I
am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither
present nor the future, nor powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is ours
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans
8:38-39
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Separation
is something we fear whether it's from a child, a parent, a sibling, a spouse,
a friend, or from God. Because Jesus bore the separation from God, becoming and
going to the cross, we can know we won't have to ever be separated from God's
love.
MY PRAYER...
Great
Father of all peoples, thank you for loving me. Thank you for giving me the
promise that nothing can separate me from your love. Please fill me with your
Spirit and make me more aware of your accompanying presence in my life today. I
pray in Jesus name. Amen.
SWITCH OVER
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Though
the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines...yet I will rejoice in
the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation”
(Habakkuk
3:17–18, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
We
all face challenges and obstacles in this life. We all have dreams in our
hearts, and at times, it looks like they’re not going to come to pass. During
these difficult seasons, we have a choice. We can get negative and discouraged
and talk about how things are not going to work out, or we can switch over into
praise and thanksgiving which opens the door for God to move on our behalf.
A
lot of times people think, “I’ll have a good attitude as soon as I get over
this health issue.” “Joel, I’ll give God praise when I get through these tough
times.” But that’s not how faith works. As long as we’re negative, discouraged
and focused on our problems, it limits what God can do. You’ve got to give God
praise first, and then the breakthrough will come. You’ve got to change your
focus first, and then things will change in your favor. Praise always precedes
the victory.
Today,
if you’ve been dwelling on the wrong things and focusing in the wrong
direction, switch over into praise and thanksgiving. Begin to declare that God
is good. Declare that He is faithful. Declare His praises and open the door to
victory in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, today I humbly come before You, lifting You up and magnifying Your holy
name. Thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I bless You and
honor You for Your goodness in Jesus’ name. Amen!
