TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised" (Hebrews 10:36).
TODAY'S WORD
What are you believing God for today? Promotion? Healing? Stronger relationships? Deliverance? A New Home? God has promised all these things to you in His Word because it's His heart for you to live in blessing and wholeness all the days of your life. When you do the will of God by obeying His Word and precepts, it opens the door for His promises to be fulfilled in your life. You may be doing all the right things today-don't give up! Perseverance will carry you to the promise. Perseverance means that you are focused and believing in what God says about your situation. It's looking away from distractions and any negative, defeating thoughts. I know this is hard, I've been there and living there even now, but perseverance looks away from discouragement and looks to the Word of God. Perseverance has a voice, and it says things like, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper...if God is for me, who can be against me! I am more than a conqueror through Jesus!" Whatever you are believing for today, keep believing! Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. Ask God to give you endurance, perseverance, and patience so that you can see His promises fulfilled in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for Your good promises to me. I ask that You give me a heart that is steadfast and fixed on You today. Fill me with Your peace and perseverance so I can live in victory all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen!
We sure love you!
