Father God, today I pray against the tendency for us to become so accustomed to the blessings in our lives that we take them for granted. Lord, help us remember what’s truly important is experiencing and appreciating what we have every day.
Stay at your post.
Stay faithful.
Don’t give up.
Don’t throw in the towel.
Don’t cave.
Stand firm.
Live holy.
Have integrity.
Pursue justice.
Love mercy.
Trade pride for humility.
Pray fervently.
REMAIN.
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me w/ gladness, to the end that my tongue & my ❤️ & everything glorious within me may sing praises to You & not be silent. Oh Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Psalm 30:11&12
Temptation is not sin, it is what you do with that temptation that becomes sin!
-Dr. John Gray
What a great reminder. We can be in this world, but it is the daily choices we make that determine our true environment!
God is saying, “Look up.” There’s healing when you look up. There’s freedom when you look up. There’s victory when you look up. There’s salvation when you look up.
The One that matters has His eyes on you. The One that controls the universe, the One that turns people’s hearts, He’s watching over you, He’s working out His plan for your life.
The Bible doesn’t say to wait until everything is perfect before you step out in faith. No, it says to wait on God and follow His leading, even when circumstances don’t always make sense.
Sometimes we’re waiting for God to change the circumstances, but the truth is, God is waiting on you. Shake off what hasn’t worked out. This day is a gift.
