[The
Lord says,] "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am
your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand."
Isaiah
41:10
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Fear
saps our will power and leaves us feeling depleted and hopeless. Yet very few
of us have ever experienced a defeat so complete and bitter as the one God's
people faced when Isaiah shared this message of hope. The preservation of
Israel to the time of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the
triumph of the Church through centuries of persecution and opposition are
powerful reminders that underneath us are the everlasting arms of a mighty and
loving God.
MY PRAYER
Almighty
and Eternal Father, it is such sweet comfort to know that you are always there.
Thank you! In Jesus name. Amen.
FOXES IN YOUR
FINANCES
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Catch
the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards
are in blossom.”
(Song
of Solomon 2:15, ESV)
TODAY’S WORD
Oftentimes,
it’s not big things that hold us back; it’s small things — especially in your
finances. A few dollars a day on coffee quickly turns into hundreds. Too many
credit cards become overwhelming to keep up with. That person who hasn’t
balanced their checkbook in two years probably hears a little voice every time
they go to write a check, “Get your finances in order.” We have to realize that
if we’re not faithful with what we have, God won’t entrust us with more. One
lady told me how she hadn’t balanced her checkbook in so long she just closed
the account and opened up a brand new one. At least she took action!
I
have people tell me all the time, “Joel, I’m going to start giving. I’m going
to start tithing my income as soon as I make more money.” No, don’t wait until
you have $1,000. Tithe on the $10 you have right now. Don’t let the little
foxes spoil your finances. Don’t let another day go by without obeying God.
When you set your finances in order, when you put God first in all you do, you
are opening the door for His blessing. He says when we are faithful with the
little, God will make us ruler over much!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, today I choose to be obedient. I don’t want to let little foxes affect my
finances. I dedicate my resources to You. Speak to my heart and show me where
to give. I choose to be a faithful sower and expect to reap an abundant harvest
by Your Word in Jesus’ name! Amen.
