Let God Arise TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered...” (Psalm 68:1, NKJV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria What are you letting arise in your life today? In other words, what are you focusing your words, energy and thoughts on? You might say, “Oh, Joel, it’s just so hard right now. I’ve lost some money.” “My health doesn’t look good.” “Somebody walked out on me.” No, you’re focusing on the wrong things. You’re letting defeat, discouragement and self-pity rise up. Why don’t you turn that around and say, “God is still in control. Somebody may have walked out on me, I may be hurting right now, but I know God is the Restorer of my soul.” “I may have lost money in the stock market, but I’m not worried. I know God is my provider. He is supplying all of my needs. He is fighting my battles.” When you start giving God glory and letting Him arise in your life, you can’t stay defeated. Your enemies will be scattered! They’ll tremble at your words of faith. Begin right now by declaring God's goodness in your life and let Him arise so that you can move forward in the victory He has for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father in heaven, I repent right now for allowing any negative, self-defeating thoughts or attitudes rise up in my life. You alone are my God, and I put my trust in You. I bless You today and choose to look for the good things You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen. — Joel & Victoria Osteen

Run Your Race

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“...let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...”

(Hebrews 12:1–2, NKJV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

It’s easy to be tempted to go through life competing with everyone around us. When we see someone who’s more talented, better looking or has more gifts, instead of running our race and being comfortable with who we are, oftentimes we feel inferior and think, “I’ve got to catch up to them.” The problem with this unhealthy competition is that it’s a never-ending cycle. There will always be someone ahead of us. But, it’s a very freeing thing when you realize, “I’m not competing with you. I don’t have to have as big a house as my neighbor to feel good about myself. I don’t have to keep up with my co-worker. I don’t have to be a certain size. No, I understand that I’m not in competition with my friend, my neighbor or my co-worker. Instead, I’m going to be the best me that I can possibly be.” Friend, that’s an attitude God can work with. When you focus on being who God made you to be, that’s when you’ll rise up higher and position yourself for every spiritual blessing He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, I humbly come to You giving You all that I am. I choose to keep my eyes on You and allow You to work in my heart and mind. I declare that I am free from competition today in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Fresh Start

"Look, I am making everything new!"(Revelation 21:5)

Forgive those who hurt you
Holding onto the hurts and pains caused by others will limit the new thing God wants to do in your life. Forgive the person who hurt you and move forward. Trust that God will make it up to you.

Refuse to look back
Whether something happened twenty years ago or twenty minutes ago, learn to let it go and move on. If you will let go of the old, God has promised He will bring you a new beginning.

Expect God's best today
Expectation is a catalyst for miracles. Declare God's favor over your life and expect to see His goodness today and every day. By faith, declare "I'm expecting God to do something amazing today."

Stay in Faith and move forward
Don't let circumstances, naysayers or the enemy steal your joy. Stay in faith, knowing that God's promises are "yes and amen" in your life. Today is a new day! Believe that now and enjoy all that God has in store for you.

Hope for tomorrow
When you have hope, obstacles become opportunities and setbacks become comebacks. A fresh start in God begins with hope from His word. Get into the word, find a good bible based church and allow the hope of Christ Jesus to propel you into your destiny.

Your fresh start can be today!
