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 
"The LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes" (Psalm 118:23, NIV).

TODAY'S WORD   
I love David's attitude in today's verse. He was declaring the goodness of God and bragging on His faithfulness! We need to always remember that every blessing in our life is from Him. That promotion, good break, healing or new opportunity-that was God's doing. Scripture says that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father above.

We used to sing a song growing up, "Look What the Lord Has Done." It was a song that just bragged on God. It was a great reminder that all through the day we should be bragging on God's goodness. We should be remembering His mighty acts. See, when we give God all the glory, that's when He will pour out His blessings in greater measure. When we are humble and don't try to take the credit, His grace and favor increases on us.

 

Today, look for opportunities to brag on God. If you are breathing today, brag on Him as your Creator. If you got to work safely today, brag on Him for being your Protector. If you are facing a difficulty, brag on the fact that He is your Deliverer and breakthrough is on the way! Keep declaring His goodness and faithfulness and watch what God will do on your behalf!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father God, You alone are worthy of all the praise and glory for the good things in my life! Thank You for blessing me, thank You for the breakthroughs in my past and the breakthroughs in my future. I bless You because You are good, and I choose to brag on You today! In Jesus' Name. Amen.

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

May 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 
"And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God" (Deuteronomy 28:2, ESV).

TODAY'S WORD   
our God is a rewarder of those who seek Him! When you keep God first place and do your best to honor Him, the Scripture says, "His blessings will chase you down and overtake you." That means you will come into increase, promotion and good breaks that you didn't necessarily deserve. That's God rewarding you for walking in His ways.

We see this principle in the Old Testament with Ruth. She was out in the fields following behind the workers and gathering up the leftover wheat that they missed. She was trying to take care of her mother-in-law, Naomi, but they were barely surviving. One day, the owner of the fields told the workers to leave handfuls of wheat on purpose for Ruth. Ruth came into blessings that were simply dropped at her feet.

 

Every one of us can look back and see times where God has left us handfuls on purpose-something that we didn't deserve or even ask for. We just stumbled into it. That's a "handful on purpose." I encourage you to always keep your expectancy up. Keep trusting God and obeying His voice because He is ready to bless you in unexpected ways today!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father in heaven, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I trust You as my Provider; You are the One who cares for me. I acknowledge You with my love and thank You for leaving me "handfuls on purpose" today! In Jesus' Name. Amen.

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