November 15, 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 

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD   
, God has given you everything you need in order to enjoy your life. Think about that for a minute. What is keeping you from living life to the full? You may not be in the home you want. You may not have the exact job you would like. Maybe you're single and really want to be married. If you focus on these temporary things, it opens the door to comparison and frustration.

It's good to have big dreams. It's good to want to increase. But if you start comparing yourself to others, it opens the door for the enemy to steal your joy. If you don't learn to be happy where you are, you'll never get to where you want to be. But if you'll choose to be happy, refuse self-pity and refuse to complain, then you are sowing good seeds for God to take you where you want to be in your future.

 

, realize today that God is directing your steps. You have a future and a hope. Take joy in knowing that He is working all things together for your good according to His divine plan. Stay in faith, focus on Him and obey His commands. Soon, you'll see those new doors open so you can walk boldly into the place of blessing God has in store for you!


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father, today I choose to put my hope and trust in You. I know that You are working all things together for my good. I refuse self-pity. I refuse to compare. I choose joy and the divine plan You have prepared for me in Jesus' name! Amen.

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