  Nothing Missing
  
  Today's Scripture
  "When you survey your possessions, nothing will be missing. You will have many children; your descendants will be as plentiful as grass!" (Job 5:24-25, NLT)
  
  In the Scripture, Job experienced great losses--his children, his business, and his health. Just when he was about to give up, a friend said, "If you look to God, He will rescue and heal you. This loss is temporary. When God brings restoration, nothing will be missing."
  
  Later, when Job stated, "I know that my Redeemer lives," he was declaring that God would finish what He started. Job's thinking shifted from "this loss is permanent" to "restoration is coming, health is coming, family is coming, victory is coming," which is what God did for Job. He not only restored what Job had lost, but God gave him twice what he had before. Just as God promised, nothing was missing.
  
  That's the way our God is. Don't judge the rest of your life by what's missing now. When God gets finished, nothing is going to be missing, large or small. Nobody will be able to tell what you went through. You're going to come out stronger, healthier, more fulfilled, blessed, and prosperous. Your time is coming.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that You are on the throne, and You are with me through every time of loss. Thank You that You can bring me out of difficulties better off than I was before they showed up. I believe that Your favor is on me and that nothing will be missing. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Mistakes Don't Define You
  
  Today's Scripture
  ...but the angel said, "Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee." (Mark 16:6--7, NLT)
  
  When Jesus was on trial before His crucifixion, Peter denied that he knew Jesus three times. Peter was so bitterly disappointed in himself, so ashamed of being a coward. Soon after that, they crucified Jesus.
  
  Peter never had the chance to tell Him he was sorry. He had to live with the guilt. But when three women found Jesus' tomb was empty, an angel told them to go tell His disciples and Peter that He was alive. The only disciple specifically pointed out was Peter.
  
  God was showing us, "I don't define you by your mistakes. I don't cancel your destiny because you've failed." And fifty days later, it was Peter who gave the inaugural message that birthed the Church.
  
  You may have made mistakes and failed, as Peter did, but you have to learn to forgive yourself. Quit remembering what God has forgiven and forgotten. His mercy is bigger than any mistake you've made. God is saying, "Get back in the game. You can still do what I called you to do."
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that when I make mistakes and fail that Your mercy still covers me. Thank You that You forgive and forget my sins the moment that I ask You. I am saying goodbye to the guilt and the shame of the past and believing You have something awesome in my future. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Keep Traveling Steadily
  
  Today's Scripture
  "Don't be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep traveling steadily along his pathway and in due season he will honor you with every blessing..." (Psalm 37:34)
  
  Most of us don't like times of waiting. We're interested in the destination, but God is interested in the journey. When we understand that He's working in us along the way, waiting and patience become a part of the process.
  
  When you stay faithful in the waiting times, when you don't get impatient and complain because it's taking so long, when you don't get upset because the door closed, when you're traveling steadily along God's pathway and honoring Him, He will give you every blessing. You won't have to make it happen in your own strength, and you won't have to manipulate people or try to force the door to open.
  
  God will give you the position, give you the spouse, give you the influence. Don't fight the wait time. You're not falling behind. God has already lined up the blessings He's going to give you. He's already put your name on things bigger and better than you've imagined. Now keep traveling steadily, keep trusting Him when you don't see anything happening
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that there is a purpose for times of waiting, whether I understand it or not. Help me to be patient, to be faithful, and to rest in the fact that it's all part of Your process. I believe that I am right where You want me, and that You have every blessing already lined up for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Out of Deep Waters
  
  Today's Scripture
  "He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me." (2 Samuel 22:17-18, NIV)
  
  We all face things that are too powerful for us to stop or overcome, but they're not too powerful for our God.
  
  You may not be able to escape the accident, beat the cancer, or overcome the bad break on your own, but you're not on your own; the Most High God is with you. The enemy is not in control of your life. He can't stop your purpose.
  
  God has the final say. He's going to draw you out of deep waters. He's going to rescue you from powerful enemies. The enemy may tell you, "You're stuck in the addiction. Just accept it. Those people who talk against you in the office are too powerful. They'll keep you back. Don't get your hopes up."
  
  God is saying, "It's no match for me. I'm about to turn things in your favor. I'm about draw you out of the waters and rescue you."
  
  Instead of dwelling on how big your enemies are, start dwelling on how big your God is. God overrules.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for Your promise to draw me out of the deep waters and rescue me from my enemies. Even when life seems to be out of control, I choose to trust in You and believe that You have the final say. I declare that You are with me, and You overrule. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Possess Your Land
  
  Today's Scripture
  So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you?" (Joshua 18:3, NIV)
  
  God had promised to give the Israelites the land of Canaan, but they had to go in and possess the Promised Land. However, instead of taking their swords out and going in, knowing that God would give them the victory, they were afraid of the giants and fortified cities. When Joshua asked them, "How long will you wait?" he was saying that God would do His part, but they had to initiate the blessing, the favor, the victory.
  
  Most of the time, God says to us, "I'll give you the healing, restore your marriage, turn your child around, if you start to believe and speak My Word, which is sharper than a two-edged sword."
  
  It's a spiritual battle. Standing in faith and declaring His promises will part Red Seas, break addictions, defeat the sickness, and open doors you never dreamed would open. To possess your land, you have to go after what God put in your heart. You can't be passive. You have to dream big, pray bold prayers, and expect His favor.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for the promise that You always lead me to triumph through Jesus. Thank You that I can take Your promises and keep my faith in agreement with You by believing and declaring that You will bring them to pass. I declare that I will not be passive. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
