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   
 "This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24, NLT).

TODAY'S WORD   
, happiness isn't just a random feeling; happiness is a choice. It's a decision that we have to make by an act of our will. All throughout life, you're going to have plenty of opportunities to lose your joy. We all go through disappointments. We all have times when things don't go our way. It's very easy to let the circumstances of life make us sour and dejected until we just go through the motions of day-to-day living. But if you're going to live in victory, if you're going to thrive the way God intends, you've got to make the decision that you're going to enjoy your life. You've got to choose to be happy in spite of your circumstances, every single day.

Today, remember, this is the day that the Lord has made! Choose to rejoice and be glad in it! As you choose joy, you are tapping into His strength which will carry you through to victory all the days of your life!


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to bless and serve You. I choose to rejoice today no matter what comes my way. Thank You for Your peace and strength to overcome in every area of my life! In Jesus' Name. Amen.

, we really do love you and we believe in you!

Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Think On These Things


Think On These Things               

   

Today's Devotional Reading: Judges. 8; Ps. 42; 1 Cor. 15

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

March 30, 2012

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   
" Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things" (Philippians 4:8, NIV).

TODAY'S WORD   
, God wants you to be blessed in every area of your life. The Bible says that Jesus came so that you and I could have life more abundantly, but it all starts in your thinking. That's why the scripture tells us very clearly what we should be thinking about-things that are noble, right, lovely, pure and praiseworthy. In other words, when a thought comes to your mind that you're never going to be successful, replace it by saying, "Father, You said in Proverbs that if I would put You first, You would crown my efforts with success. You said in the Psalms that You surround me with favor like a shield. You said in Deuteronomy that Your blessings would chase me down and overtake me!" That's how you take every thought captive, one thought at a time!

Today, refuse to allow any negative thoughts to take up space in your mind. Stay on the offensive and choose to think on the right things. Fill your heart and mind with the Word of God and open the door for His hand of blessing in every area of your life!


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father God, thank You for Your truth which sets me free. I choose to meditate on Your goodness and think on the right things. Direct my heart and mind toward what is pure and lovely. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

, we really do love you and we believe in you!
