Keep doing the right thing. Don't take matters into your own hands. Let God be your vindicator, and in His time, the enemies you see today you will see no more. What was meant for your harm will be turned to your advantage. ------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | Today's Scripture | | When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God… | | (Deuteronomy 8:10–11, NIV) | | | | | | | | Don't Lose the Awe | | In Deuteronomy 8, after promising the Israelites that He was bringing them into the Promised Land, a land filled with abundance, favor, and blessing, God gave them a warning that they not forget He was the source. God was saying, "When you get that promotion, when your health turns around, when you have that house you asked Me for, don't ever forget that it was My goodness. Always take time to thank Me for what I've done."
In some area of our life, we're all in the Promised Land. God has done something amazing. We know we have His favor. The problem with forgetting that it came from Him is that God won't share His glory. If you don't stay grateful, if you don't recognize His goodness, the same God who opened the door can close the door. A lack of gratitude is what causes blessings to not last. Every morning when you wake up, the first thing you should say is, "Lord, thank You for Your goodness." | | | | | | | A Prayer for Today | | "Father, thank You that Your hand has been upon my life in so many ways. Thank You for the countless things You have made happen for my good that I could never make happen. I stand in awe of Your goodness to me, and I will not forget it. In Jesus' Name, Amen." | | | | | | | | | | YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK | | You are Victorious! This book will help you see that the spirit of God within you is stronger than any obstacle you will ever face. God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. He is making a way where there seems to be no way. | | OUR THANKS FOR A GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT | | | YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK | | You are Victorious!
