God Can Lift You Up

Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. —1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV

Do you feel buried under the cares of life today? Have you been wounded by past failures or people’s unkind words?

The good news is that God can lift you up and help you overcome whatever difficult circumstances you may be going through. But Radical Humility is needed to unleash this kind of favor: “Be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble’” (1 Peter 5:5).

Notice the vivid contrast: God resists—fights, confronts, and disregards—those who are proud and have an exaggerated view of their own importance. But He grants His grace and supernatural favor to those who humbly acknowledge their dependence on Him. So remember: He’s God, and you’re not!

When Heaven Touched Earth

May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace. —Numbers 6:26 NLT

The shepherds heard the angelic choir sing a powerful song of praise: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests” (Luke 2:13-14 NIV).

It was as if a doorway suddenly opened into the heavenly realm. Up until this time, the shepherds seem to have had a pretty drab and earthbound existence. But now “the highest heaven” had come down and touched the earth.

However, for many people, life was unchanged the night Christ was born. They didn’t hear the angelic declaration or see any special star to signal the arrival of the newborn King.

The key was God’s favor. The angels weren’t proclaiming worldwide peace, but rather “peace to those on whom his favor rests” or “with whom God is pleased” (NLT). Out of millions of people on earth, the shepherds had been blessed by life-changing grace and favor from God.

There is no greater need today than to support Israel with our daily prayers. Israel is under attack and is threatened with total annihilation. But we believe in the power of prayer!

“Lord, the beautiful city of Jerusalem is under attack today from every side. Defend Your Chosen People and their capital from political, military and economical threats and give victory to those who fight the evil forces arrayed against Jerusalem.”

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalm 48:2

Don't Grow Weary of Waiting

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
—Psalm 118:24 NLT

On what seemed like an ordinary night, the shepherds were awakened by quite an extraordinary message: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2:11 NIV).

Hundreds of years before, God’s people had been promised that one day their Savior and Messiah would come. They waited and waited until many had given up hope. Could it be that the angel’s message was true? After waiting so long, could today be the day when the prophecies would be fulfilled, and the Savior would come?

There is a powerful lesson here for each of us. God has made many wonderful promises to us in His Word, yet sometimes we become weary while waiting for our breakthroughs. At such times, we must remember the shepherds. Little did they know that today would be the day when everything changed, and light pierced the darkness with hope and favor.

Are You Ready?

A huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up.
—1 Corinthians 16:9 MSG

If God presented you with an unexpected opportunity today, would you be prepared to make the most of it? Esther was. Her life began to take an unexpected turn when Persia’s King Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes) got upset with his beautiful queen, Vashti, and banished her from his presence.

The king’s advisors decided Ahasuerus needed something to take his mind off Vashti and a decree was issued: “Let beautiful young virgins be sought out for the king” (Esther 2:2 ESV).

Just as a decree was sent out from King Ahasuerus in search of someone like Esther, King Jesus is searching for someone like you today! Can you hear His call? Are you spiritually fit and ready to respond?

Take a few moments to thank the Lord for the unexpected opportunities He is preparing for you. Then listen—really listen—for any instructions He has for you to obey on the road to your next assignment!

“Lord of Glory, as evil hearts devise wickedness against Your Holy City, I pray that You will cause their knees to bow before You. In the place where You have set Your Name, bring peace around Your throne. Even so come and bring peace to this earth.”

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. Jeremiah 3:17

The Source of Forgiveness

Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.
—Matthew 5:48 MSG

Forgiveness is something talked about much more often than it is practiced. It takes courage to exercise Radical Forgiveness when someone has hurt you deeply. But doing so will bring a new dimension into your life. It will free you to receive greater abundance and be healing both physically and emotionally.

Although great forgiveness was on full display at the cross, Jesus knew that the Father had been merciful and loving all along. God described Himself to Moses like this: “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin” (Exodus 34:6-7 NIV).

Pause to reflect on these words. Is this how you see the Lord or has your view of Him been twisted by unscriptural religious traditions? Take time to thank Him for His mercy and forgiveness—then extend that forgiveness to others.

“Good News”

I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes. —Romans 1:16 NLT

It had been just an ordinary day for the shepherds watching over their flocks near Bethlehem. But suddenly they received a message that would change their lives forever.

“An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people’” (Luke 2:9-10 NIV).

The silent, pitch-black night was suddenly interrupted by brilliant light and a loud angelic proclamation. The frightened shepherds were assured by the angel that his message was one of “good news that will cause great joy.”

Even if you’re going through a dark night, when God has seemed silent, everything can change in a moment of time. The breakthrough may not be as dramatic as the shepherds experienced, but the message will be the same: good news and great joy!

“Lord God of Israel, Elohim, El Shaddai…we beseech you to keep watch over this Holy City. You have named it the Holy City of God where soon it shall be the place where Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ will establish His earthly throne and rule and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords over all the earth. Preserve and protect Your Chosen People who dwell there. Let those who curse Your name be brought down. Raise up all who faithfully call upon Your name for deliverance, health and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name.”

On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves… I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah… Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.’ Zechariah 12:3-5 (NIV)

When Miracles Happen

He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known. —Psalm 106:8 NKJV

Sometimes God does His greatest miracles during our most extreme times of testing. Even as Pharaoh’s heart was hardening against the Israelites, the Lord told them, “I will…multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 7:3 NKJV).

God’s miracles in our life are a sign of His love and favor. He is a powerful, supernatural God, not limited by our human strength and ingenuity.

But God also performs signs and wonders to get the attention of the unbelieving world: “The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them” (Exodus 7:5 NKJV).

What kind of miracle do you need in your life today? When God gives you a breakthrough in your family, your finances, your health, or your peace of mind, make sure to give Him the glory.
