The spiritual strength that God gives you is founded on the wonder-working triad of faith, hope and love. God has shown you how you are to behave with others by actively demonstrating these 3 virtues through His unblemised behavior toward you. If you take God at His Word, your day-to-day life should be a reflection or an acting-out of His promises to you. Your relationship with others should be an energetic, vital mirror image of the trustworthy, loving and merciful God you have come to know. Ask God this morning to help you build your life upon the principles of faith, hope and love. May God guide and keep you on the right path. Read Psalm 33.
Paul had experienced God's glorious provision. He had seen God's help in a powerful way through the church of Philippi. They had been very generous with him and he assured the church that God was going to bless them because of this. This is a wonderful promise for you to claim today. As you are generous with others, you never have to fear being short in resources for your own needs. On the contrary, you are opening up yourself to God's glorious supply. Today, rejoice and freely share with others. You will certainly receive the great provision God has reserved just for you. Memorize Philippians 4:19
Psalm 103:5 says that it is God who fills your life with good things. God's blessings are avaliable to you as you put your trust in Him and keep His commandments. His promises are everywhere in Scripture. But always remember to honor and obey Him whether there are blessings or not now. At the end of it all, He will withhold nothing from you. He is merciful and gracious - slow to anger and full of unfailing love. Sin and despair are the only obstacles between you and God's many blessings. They cloud your visions and prevent you from seeing things as they are. But God is patient with you. He will give you the grace to overcome your weakness. Now thank Him for the blessings He placed in your life! Meditate Psalm 34:8-9
Has it been a long time since you heard anyone say "Thank you" to you? You may have done much for others but no one seems to appreciate. Well, people may fail you but your heavenly Father appreciates all you have done for Him. He has put you exactly where He needs you. You are fulfilling His purposes everyday! Once you see this, you will find joy and meaning in everything you do. God notices everything you do for Him. He records and He rewards just as He punishes too. Hebrews 6:10 "He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love." If you feel unappreciated today, stop and read this: "If ... you give even a cup of cold water to a little child, you will surely be rewarded." (Matthew 10:42)
You'll come to places that seem like abrupt ends to your dreams. Every door will appear closed and you may even have to accept responsibilities that seem incompatible with the promises God has given you. Do not ever you think its all over but remember that God holds your future. He is developing your character and strengthening your faith. The purpose of your life is so important that God Himself protects it for you - you do not have to fear that it has been lost or ruined forever. So no matter how long it takes, obey and follow God without wavering. Despite the detours, He will unfailingly lead you to your purpose. Read Psalm 57.
So steep and treacherous are the paths along the walls of the Grand Canyon that those who wish to traverse them rarely set out on foot. They depend on remarkable animals with hoofs designed to hug the narrow, dusty paths and bodies proportioned for maximum strength, endurance and balance. Likewise, in the course of your life, you may encounter many mountain paths that are too difficult to attempt alone. But when you set out on those trails, you can depend on God to keep you from falling. He will provide the assistance you need. When you must follow a steep and treacherous path on your journey through life, place your trust and hope in His promises to help you reach your destination safely. Meditate Psalm 91.
Are you in a situation that you do not know how to handle and afraid you will make wrong decisions? If so, you're in a place God can speak to you. Here's a prayer for you: "Lord, You are the only wise God and I am desperately in need of You. I'm in a challenging situation and I ask for your spirit of wisdom to show me which way to go. Help me faithfully obey how You want me to go about it. Help me to know the difference between human advice and godly advice and to choose Your way. I surrender this situation to You because You've promised to direct my steps. Take my hand, light my way and help me to walk on - knowing as in Romans 8:28 that 'all things work out together for good to those who love You'. In Jesus Name, Amen."
