Today's Devotional Reading: Genesis 18,19; Psalm 3; Luke 7
January 7, 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

"So many are saying,'God will never rescue him!' But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head high." (Psalm 3:2-3 NLT).

TODAY'S WORD

, are you expecting God to fill you and increase you beyond measure? I know your heart has been "nicked" by life and it's easy to join others in thinking God won't rescue us. But you and I know better don't we?

Negative thinking closes you to what God wants to do in your life. If you go around thinking, "Well, I don't think I'll ever meet my sales goals this year with the economy like it is"; or "I don't think I'll ever get promoted. I'm not that qualified"; or "I don't think I'll ever get well -- I just can't get out of this depression", then the problem is that you can't see your shield. But Jesus said, "According to your faith it will be done unto you." He might as well have said, "If you've got a cup, I'll fill you with a cup level of blessing. If you've got a bucket, I'll fill you with a bucket level of blessing." Jesus is saying today, why don't you take the limits off? Why don't you believe for supernatural opportunities? Why don't you go out each day expecting increase and promotion?

Expect favor, expect peace, expect joy. If you'll go out each day expecting far-and-beyond favor, if you'll "open wide your mouth", you won't be disappointed. He'll fill your cup until it overflows so that you can live the abundant life He has in store for you.

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Heavenly Father, I come to You today, giving You all that I am. I trust that You have a plan for my good. I trust that You are opening doors that no one can shut. Thank You for filling me with You today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We sure love you!

Eric & Rita
