God Blessed Us To See Another Day☀️

Today’s Scripture

“…his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.” Jeremiah 20:9, NIV

Today’s Word

When God first called Jeremiah to be a prophet, he responded, “I’m too young. I can’t speak. I’m unqualified.” In today’s Scripture, even though he’s in the midst of heavy persecution and discouragement, Jeremiah is saying, “God put His word in me, and it’s like a fire shut up in me. I have this gift, this talent, this anointing, and a power that I never realized.”

That makes me wonder what is shut up in you right now? What has God already programmed you with that He wants to make a fire? Perhaps a book, a talent, a business, resources, leadership, courage, or wealth is shut up in you. God has already ordained it to happen. You’ve been faithful and done the right thing when it was hard. God is about to release what’s been shut up. You’re going to step into resources you never dreamed you would handle, doors you never expected to open, talent you didn’t know is in you. Get ready. It’s going to be something that will cause you to stand out, to impact your family and your community, to leave your mark.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for the fire of the promises and dreams that are burning deep inside me. Help me stir up my gift and creativity and let the passion become a flame. I believe that there is nothing the enemy can bring against me that can put out Your fire. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️

Today’s Scripture

But you, why do you criticize your brother? Or you again, why do you look down on your brother or regard him with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. Romans 14:10, AMP

Today’s Word

It’s easy to be critical of someone when we hear what they supposedly said or did that we think is wrong or is something we don’t like. But how many times are we judging things prematurely, finding fault in someone without knowing the facts, without knowing the motives, without knowing the challenges, without knowing how they were raised or what they’re dealing with? Sometimes we’re critical of things we don’t understand. We form negative opinions when it’s actually not what it looks like. We don’t know the full story, and we assume things that may not be true. If we walked in that person’s shoes, most of the time we’d be more understanding, more compassionate.

Even if what we’ve heard is true, where is the mercy? Where is the grace to give people room to make mistakes, to not be perfect? Maybe God is dealing with them, maybe they’re going to make better decisions. Instead of judging them, talking behind their backs, why don’t you take that same time and pray for them? Be a part of the solution and not the problem.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for freely giving me Your mercy that I might freely give it to others. Thank You for always calling me higher, to see others through Your eyes, and to have an understanding heart. Help me to not be critical and judgmental of others, to be part of the solution and not the problem. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️

Today’s Scripture

Don’t be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep traveling steadily along his pathway and in due season he will honor you with every blessing. Psalm 37:34, TLB

Today’s Word

It’s easy to get impatient and try to take matters into your own hands when what you’re trusting God for is taking longer than you thought. But God’s promise is that if you keep traveling steadily in faith, He will honor you with every blessing in His timing. Don’t fight the wait or get discouraged. Don’t be in a hurry when you’re waiting for the right person, waiting for the business to rebound, waiting for your health to turn around. God is strategic. God does everything for a reason. There is nothing random or haphazard about His actions. He knows what you need and when you’re going to need it. Sometimes He delays things, closes a door, or causes someone to walk away. You may not recognize it at that moment, but it’s all serving His plan. He is working on what you’re concerned about. If it hasn’t happened yet, it wasn’t supposed to happen. God has an appointed time to bring the promise to pass. You can stay in peace, knowing that He’s ordering your steps and every blessing is on the way.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that there is a purpose for times of waiting, whether I understand it or not. Help me to be patient, to keep traveling steadily along Your path, and to rest in the fact that it’s all part of Your plan. I believe that You have every blessing already lined up for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️

Today’s Scripture

Be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. Titus 1:8, NIV

Today’s Word

Many people are disciplined when it comes to their career. They’re productive, on time, excellent. Some people are disciplined when it comes to their health. They eat right, exercise, and get the right amount of sleep. But when it comes to our thought life, sometimes we’re undisciplined and lack self-control. We let any thought in, then we let it stay and play over and over in our mind. “You never get any good breaks. Everything always goes wrong. It’s not going to change.” We end up living worried, insecure, intimidated, and troubled.

If you’re going to stay in peace, full of faith, expecting God’s favor, you can’t be passive and just think whatever comes into your mind. You can’t give space to thoughts that limit you. You have to have a disciplined mind. You have to be responsible to exercise self-control. You have to keep out the doubts and lies, lock up any deceptive thoughts, and focus on what God says about you, on what He promises you in His Word. Set up a guard over your mind, and you’ll live positive, joyful, and full of faith.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for giving me Your promises to meditate upon. Thank You that Your Word instructs me to be disciplined and to think on things that are true and right, wholesome and pure. I declare that I will exercise self-control over the thoughts playing in my mind and win the battle. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️

God Morning Family and May Your Day Be Blessed☀️

Today’s Scripture

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.” Isaiah 46:4, NLT

Today’s Word

Where would we be without the God who carries us through the difficulties, who sustains us, who has not let the opposition defeat us, not let the anxiety take root, not let the doubt talk us out of our dreams? Your heavenly Father loves carrying you, and you never get too old for God to carry you. When you’re tempted to worry that you might not make it through a sickness, or you feel overwhelmed by a loss or discouraged by people at work who are not fair, just start thanking Him for carrying you.

You may have things coming against you now, and you don’t see how you can keep going. You could live upset and bitter, but God knows what you’re going through, the struggles, the lonely nights, the unfair situations. He is saying, “I’m going to carry you. I have you close to My heart. You’re in the palm of My hand.” You’re about to feel strength that you’ve never felt, peace when you could be stressed, favor that will make things happen that you couldn’t make happen.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for promising me grace for every difficulty, and thank You for carrying me throughout my lifetime. Thank You that You made me and care about every detail of my life. I declare that nothing that’s coming against me will be too much. I will rest in the palm of Your hand. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️
