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 soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied." (Proverbs 13:4, RSV.)

TODAY'S WORD   
, God longs to pour out His favor and blessing on you. He has rewards, victory and promotion for you, but these things don't happen automatically. You have to do your part. You have to be diligent. First of all, you have to be diligent to seek His ways and follow His commands. Then you also have to be diligent with what you have in your hand-your time, abilities and resources. In Matthew, Jesus tells a parable about three men whose employer entrusted them with some money. Two of the men were diligent and invested the money and received a great return. The third man was afraid and buried what he was given. The first two men were rewarded and praised for their diligence while the third man was basically fired.

Today, follow the example of the first two men and look for ways to be diligent with what you have in your hand. Whatever you do, do it with excellence! Be the best you can be. Go the extra mile even when you think it goes unnoticed because God notices and promises to richly supply the soul of the diligent!


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your favor and blessing on my life. Today I choose to be diligent. I choose to live in excellence and do everything to the best of my ability. I give You all the glory and thank You for Your faithfulness in Jesus' name. Amen.


, we really do love you and we pray this will be the best year ever!

Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - It Has a Great Reward


It Has a Great Reward

   
Today's Devotional Reading: Judg. 4-5; Ps. 39, 41; 1 Cor. 13

 

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

March 28, 2013

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  
"Do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward." (Hebrews 10:35, NASB.)

TODAY'S WORD   
, have you been praying and believing for something that seems like it's taking a lot longer than you anticipated? Many times, people can miss God's best simply because they give up before they see their "due season" come. Don't let that be you! Be encouraged today; your answer is closer than you think! If it seems like things are getting more difficult, remember, when the intensity heats up, that means you are closer to your victory. It always seems darkest just before the dawn arrives.

Remember, you serve a faithful God, and He's working behind the scenes on your behalf. Don't cast away your confidence today because your reward is coming. Just like a new mother forgets about her labor pain when she is finally holding her newborn, you'll forget about your struggle when you are holding on to your promise.

 

While you are waiting, keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. Wake up every morning and say out loud, "I've come too far to give up now. My due season is coming. I will reap my harvest." Stay in faith and look for His hand of blessing because He has promised you victory, and your reward is coming!


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father in heaven, today I stand believing that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your strength to continue believing until I see Your promises fulfilled in my life in Jesus' name. Amen.


, we really do love you and we pray this will be the best year ever!
