Today's Devotional Reading: Job 17; Acts 24-26

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. You are to tell the world what you have seen and what I will show you in the future." (Acts 26:16 NLT)

TODAY'S WORD

It’s time to be aggressive and energetic when it comes to letting go of the past and pressing forward to the abundant life God has in store. It's time to rise up and boldly go after your victory! It's time to develop a warrior mentality and proactively pursue happiness, health, and peace that is promised in God's Word.

God told Saul to get up and when he did he became Paul. God told Joshua to cross over the Jordan and go in and possess the land. Notice that the word, "possess" implies action. It means to drive out the previous tenants. It's time to quit dwelling on past mistakes and failures and determine to never look back! As you set your focus like a flint towards the Word of God and His promises, you'll discover victory arising in every area of life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

God, because of You, I can let go of the past and stride purposefully toward the victorious future planned for me. Life is too short to sit idly by and wait for blessings to happen to me; instead, I will proactively pursue your plan! In Jesus' Name - Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
