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
"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever" (I Chronicles 16:34AMP).

TODAY'S WORD

, gratitude is a powerful force in the life of the believer. No matter what may be happening in the world around you, you can always find something to thank God for. Having constant gratitude shows that you have faith in God because not only do you thank Him for what He has done in the past, you thank Him for what He will do in the future. It's that kind of faith that pleases God and causes Him to move on your behalf.

Constant gratitude also shows humility because when we are thankful, we magnify God instead of magnifying our problems. It gives us proper perspective and opens the door for God's grace, favor, and supernatural empowerment.

So what are you grateful for today? Are you grateful for the sun that shines and brings us a new day? Are you thankful for the gift of eternal life?As you choose an attitude of constant gratitude, you'll experience His mercy and lovingkindness in greater ways. You'll be filled with His peace and joy and be empowered to move forward into the abundant life He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Father in heaven, today I declare my thanks to You for all You have done in my life. Help me see Your hand of blessing as I continually acknowledge and praise Your name. Fill me with Your peace and joy as I keep You first place in all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

, we sure love and believe in you. Our prayer for you is that you live a blessed life!

A Door of Opportunity
Today's Devotional Reading: Amos 4-6; Psalm 86, 87; Titus 1

CLICK on the Scripture above to link into your daily reading.

June 29, 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
"I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close" (Revelation 3:8, NLT).

TODAY'S WORD

, I believe that God is ready to present you with new opportunities. He wants to open new doors before you. It doesn't matter what's happening in the world around you, God's Word remains true!

Remember, in an instant, God can bring the right people into your life, the right opportunities, and the right resources to take you to a whole new level. But in order to go to a higher level, you have to have a higher way of thinking. You can't allow worry and fear to fill your thoughts because fear actually blocks the door of God's blessing. Instead, fill your mind with the Word of God. Let His truth empower you because His ways are always higher than our ways; and I believe that even now, He is working behind the scenes on your behalf!

Today, choose to keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. Begin to thank Him for the opportunities that are just ahead for you. Shut the door on fear and let God lead you by His peace through the door of opportunity He has prepared for you!
