TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"But take courage! None of you will lose your lives, even though the ship will go down." (Acts 27:22 NLT)

TODAY'S WORD

Your thoughts determine your destiny. Paul was on a sinking ship and yet he was confident in His God. You can't make a decision or take a step without first thinking about it, and your thinking  changes the course of your life. That's why it's so important to keep your thoughts on God's Word and seek His plan and promises for your life. You can't think negative thoughts and expect a positive outcome. Proverbs 23:7 says "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." If you constantly dwell on God's Word that says, "You are an overcomer," and "You can do all things through Christ," then soon, you will become what the scripture says, and you will be on your way to fulfilling your destiny.

Then next time the enemy brings negative thoughts to you, use it as an opportunity to give praise to the Lord! God is faithful to His Word and He will always be faithful to you. As you continue to seek Him, He will complete the work He's begun in your life.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

God, I will see myself as You see me-as an overcomer and your child! I will squash negative thoughts with prayer, scripture, and songs of praise. Thank you for faithfulness and perfect peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
We sure love you!

Eric & Rita
