TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains" (Colossians 4:3, NLT).
TODAY'S WORD , did you know Paul was writing these words while he was in chains in prison? He was arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted "limitations," but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next. No matter what "chains" you may feel like you are in today, remember, we serve a God who's in the business of setting people free. He has equipped you with His power, and He has promised to walk with you all the days of your life. When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you're in chains, remember, God is still at work in your life. Like Paul, keep your hopes up. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Keep looking for His favor and pray for opportunities to be opened to you. A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, I choose to take my eyes off my surroundings and focus on You. I choose to focus on the passion and dream You've planted in my heart. I trust that You are working behind the scenes and opening doors of opportunity. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
