the blessing You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
