❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Both Now and Forever The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Psalm 121:7–8, NLT The Lord is your Guardian God. He never sleeps. He’s always at your side to protect you, shielding you from every evil. He guards you when you leave home, and He guards you when you return. He guards you now, and He’ll guard you always. When you understand who has your back, you won’t go through life worried, thinking, “It’s so dangerous today. With crime so high, I’m afraid to go out. I’m afraid for my children at school.” No, you’ll say, “I have a Guardian God who is watching over me, guarding my every step.” When thoughts of fear, worry, and anxiety come, recognize that’s the enemy trying to distract you, to get you upset, to live on edge. No, go back to focusing on your ever-present God. The prophet Isaiah says, “In quietness and stillness shall be your strength.” Worry, fear, and anxiety take your strength, drain your energy, your joy, and your passion. You have to quiet your soul. Come back to a place of peace. That’s when you’ll feel strength, confidence, and joy, even in the midst of a difficult time. Prayer For Today “Father, thank You that You are my Guardian God who watches over my life and puts a hedge of protection around me. Thank You that I am not at the mercy of anyone else or a disease or any situation I may be struggling with. I declare that quietness and stillness are my strength. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 What Do You Have? “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” John 6:9, NKJV Late in the day, Jesus was teaching a great crowd in a remote place. He asked His disciples where they could buy bread to feed so many people. They said it would be too expensive and impractical, so Jesus asked them, “What do you have?” All they could find was five loaves of bread and two fish, “but what is that among so many?” That’s a logical question. But Jesus didn’t ask them to figure out how it was going to happen. He just asked them to use what they had and believe that He could take what seems too small and make something great out of it. The enemy would love for you to get stuck, thinking you’re at a deficit. “When I get more funds, more training, more breaks, then I can move forward.” But you’re not lacking anything you need to fulfill your purpose. Don’t overlook or discount what God has given you. Don’t go around with a disadvantaged mentality. Recognize the gifts and talents you have and use what you have, and He’ll take the natural and do something supernatural. Prayer For Today “Father, thank You for the gifts and talents You have given me and how You multiply them whenever I put them into Your hands. Help me to not overlook or discount what I have but rather use it for You. I believe that Your grace, favor, and mercy will abound in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 A Shout of Faith When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it. Joshua 6:20, NLT After the people of Israel had wandered in the wilderness for forty years, all that finally stood between them and the Promised Land was the city of Jericho with its huge fortified walls of stone and mortar. Nothing they had faced was as big a challenge, but they couldn’t go around it or go back. They had to conquer it to get to their destiny. God instructed them to march around the walls in silence once a day for six days, with no complaining. Then on the seventh day, on the seventh time around, they were to let out a great shout of faith. This was a battle cry of victory, declaring God’s greatness, and without that shout that activated God’s power, the walls would not have come down. There may be a Jericho in your life that’s holding you back, something you’re believing to change. It’s important to pray, to believe, and to obey, but what brings the walls down is a shout of praise, a shout of faith, when you declare the greatness of our God over the problem. “Suddenly” the impossible will turn in your favor. Prayer For Today “Father, thank You that no obstacle is so high and wide that it can withstand Your touch. Thank You that to bring about Your promises in my life, You have called me to walk by faith and not by sight. I will give a shout of faith, believing that You are about to bring walls down. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Now Is the Right Time As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, “That’s enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.” Acts 24:25, NIV The apostle Paul was standing before the governor of Judea, a man named Felix, on trial for sharing his faith. Felix was very intrigued by Paul, and as Paul spoke about what it meant to be a believer and how to live a godly life, Felix felt convicted. He knew he was not living with integrity, that he needed to stop compromising, but he didn’t want to deal with it. Even though he was frightened by the coming judgment, he sent Paul away, saying he would call Paul when he found it “convenient.” Two years later, Felix was out of office, and we never read anything more about him. We don’t know if a convenient time ever came or if he ever dealt with what God was bringing to light. Don’t put off what you know God is speaking to you about. On the other side of that obedience is a level of your destiny that you’ve never seen. No more waiting for a more convenient time. This is your time to activate the power of God in your life by taking action. Prayer For Today “Father, thank You for the ways You speak to my heart and open windows of grace for me to make changes in my life that need to be made. Help me to stop delaying to take the steps of faith that will take me higher. I will not put off dealing with these heart issues for a more convenient time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
