THOUGHTS
ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE
Do you find it easy to replace service to
those in need with religious rituals? I
know I do! But God wants us to not get
so caught up in talking about him and celebrating his deeds, that we forget
we're supposed to care for others like he does. Whether it is Jesus defining
his ministry in Luke 4:18-19 or James talking about the kind of piety that
pleases God (1:26-27), we must realize true faith is treating others as God
would. Today's verse defines what God does and asks us to live the same.
MY
PRAYER
O Great God of all comfort, open my eyes
today to see those who need your love and give me the attentiveness, time, and
compassion to serve them. May Jesus'
work be seen in my life today. Amen.
VICTORY
IS ALWAYS ON THE WAY
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in
triumph in Christ...”
(2 Corinthians 2:14, NKJV)
TODAY’S
WORD
Isn’t it wonderful to know that God promises
to always lead us into victory? That means no matter what is going on in your
life today, no matter what’s happening in the world around you, no matter what
anybody says, you should always be thanking God because victory is always on
the way!
You don’t have to wait for everything to be
perfect before you decide to celebrate what God is going to do in your life.
Praise is putting action behind your faith. In the middle of adversity or a
tough time, start making a list of who you’re going to invite to your victory
celebration. That means if you’re in the hospital, start planning what you’re
going to do when you get out. If you lost some money when the stock market went
down, start planning your coming-out-of-debt party. When things don’t look good
in the natural, remember, we serve a supernatural God. With God leading you
into victory, you can always plan for increase. You can plan for restoration.
You can plan for a comeback, and you can plan for victory because He is leading
and guiding you in Jesus’ name!
A
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I give You thanks and praise
today for the promise of victory. Give me Your vision for the future so that I
can move confidently into the abundant life You have for me in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
