TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Too often, when something doesn’t go the way we expect, we make the
mistake of telling ourselves, “It’s not fair. It’s not right. When that
changes, when it improves, then I’ll have a better attitude.” No, you’ve
got to make the first move. You do your part and God will do His part.
Quit worrying about God changing another person, and allow God to change
you first.
Is there something
you’re letting overwhelm you? Maybe you think it’s too much. Why don’t
you get up every morning and make this simple declaration, “God, I want
to thank You that I can handle anything that comes my way today. I can
handle a difficult boss. I can handle getting stuck in traffic. I can
handle my plans not working out. Lord, thank You that I’ll have a good
attitude wherever I am.”
Decide ahead of time that you are
going to stay in an attitude of faith and expectancy. Choose to clothe
yourself with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Choose
God’s ways and let Him order your steps all the days of your life.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I clothe myself with peace. I clothe myself with mercy
and patience. I choose to walk in Your ways so that I can live as an
example of Your love everywhere I go in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
