Not What You Think Today's Devotional Reading: 1 Chr. 16; Psalm 106; Matthew 19   May 2, 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 many who seem to be important now will be the least important then, and those who are considered least here will be the greatest then."  (Matthew 19:30, NLT). TODAY'S WORD    , life isn't always what we think or see. So often we look at others as "better than ourselves", but God see the heart and when we get to Heaven, it's going to look a lot different then we thought. God longs to give you a glimpse of heaven while you are here on earth. He wants to show you His wonderful plan and bring it to pass in your life. Have you ever thought about how God's will is accomplished in heaven? In heaven, God's will is automatic. There are no opposing forces of darkness or anything that can come against His will. On earth, His will is activated in our lives first when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior; and then we must choose to come into agreement with His will on a daily basis in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. On earth, we have to stand against the forces of darkness. We have to refuse those negative, self-defeating thoughts. As you open your heart to the Word of God and invite His will to be done in your life, you are becoming one with the Father. Ephesians six tells us that we are empowered by our union with Him. Today, declare God's Word over your life. Declare that His will be done in your life. As you stand strong in your union with Him, you will overcome opposition and see His will in your life...as it is in heaven!   A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   Heavenly Father, I humbly come to You today and invite Your will to be done in my life. I submit every area of my heart to You. Let everything I say and do bring glory to You. In Jesus Name. Amen. We sure love and believe in you . Live Blessed!
