April 18, 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 
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us..." (Romans 12:6, NIV).

TODAY'S WORD   
, God has given each of us gifts, and He's given us the grace, the supernatural power to operate in those gifts. In other words, if God has called you to do something, He has equipped you by His grace.

Scripture says that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. That means when we are doing what we are called to do, when we are operating in our gift, there will be an "easiness" about it. That doesn't mean there won't be any opposition. It doesn't mean there won't be obstacles or that it won't take effort on your part. But what it does mean is that you will have a supernatural empowerment to do it. It will just come naturally and flow out of you.

 

If you are doing something that always seems hard, always seems heavy and drains the energy out of you, you might want to spend some time in prayer before God and see if that's really what He has for you. Just because it's a "good" thing doesn't mean it's a "God" thing. But when it is God, you'll know it. You'll feel His supernatural grace empowering you and refreshing you every step of the way.


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father God, thank You for empowering me to live by Your grace. Help me to discern what You have for me and let go of anything that isn't Your best for my life. I love You and honor You in all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

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