TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
It’s easy to have a good attitude and pursue our dreams as long as
everything is going our way. That doesn’t take a lot of faith. But what
about the difficult times — when a relationship doesn’t work out, or you
get a bad health report, or a friend does you wrong? It’s easy to lose
your passion when you’re hurt. Too many people are sitting on the
sidelines of life because they’re injured. Now they’re nursing their wounds, not moving forward because of what they’ve been through.
You may have a reason to feel sorry for yourself, but you don’t have a
right. God promised He will give you beauty for those ashes. He said He
would pay you back double for the wrongs, but you have to do your part.
If you’re going to see the beauty, you have to shake off the ashes of
self-pity. You’ve got to shake off the discouragement and get back in
the game. Every person has injuries. We all have wounds, but you can’t
let a loss, a health issue, a divorce or a hurt be an excuse to sit on
the sidelines. Today, get back in the game. Know that your best days are
ahead. Know that He is working things together for your good, and He
has victory in store for your future!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for giving me strength to shake off the past and move
forward. Today I rise up in You. I choose to forgive. I choose to set
my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith in Jesus’ name!
Amen.
– Joel & Victoria Osteen
