Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on
your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your
paths straight.
Proverbs
3:5-6

International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
When
things are tough, I find it easy to call on God and lean on his mercy and
grace. He's my ripcord Savior. But I must confess, when I'm reveling in his
blessings and things are going well, I am so much like the Israelites and
forget to acknowledge that all the blessings I have and all the opportunities I
have received come because of his grace. In my joy and success, I need to learn
to acknowledge him!
MY PRAYER
Gracious
Father, every good thing I have in my life has come because of you. The family
I have been blessed with, the protection I have received, the values that I
hold, the successes I have enjoyed, the hope I have, the salvation I have
received, and the future I anticipate are all mine because of your grace and
not my goodness. Thank you! Thank you! Through Jesus I thank you more! Amen.
Fire up Your Dreams
Today's Scripture
For
this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you…
2
Timothy 1:6, NIV.
Today's Word
I
believe that God has planted seeds of greatness on the inside of every one of
us. We all have dreams and desires, things we want to accomplish; things we
want to see changed. But so many times, life has a way of stealing our dreams.
We go through disappointments, face adversity, things don’t turn out as we
would like. Too often, people just end up settling for second best. But God
doesn’t want us to settle for second best. He wants us to be determined, press
on, and pursue the greatness that’s on the inside. We should never let “good
enough” be good enough!
I
want to encourage you today to stir yourself up and get your fire back. Start
speaking victory over your future. If one dream has died, dream another dream.
Put yourself in a positive, faith-filled environment. Get around people of
excellence who live passionately. Fan the flame that is in you so you can move
forward into all God has in store for you!
Prayer for Today
Father,
I come to You today giving You my disappointments, setbacks, hurts and broken
dreams. I ask that You restore my passion and vision for the future. Let Your
flame burn brightly in me now and forevermore in Jesus’ name. Amen.
