…….DWELL ON WHAT OUR GOD ‘IS’

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

INSTEAD OF DWELLING ON WHAT ‘YOU’RE’ NOT, DWELL ON WHAT OUR GOD ‘IS’

Many misconceptions about God ABOUND in the world today. Some believe He is ANGRY with them, while others think He is tallying their WRONGS. However, this is NOT the message of Scripture. Scripture reveals that God is GRACIOUS, PATIENT, and LOVING; He is FORGIVING and does NOT treat us according to our sins. Scripture affirms that God is on OUR side, and if God is WITH us, who can stand AGAINST us?

Consider this for a moment: the same God who fashioned the heavens and the earth, who brought the UNIVERSE into being and knows you INTIMATELY, is your ALLY and desires the BEST for you. Today’s verse POWERFULLY reminds us that when God is FOR us, no one can triumph OVER us. Not the pain of your PAST, not any ERROR you’ve made, not the forces of DARKNESS, your fiercest ADVERSARY, an unstable ECONOMY, a challenging housing market, or ANYTHING else in this world.

Today, focus NOT on what you are not, but on what He IS—He is FAITHFUL, He is LOVING, He is PRESENT with you, and He is your ADVOCATE. With God on your side, you are on the path to VICTORY every day of your LIFE.

Today’s Scripture:

“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”

Romans 8:31, NLT

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:WHATEVER YOU NEED, GOD IS YOUR SOURCE

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

WHATEVER YOU NEED, GOD IS YOUR SOURCE AND SUPPLY

Whatever your needs are today, remember that GOD is your provider and sustenance. You may feel exhausted from a prolonged spiritual or emotional STRUGGLE. God PROMISES to increase our STRENGTH and to make it FLOURISH. ONE way God endows us with His power is by granting us His JOY. With joy comes the strength to PREVAIL. Joy acts as a divine EMPOWERMENT within you. As you reflect on the goodness and loyalty of our GOD, His JOY will NATURALLY fill you. Like streams of fresh water, joy will EMANATE from WITHIN you, REVITALIZING and EMPOWERING you to surmount ANY challenge you face. If you’re feeling weak or tired, keep in mind that a bounty of BLESSINGS awaits you. Allow faith to GROW in your heart as you ponder His ASSURANCES. Let His peace and joy INFUSE you with a surplus of VIGOR. In DOING so, you’ll be equipped to lead the TRIUMPHANT life that the Lord has PLANNED for you.

Today’s Scripture:

He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].

Isaiah 40:29, AMPC

IT’S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK…..

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

GOD HAS PROMISED VICTORY, AND IT’S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

What are YOU trusting God for today? A PROMOTION? HEALING? Stronger RELATIONSHIPS? Freedom from ADDICTION? God has promised ALL these things in His Word. He desires for you to live in blessing and wholeness EVERY day of your life. However, to EXPERIENCE His promises, we must do OUR part. We must continue to believe and TRUST in Him. Today’s verse tells us that if we remain FAITHFUL, if we keep BELIEVING, HOPING, and doing the right THING, God promises there will be a REWARD. One translation puts it this way: “Don’t get discouraged. PAYDAY is coming!”

Have you been praying and believing for something that’s taking LONGER to manifest than you EXPECTED? Often, people miss out on God’s BEST because they give up before their “due SEASON” arrives. Do NOT let that be YOU! Be ENCOURAGED today; your answer is CLOSER than you think. If it seems like things are getting TOUGHER, remember, the increased INTENSITY means you’re closer to your VICTORY. It’s ALWAYS darkest just before dawn. You serve a FAITHFUL God who is working behind the SCENES for you. Don’t lose your confidence today, for your reward IS on its way. And just as a new mother FORGETS the pain of labor when she holds her newborn, you’ll forget YOUR struggle when you’re holding your PROMISE. While waiting, maintain an attitude of FAITH and EXPECTANCY. Wake up each morning and declare, “I’ve come too FAR to give up now. My due season IS coming. I WILL reap my harvest.” Keep the faith and LOOK for His blessings because He has promised you VICTORY, and it’s CLOSER than you THINK!

Today’s Scripture:

“So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!”

Hebrews 10:35, NLT

…YOU’RE IN GOD’S HANDS…..

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

THE ENEMY IS ULTIMITLY OUT TO STEAL YOUR JOY BUT REMEMBER, YOU’RE IN GOD’S HANDS

It’s easy to look at current events on Earth and feel FEAR or DISMAY. The situation may appear INSRUMOUNTABLE. Perhaps your BUSINESS is floundering, you’ve lost your JOB, you’re facing RELATIONSHIP challenges, or you’re worried about the ECONOMY. In such times, it’s crucial to recall that God has vowed NEVER to abandon us or FORSAKE us. Indeed, He is not only WITH us but has also promised to FORTIFY us and make us RESILIENT to hardships. This means that when difficult times arise, they simply deflect OFF you. You don’t LET your circumstances rob you of your peace and joy. You adopt the mindset, “This problem may be SIGNIFICANT, but my GOD is GREATER!”

Remember, the adversary doesn’t covet your finances; he’s ultimately after your PEACE and JOY. He’s aware that if he can take your JOY, he can take your STRENGTH. However, when you remain in communion with the Father through PRAYER, study His WORD, and proclaim His PROMISES over your life, you become IMPERVIOUS to difficulties and remain SECURE in God’s HANDS.

Today’s Scripture:

Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].

Isaiah 41:10, AMP

….THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK…..

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

GOD IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM

He aims to lavish His extensive favor upon you, ensuring that your endeavors flourish. He intends to endow you with spiritual gifts, fortifying your inner being. He wishes for you to take pride in your work and find joy in your occupation daily. These are the blessings God offers.

Each divine gift is intended to bring us nearer to Him. He is benevolent and steadfast, rewarding those who earnestly pursue Him. Pursue Him today and discover the blessed life He has prepared for you.

CHOOSE INTEGRITY…..

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

CHOOSE INTEGRITY IN THE LITTLE THINGS, AND GOD WILL MAKE YOU RULER OVER MUCH

INTEGRITY is a significant ATTRIBUTE in the life of a believer. It signifies that you are dependable, a person of your word, CONSISTENT, and HONEST.

You may consider yourself a good person who MOSTLY does the right thing. However, it’s often the SMALL missteps that can lead you astray. Minor deviations can eventually take you MILES off your INTENDED path. Avoid letting trivial matters divert you from your DESTINY; uphold INTEGRITY, even in solitude. For example, you may need PAPTER at home, but taking supplies from the office is NOT the answer. Similarly, using a handicap PARKING spot for a quick store VISIT, if not entitled, is INAPPROPRIATE. And if a cashier accidentally OVERPAYS you, view it NOT as providence but as a test of INTEGRITY.

Remember, being faithful and upholding integrity in SMALL matters can lead to greater RESPONSABILITIES. Live with INTEGRITY and pave the way for God’s blessings and honor THROUGHOUT your life.

Today’s Scripture:

“The Lord judges the people; judge me, O Lord, and do me justice according to my righteousness [my rightness, justice, and right standing with You] and according to the integrity that is in me.”

Psalm 7:8, AMPC

RESIST BEING AFRAID…..

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

RESIST BEING AFRAID, THE SPIRIT OF FEAR DOES NOT COME FROM GOD

Regardless of today’s events AROUND you, you can maintain INNER peace. Scripture advises us NOT to let our hearts be troubled. Essentially, avoid dwelling on the world’s negativity to the extent that it robs you of your PEACE. If you experience fear, worry, or anxiety about ANYTHING, understand that these feelings do NOT originate from God, for He has assured us of a spirit of POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND mind. Peace holds immense POWER. With INTERNAL peace, your thoughts become CLEARER. God’s voice becomes more DISCERNIBLE. Your DECISIONS improve. Even your physical BODY reacts positively to peace. The adversary is AWARE of this and aims to DISRUPT your peace. However, when you embrace the peace from GOD, NO adversity will prevail. You can live in peace, joy, and the abundant life that God has PLANNED for you.

Today’s Scripture:

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

John 14:27, NIV
