They lay their crowns in front of the throne. They say, ¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. That is the way you planned it.”

Experience His Love

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”
(Romans 8:38–39, KJV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God loves you so much today! He wants you to know and experience His love. When you experience something, it becomes real to you. You “own” it, so to speak. For example, let’s say you’ve never eaten chocolate before. Someone else can describe it to you. They can tell you all about the taste and texture, but until you take a bite of it, it won’t really mean anything.

In the same way, you can hear all about God’s love and how wonderful He is, but it’s not until you experience it first hand and allow His love to sink down into your heart that something happens on the inside of you. His love changes you. It builds confidence and strength in you. It empowers you to overcome temptation and to stand strong no matter what difficulty you may be facing. When you open your heart and receive His love, you will be fully persuaded that nothing can separate you from Him!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I open my heart to You today. Fill me with Your love so that I can know You more. I desire to experience You in every part of my being. I surrender every area of my life to You. Have Your way in me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Sow Righteousness

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"…he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward"
(Proverbs 11:18, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Did you know God's kingdom operates on a system of sowing and reaping? Have you heard the saying, "What goes around, comes around?" That's really a spiritual principle. What you sow, you will reap. But I love what it says in today's verse that when we sow righteousness, we'll reap a sure reward.

Sowing righteousness simply means doing the right thing in the sight of God. It's obeying the Word no matter what the circumstances may look like. It means showing kindness even when it's undeserved. It's walking in love and keeping the peace when you really want to say something different. When you sow righteousness, you'll reap a sure reward. That's because God Himself is going to pay you back. He is the One who will multiply you when you honor Him.

Today, keep doing the right thing even if the wrong thing is happening. Sow righteousness. Stay in faith; keep believing because He who promised is faithful. There's a sure reward in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for the principle of sowing and reaping. Thank You for setting up a system that blesses me as I bless others. Show me how to sow righteousness today and let me honor You in all I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
