Ask for Rain Today's Devotional Reading: Genesis 6-8; Luke 3 January 3, 2011 By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "But God remembered Noah and all the animals in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the waters, and the floods began to disappear." (Genesis 8:1 NLT). TODAY'S WORD   , this Monday morning as I read the account of Noah and the flood I feel like God wants us to ask for rain. In the Scripture, rain represents God's favor. It was a good thing God destroyed the earth...it was so wicked. In Zechariah 10:1 it says, "Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain" What does that mean? You might think, "If it's raining, it doesn't seem like you'd need to ask for it." But God is saying, "My favor is available to you, but you're not going to receive it unless you ask." Right now, God is showering down blessings, healing, promotion, and good ideas. It's raining favor. But we have to do our part to get our words in line with what God wants to do. We have to ask for that favor. We have to call it in if we are going to experience it. We have to release our faith with our words. I've had a hard time doing this these last two years, but not any more! This is a great day to be alive! God is pouring out his favor like no other time in history. Right now, it is raining increase. It's raining new ideas. It's raining promotion. Don't let it pass you by. Start declaring it for yourself, "I am blessed. I am prosperous. I am favored. I am healthy. I am free." Ask for rain in this time of rain, and you'll see His blessing and provision in every area of your life! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for Your grace, mercy, and favor. I ask for rain in the time of rain, I ask for increase in Your favor and blessing so I can be a blessing to those around me today and always. In Jesus' Name. Amen. We sure love you!
