TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty" (Zechariah 4:6).

TODAY'S WORD

Inthis day and age, we are equipped with so many wonderful resources in the natural: technology, education, abilities. It's easy to rely on our own natural strength for so many things. We have to remember that this natural world is only temporary, but the spiritual realm is eternal.

Today our hotel/ministry center sale will close and so will a chapter in my life. This has been a place that God had us in for the last six years. While my heart is sad, I know it is not my strength that leads, but rather God is the one who will order my steps.

We aren't limited to the earth's resources; we have unlimited spiritual resources by the Spirit of God. There are things in life that can't happen by human thinking and reasoning. There are things that won't be solved by natural power and might. But God is not limited by the resources of this world. When you open the door of faith in your heart, God will move through you in powerful ways by His Spirit. By His Spirit, you can overcome temptation. By His Spirit, you can receive healing. By His Spirit, you can fulfill every dream and desire in your heart. No matter what challenges or obstacles you may be facing today, know that you can live in complete victory by His Spirit!

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for giving me access to all Your spiritual blessings by Your Spirit today. I choose to rely on You and trust that You are working in my life. I praise and bless You, knowing that You are leading me in victory in every area of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
