You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with
Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek,
slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
--Galatians
3:26-29

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
One. Basic, simple, and easy to understand. When we become Christians through faith and baptism
into Christ, we are made one with all other Christians around the world. Race, gender, and social status are
gone. All that's left is One, the One,
Jesus. Our lives are his and thus are connected to each other.
Our destination is the same, heaven. Our family is the church. No barriers.
No closed doors. We are one.
MY PRAYER
Abba
Father, thank you for adopting me into your family. May we be one earth now, as
we will be when we are all together round your throne in heaven. I pray for unity among all those who call
upon your name and share your Spirit so the world may know there is a solution
to conflict, strife and division. Through Jesus our Savior, I pray. Amen.
Promotion
Comes from the Lord
Today's
Scripture:
For not from the east nor from the west nor
from the south come promotion and lifting up. But God is the Judge! He puts
down one and lifts up another.
Psalm 75:6-7, AMP.
Today's
Word:
Have you ever noticed that people tend to act
differently around those they think can do something for them—people who appear
to have status, wealth or influence in life? I believe that the way we treat
people is a test. At times, God will bring people across your path that may
seem insignificant. They may not appear to be able to do anything for you, but
in reality, they are divinely linked to your destiny. They hold the key to your
promotion and increase. Will you treat them with respect and honor even if you
think they can’t do anything for you?
The truth is that the people we’re playing up
to or trying to win their favor may be the ones that open a door for us, but
they don’t hold the key to our destiny. Promotion doesn’t come from them.
Promotion comes from God. And, God will use the most unlikely people to open
doors of opportunity for you—a hotel bellman, a maid, an intern, or an
unpopular kid at school. Let’s pass the test and treat everyone like Jesus put
them in our path because He probably did. Remember, God is watching and
promotion comes from Him.
Prayer
for Today:
Father, thank You for promotion. Thank You
for ordering my steps and leading me on the right path. Today I choose to honor
and respect everyone, and in turn, I choose to honor You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
