Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - You Have Been Planted

You Have Been Planted
Today's Devotional Reading:
Leviticus 7-9; Acts 15
February 8, 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
 
 

"We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the special favor of the Lord Jesus." (Acts 15:11 NLT).


TODAY'S WORD
 
 
, we all face difficulties and challenges in life. But you have to remember, as a believer in Jesus, you have the life-giving seed of Almighty God on the inside of you. When you go through disappointments or tough times, you may feel like you´ve been buried. You may feel like you´re in a dark, lonely place. You may feel like it´s the end, but in reality, it´s only the beginning. I know this, I've been there just like you have. The fact is, you haven´t been buried; you have been planted. That means you´re coming back. And not only are you coming back, but you´re coming back in increase, better and stronger than before.

In those tough times, you´ve got to draw the line in the sand. Make a declaration, "This difficulty is not going to bury me. This loss, this disappointment, this injustice is not going to cause me to give up on my dreams. I refuse to live in self-pity. I know I am a seed. That means I cannot be buried. I can only be planted. I may be down, but it´s only temporary. I know I´m not only coming back, I´m coming back even better than I was before!"


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
 

Father in heaven, thank You for filling me with Your life-giving seed. I choose today to focus on the potential for my future. I know that I will overcome every obstacle by Your power that is at work in me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
