God
made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the
righteousness of God.
2
Corinthians 5:21
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Righteousness!
That's what we are. God's righteousness. We are the testimony of how holy,
just, and gracious he truly is, because in Jesus, we are his righteousness!
MY PRAYER...
Thank
you, O Almighty God, for making me righteous in the blood of your son's death.
May people see in me a reflection of your holiness, justice, and mercy. Through
Jesus, who sacrificed for my sins, I pray. Amen.
CREATED TO THRIVE
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have
life, and have it to the full”
(John
10:10, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD
So
many people today are living in “survival” mode. They have a mentality that
says, “If I can just make it through...” or “If I can just get by...” Of
course, there are some seasons that are more difficult than others. Sometimes
it’s challenging to get a vision for the future. But if you are constantly
living with a survival mentality, you are missing out on God’s best. Scripture
doesn’t say, “Jesus came so you could survive.” No, it says that He came to give
you a full, abundant life!
If
you are living in survival mode right now, I believe that today can be your
turning point. If you’ll take a step of faith and begin to declare, “My days of
survival are over; my days of thriving have begun,” then I believe God will
meet your faith. I believe He will open an unexpected door. He’ll pour out His
favor and blessing on you. He’ll make a way where there seems to be no way!
Even if you’re in a tough time right now, remember tough times don’t last, but
the Word of the Lord stands forever. Begin to declare what God says about your
circumstances because you are created for more than to just get by — you are
created to thrive!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, thank You for giving me abundant life through Jesus Christ. I believe that
You have a good plan for my future. I declare that my days of thriving have
begun as I continue to put my faith and trust in You alone in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
