TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me." (Psalm 57:2 NLT) .
TODAY'S WORD
, if there's one thing that can lead you down a road away from your potential and seeing the awesome plan God has for your life, it's your emotions. Emotions are God-given, but oftentimes, people allow their circumstances to dictate their emotions and thoughts instead of the Word of God.
In 2009 I wasn't sure I was going to make it -- depression, feelings of suicide, and total despair had crept into my life. In 2010 I started to come out of it and with the help of the truth of God's Word I saw Him deliver me. This passage today says God "will fulfill his purpose for me." This isn't a might passage -- it is a "He will" passage. No matter what you are in, no matter what you are going through -- God is bigger than all that and HE WILL!
When we allow our circumstances to dictate our emotions, when we get upset by what we see or hear, it opens the door for doubt and fear to come in. The Bible says that when we allow doubt and fear in, we become unstable. We are tossed back and forth. But understand that the way you feel today has little to do with what God is actually doing in your life. He's working behind the scenes whether you realize it or not! Don't allow yourself to be tossed around by your emotions any longer. Instead, choose to be stable-minded. Focus your thoughts on the Word of God so you can confidently move forward into the good plan He has designed for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word which is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I choose to meditate on Your Word knowing that it is the source of strength and faith. Help me to be stable-minded, and I set my focus on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
