Day 156 Speaking the Future...

What I love about God is that He has already been where we are going.  He has already been in our future, our past, and our present.  No need to worry or try to plan it out perfectly for He is the designer. 


Look at Job 8:7 and how exciting this promise is, "Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be."  So while we humble ourselves before God He is making our future awesome.  Also something we have to remember is when we are walking in peace (not worrying, using our tongue as a weapon of negativity to our future, not crying about it, not talking to all our friends about what they think) God says, "a future awaits those who seek peace." 


When questions come to your mind about what it will look like, or how will it work out just remember that God has gone into your future and is asking for your tongue to be a key to a prosperous future. Psalm 52:2 says our tongue can plot destruction, that goes for your future or the future of the people around you. Here is a great example of the use of our tongue for the security of our future being prosperous...


Proverbs 21:23
Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity!


There it is, plain and simple. So we also guide the way our future will pan out.  God is basically warning us to be aware of the words that roll off your tongue that they don't mold your future events.  Today speak life and positive words into the unknown events of your future, and watch God come in agreement with the words He already knew you were going to say!

Day 155 Trusting Him

It's very cliche, but how easy is it to trust without seeing?  It's an art that takes patience, guts, and trials.  When we are driving we automatically(no pun intended) push on our brakes without the thoughts of it might not work today.  They work and we trust them.  God is kind of like that.  When we don't know exactly what will happen we have to trust him. Obviously it doesn't come automatically to us, but that's where faith is activated in place of our doubt.  Exchange the doubts you have about God with the faith that He is what He says He is.  Almighty, creator, comforter, healer.  

Day 154: Confessions

When Jesus committed to the cross He knew we would need His sacrifice. Not only does His death cover our sins but we are able to go to Him without shame and guilt holding us back.  See we were separated by sins and the only way we are able to come into His presence is by the blood of His son Jesus. I think it is amazing what a sacrifice he made.  Confess today, repent, return to Him because healing is so much better  than walking around with a road block all around you.  I think it feels heavy, when there are things that are hidden and that really need to be confessed to God. Of course he already knows everything, but the confession is that part that He applauds. It doesn't have to be a person or a psychiatrist or a pastor, maybe that would bring you more freedom.  God wants to hear it from you! Get it all out, you will feel much better. What is really amazing is He doesn't look or treat you any different because of your sins, He is just begging for you to get freedom from the darkness.

Day 153

He hears our deepest desires, I know that for a fact.  Specific things that I have prayed for have come to life and I was shocked.  I know I shouldn't be shocked, because he is God; he is full of surprises.  When the surprises are incredible though it just makes me want to shout it out in the streets.  I cannot contain my worship for this awesome God of mine.  Walking out in thankfulness is essential.  Don't forget to thank Him today!
