today and God's goodness

God is so good!

Some stuff from today’s devotionals…


Discovering God’s Will

Psalm 40:8 – I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is written within my heart.

Preparation is a major part of discovering the will of God. You want to know God’s will, and you want to know it now. But have you been willing to make the sacrificial preparations to know and obey His plan? Are you ready to follow when God makes it clear what he desires? What you do today in terms of Bible study, prayer, meditation, fellowship, worship, and other scriptural exercises prepares you to do God’s will. They sensitize your spirit, bend your heart to holiness, and equip you to hear and discern the voice of God as He speaks through the Scriptures, godly counsel, or the providential arrangement of circumstances.

If you want to know the will of God for the future, be disciplined for godliness today. When the time is right, your spiritual senses will be alert to the good and perfect will of the Father.

Prepare me, Lord, to do Your will. Sensitize my spirit to discern Your voice today through the Word, godly counsel, and the providential circumstances of my life.


Faith To Dream

2nd Corinthians 5:7 – We walk by faith, not by sight.

When God gives a promise for the future, He is responsible for opening the right door at the right time for you to accomplish the task.

The way of faith is never by sight or human reasoning; it is always by the sovereignty of God.

Is there a need in Your life that seems overwhelming? Trust God; He has His best in store for you.

O God, give me the ability to dream big. Remove all that limits my vision. Let me see beyond natural circumstances that restrict my faith.




What I am getting out of this today…

Well, I am going to get my butt into church. I do good at worshipping, praising, Bible reading, reading other good Christian books, praying, meditating…it is my fellowship with other Christians that needs work, as well as my corporate worship experience, my tithing, and my obeying God by being in church.

Maybe by being obedient in these things, God will see me as closer to being ready to be used of Him in the next step of my life.

As far as what happens in my life, and when…it is true, the doors are God’s to open, and He will open them when the time is right. All I can do is be ready.

God is so awesome. So wonderful to me.
