Entering into Grace


Enter [the Lord's] gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
 --Psalm 100:4-5
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE
Worship is always about entering - entering into grace, entering with thanksgiving, entering to share with others, but most of all entering into the Lord's presence in a special way.  But our entering is not the basis of worship.   Instead, worship is about the Lord's faithfulness, goodness, and enduring grace.  We come to God like so many before us, who are waiting with God for us.  We come to praise him for all he has been, all he is, and all he will be.  We come to enter and worship.

MY PRAYER
Faithful God, the Almighty Rock of Israel, the God on whom the generations trusted, you alone, LORD, are God.  I praise you for your enduring grace and mercy.   I praise you because I want my heart tuned to your will.  I praise you, because I want to prepare for my longest lifetime, the one in your presence. I praise you in Jesus' name.  Amen.
The Time of Favor

Today's Scripture
That day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the days of his life…
Joshua 4:14, NIV.

Today's Word
I love the promise that God gave to Joshua. He said, “Joshua, today I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all the Israelites.” He was saying, “Today, I’m going to start releasing more of My favor, My blessings, My increase.” But notice, there was a specific time in his life that God began to release favor in a new way.

Friend, I believe God wants to do the same thing for you. He wants to release His blessing and favor in such a way that it makes you great—a great parent, a great spouse, a great leader, a great employee, a great friend, a great business person. He is saying to us what He said to Joshua, “This day I’m going to begin to make your name great. This day I’m going to begin to release My favor in a new way. I’m going to open doors that no man can shut.” It is a set time of God’s favor. Get ready! Make room in your thinking. Stay open to Him and keep an attitude of faith and expectancy because the time of God’s favor is here!

Prayer for Today
Father, I bless You today. Thank You for pouring out Your favor and blessing upon me. I open my heart and mind to receive every good thing You have in store for me today in Jesus’ name. Amen. By: Joel Osteen
