Live Victoriously

I had a wonderful conversation with a dear old friend and the one thing that resonated for me was the resilience within each of us to cling to the promises of the Word of God and continue on. Life for many of us has not been a cake walk at all. The blessing, we are still here, unchanged by our circumstances except for a greater understanding of the favor shown us through it all. It is easy to sink in the quicksand of all that is hurled at you, but if you do all you can to stand firm holding on to the knowledge of our father within you he will bring you through, no matter what, all he needs you to do is move in faith.

Today’s Scripture Message: Micah 4:9-10 (King James Version)

9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king I thee? Is thy counselor perished? For pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 10Be in pain and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail for now shalt thou go forth out of the city and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

Prayer for the day:

Father, despite all that is exploding around me, I remain focused on you. I will move fearlessly in faith towards that what you will me to do. I will not change my heart nor remove your promises I know in faith victory is mine, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thought for the day:

“Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.”

Louis L’Amour

Goal for the Day:

Pace yourself. A wall is built brick by brick. Work on placing that 1st brick and keep coming back until it’s complete.

Word for Today from Vandy

Vandy Harris

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed"
(Psalm 20:4, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD

The Bible tells us that true faith has actions with it. A lot of times people say they believe one way, but with their actions, they're doing just the opposite. We have to understand that faith will work in either direction. I know some people make plans to get the flu. They talk about it and say, "Every year I get the flu." Or, "It's going to be bad this year." They expect it and a few months later, they've got it. Their faith worked. They believed, they expected, they made plans, and they got it. But instead of making plans for the worst, why don't you make plans for the best. Why don't you make plans for the Word of God to come to pass in your life? The scripture says, "No weapon formed against us is going to prosper." "A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand; but it will not come near my dwelling."

Today, make plans according to the Word of God. As you make right plans, you'll see right things come to pass in your life. You'll rise up higher and enjoy the blessings God has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father God, I confess that I need You today. Search my heart. Help me see any area where my faith is working in the wrong direction. I desire to make plans in agreement with You so that I can partake of the good things You have in store for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Pray Until Something Happens!!!

Just A Thought

by Kenya Anderson

Every morning you can set the tone for your day? When you put God first and decide to go out with a grateful attitude and a positive frame of mind, you'll feel better and draw in the good things of God. You are paving the way for success and victory. If you get up thinking, “life sucks. Nothing good ever happens to me,...” then you are going to attract defeat, failure, and mediocrity.-JO
