  Redeemed
  
  Today's Scripture
  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole." (Galatians 3:13, NIV)
  
  The curse that Christ has already redeemed us from is behind any kind of defeat---sin, mistakes, wrong choices, fear, worry, sickness, or unhealthy relationships. God has loosed our chains of addictions, defeats, and bad attitudes. But if you don't realize you have been set free and take advantage of your freedom, if you don't get your thoughts, your words, and your attitudes going in the right direction, it won't do you any good.
  
  Every enemy in your life has already been defeated---enemies of worry, depression, addiction, financial lack---and you have power over all of them. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is inside you. There is nothing in your life that you cannot overcome. But you may be sitting back waiting for God to do something supernatural in your life when God is waiting for you. You have to believe that the price has been paid and you have the power to break free from things that have held you back in the past. Put your foot down and take hold of everything Christ has done for you.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that You have made me Your child and that I am no longer under the curse of the law. Thank You that You redeemed me and You're taking me forward into full freedom. I believe that every enemy in my life has been defeated and that the obstacles in my way will be overcome in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Right on the Verge
  
  Today's Scripture
  When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." "Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." (John 5:8, NLT)
  
  When Jesus was at the wedding in Galilee, He'd never done a miracle, never healed a person, never walked on water, never multiplied food. When His mother told Him that the wine for the festivities had run out, she understood His response that His time had not yet come. But she must have sensed that He was on the verge of His right time when He would step into His ministry, when a new level of favor, power, and miracles was released. Just a short time later, His hour came, and He performed His first miracle and went on to impact the world.
  
  Your time may not have come yet for your healing or your promotion, but it's closer than you think. There's about to be a shift from struggling to ease, from barely making it to abundance, from fighting an addiction to freedom, from dealing with a sickness to health and wholeness, from nothing working out to things falling into place, with the right people, the contracts, the resources. You're on the verge of stepping into a new season of favor.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that You are enthroned forever and You have set the time for when my hour comes to step into new levels of Your favor and power. Thank You that You will shift things and help me to do what I couldn't do. I believe that I am on the verge of stepping into a new season of blessing in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Always Rejoice
  
  Today's Scripture
  "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4, NIV)
  
  When the apostle Paul wrote today's Scripture, he had already been held in prison on false charges for several years. He'd also survived a shipwreck on the way to prison in Rome. You would think that he would be discouraged, surely he'd be complaining. But he was telling us that even when it doesn't go your way, just keep giving God praise, keep thanking God that He's working, and keep being grateful when you could be complaining. Keep thinking victory when you're seeing defeat.
  
  Happiness is not dependent on what's going on around you; it's dependent on what's going on inside you. What kind of thoughts are you thinking? "I'll never get well. I can't break this addiction. I can't be happy after this loss."
  
  You're thinking yourself discouraged. If you're going to live happier, you have to tune that out. You can't take in negative all the time and stay in faith. Paul added, "Think on things that are of a good report, things that are positive, hopeful." Our thinking the right thoughts is the key to our happiness.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that no matter what my circumstances are that I don't have to live discouraged and frustrated and unhappy. Thank You that You have made this day and I can rejoice and be glad in it. I will choose joy because I know You are in control in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Don't Waste Another Day
  
  Today's Scripture
  "Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away." (Psalm 90:10, NLT)
  
  When we come to the end of our days, God is going to ask us, "What did you do with the time I gave you? Did you develop your gifts and talents? Did you accomplish your assignment? How did you spend your life?"
  
  It's not going to work to make excuses for why we did not redeem the time. "God, my friend got me off course." "God, I lived bitter because somebody did me wrong." "God, I was negative because my company let me go."
  
  You have a responsibility to live your life well. Make the decision that you're going to be an on-purpose person. Set your goals and be disciplined to stick with it. Prune off the relationships that are not adding to your life. And don't go to bed with any kind of defeat, bitterness, or negativity still in your mind.
  
  Every day is a gift. Make sure you're investing your time and not wasting it. If you do this, the seeds of greatness inside you are going to take root and flourish. You're going to see God's abundant favor.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for giving me the gift of this day to live to the full. Thank You that You are calling me to invest my life in what's best for me, to redeem the time, and to run my life with purpose. Help me to make the most of every opportunity in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Proving Seasons
  
  Today's Scripture
  "Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah." (2 Samuel 2:4, NKJV)
  
  David was seventeen years old when the prophet Samuel anointed him to become the next king of Israel. What's interesting is that David went back to work in the shepherds' fields that day and did not become king until thirteen years later.
  
  When God gives you a promise, there will always be a waiting period. David was anointed, but he wasn't appointed. He had to go through a season of proving, a season of testing. It involved caring for sheep, being discounted by his father, ridiculed by his brothers, and chased through the desert by King Saul who was bent on killing him.
  
  As with David, you may know you're anointed. God has put promises in your heart, but you're not appointed yet. You're in the proving season. If you keep passing the tests, not getting bitter because people did you wrong, not giving up because it's taking a long time, not slacking off because things are not improving, you're going to come into the fullness of what God has in store. Be faithful. Be patient.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that You are always working in my life to shape my character and prepare me for the next level You have for me. Thank You for the seasons of testing where You prove your faithfulness. I believe You are taking me higher to be used for Your glory in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Rivers in the Desert
  
  Today's Scripture
  "Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:19, NKJV)
  
  The Israelites were not only being held in captivity in Babylon, but all around them was the desert. Even if they escaped, they couldn't survive the journey home. But God explained the new thing He was doing for them. He was going to make a road to get them through and make rivers in the desert to give them drink. He was saying, "You can't figure this new thing out because it's not going to be natural; it's going to be supernatural."
  
  God knows how to bring you out of captivity---struggle, lack, addictions, bad breaks. It's going to be supernatural. You're going to see abundance where there had been barrenness. Don't limit this new thing to what you think can happen.
  
  "If I can just learn to live with this sickness�" No, God is going to free you from the sickness. "If I can just pay my bills�" God's going to bring you into overflow. You may not see how. That's okay. It's not up to you. It's up to the God who makes rivers in the desert.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that You are not limited by deserts, or for the right conditions to be in place, in order for You to do what You want. Thank You that You're always doing new things for me. I want Your stream of grace to flow unhindered in and through my life in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Think Yourself Happy
  
  Today's Scripture
  "I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews." (Acts 26:2, NKJV)
  
  After being in prison for two years on false charges, the apostle Paul was brought before King Agrippa for his trial. The first thing Paul said was, "King Agrippa, I think myself happy."
  
  You would think he would see himself as a victim, be bitter and angry. But he shows us a secret of how to overcome all that. He said, "I think myself happy." He was saying, "I consider myself fortunate to stand before you even though my accusers want me to be put to death."
  
  You can think yourself depressed, you can think yourself into a bad mood, and you can think yourself a victim. Or you can do as Paul did and say, "Yes, I've had a lot of difficulties. I could be sour and live discouraged, but I'm going to think myself happy."
  
  As long as you're thinking about your hurts, what you didn't get, how you were left out, you're going to be discouraged. Don't replay the loss, the disappointment, or the failure. Start thinking faith-filled, positive, hopeful, uplifting thoughts. That's what you're going to draw in.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that I can set my mind to be happy today and to be my best because You made this day. Thank You that I can keep it set when I meet the challenges of this day that want to push me toward being a victim. I am going to keep thinking faith-filled thoughts that strengthen me within in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Win the War
  
  Today's Scripture
  "But if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live." (Romans 8:13, NIV)
  
  Most people are ruled by the flesh, the carnal nature that basically tells them to live and do whatever they feel rather than what the Holy Spirit says. You're letting the flesh win the war within if you give in to temptations, laziness, and compromise. The better option is to walk and live in accordance with the Spirit. That means that you do the right thing when it's hard, you bite your tongue when someone's rude, you stay faithful in your relationships when someone is trying to lure you away.
  
  What's limiting some people is not that they're not talented or don't have God's favor; it's that they keep obeying the flesh. The next time you're tempted to be jealous, to find fault, to say something critical, or to let a friend cause you to compromise, tell your flesh, "No, I'm not going there." Quit letting the flesh push you around. You have to take charge of your life. Don't keep giving in to the same things that you know are holding you back from life in the Spirit.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that one of the fruits of Your Spirit working in me is the power of self-control. Thank You that I don't have to be a slave to feelings that have tried to control me for years. I believe that as I say no to the dictates of the flesh, I will reach my highest potential in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Pass the Test
  
  Today's Scripture
  Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey Him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go." (Exodus 5:2, NIV)
  
  When the Israelites were in slavery, God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the people go. Moses obeyed, but Pharaoh said no. What do you do when you do what God tells you, but it doesn't work? Was Moses going to get discouraged and give up because it wasn't happening the way he thought? It was a time of testing. He had to go back and tell Pharaoh again and again before freedom was finally granted.
  
  What do you do when you pray, you believe, you're doing the right thing again and again, but nothing's improving---the people aren't changing, the medical report isn't improving, or your business isn't getting better. This is when you have to dig deep and say, "God, I'm not moved by what's not changing. I'm not going to wilt, start complaining, and give up on my dreams. I'm going to keep doing the right thing."
  
  When you pass the test like that, instead of those difficulties stopping you, they will lift you; instead of defeating you, they'll promote you.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that my faith and trust are anchored to You and Your mighty power at work in my life. Thank You that I don't have to be moved by the tests and troubles I face because I know that You are fighting my battles. I declare that my hope is in You in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  All Things
  
  Today's Scripture
  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13, NKJV)
  
  The apostle Paul says that we have the power of Jesus Christ to strengthen us to do all things. It's a power so strong that death couldn't keep Jesus in the grave. It's a power so strong that a teenage shepherd boy defeated a giant. It's a power so strong that prison doors opened for Paul and Silas. It's a power so strong that the Red Sea parted before the people of Israel. That's the power that's in you.
  
  Now here's the key: How you see yourself will determine whether you experience this great power. If you think weak thoughts, such as, "This problem's too big. I can't accomplish my dreams. I'll never break this addiction," then you are canceling out that power.
  
  You have to get in agreement with God. You are a son or daughter of the Most High God. You are strong, confident, anointed, and favored. You can set new standards for your family. You can defeat the cancer. You can break the addiction and put an end to the dysfunction. It may have stopped some people, but not you.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for designing me to receive Your strength for every pressure that I will ever face. Thank You that You have already equipped me with power to overcome opposition and outlast adversity. I declare that I am strong and can do all things through Christ in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Grateful for the Partial
  
  Today's Scripture
  But Jesus said, "You feed them." "But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered. (Luke 9:13, NLT)
  
  When Jesus needed food to feed five thousand men plus their families, the disciples brought him five loaves of bread and two fish and said, "This is all we have." Jesus could have looked up and said, "Father, are You kidding? Is this what You expect Me to use to feed this multitude? "
  
  Instead, He saw it from a different perspective. His attitude was: "Father, I could have nothing, but thank You that You blessed Me with this small amount." He saw it as a partial victory. Because He was grateful for the partial, God released more.
  
  Are you complaining about the partial in your life, or are you celebrating the partial? Are you so focused on your flaws and how far you have to go that you're taking for granted the small victories along the way? Find the good in right now, in the progress you're making, and thank God for the improvement. It may be small but that's okay. When you celebrate partial victories, that's what gives you the strength and encouragement to keep going on the way to total victory.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and love and mercy in my life. Thank You for the partial victories that You have given me, and I know that You are working to bring them to completion. Help me continue to be grateful and see every promise fulfilled in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  The God Who Marvels
  
  Today's Scripture
  "And He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief." (Mark 6:5-6, ESV)
  
  In Mark 6, Jesus was in His hometown of Nazareth, teaching in the synagogue. They had heard about the miracles He was doing, and they were amazed by the wisdom of His teaching. But they didn't believe. They thought they knew who He was. They knew His family. He had worked among them as a carpenter. They thought there couldn't be anything special about Him.
  
  Because of their unbelief, He couldn't do any mighty miracles there even though He had all His power. He had gone to different cities, doing amazing things. You would think in His hometown, they would believe more than anywhere else, but it was just the opposite. Jesus marveled at their unbelief.
  
  When God looks at you, what does He marvel at? Is there anything you're believing for that will cause God to marvel? Is there anything you're dreaming about that's out of your reach, that you can't accomplish, that's too big, too much, too hard?
  
  It's time to awaken your faith and cause God to be amazed. Dare to believe bigger, dare to ask, dare to dream.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for Your Beloved Son who is everything He says He is and is still doing mighty works today. Thank You that I can put unbelief far from me and awaken my faith to believe and ask bigger than I ever have. I want my faith to amaze You in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Solid Ground
  
  Today's Scripture
  "He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God." (Psalm 40:2�3, NLT)
  
  A difficult, dark time in your life doesn't have to keep you from your destiny. You may be in the pit as David said he had been, but you need to get ready, because you're coming out. That depression is not the end, the sickness is not the end, and the addiction is not the final chapter. The person who walked out on you is not the end. If they left you, you didn't need them. If they walked out, they were not a part of your destiny. God has somebody better. He wants to put a new song in your heart.
  
  Don't get comfortable in the pit. Don't let self-pity and discouragement steal your passion. You have to get your fire back. Every blessing that God promised you He still has every intention of bringing to pass. People can't stop it, bad breaks can't stop it, and mistakes you've made don't have to stop it. Dreams coming to pass are in your future, with increase, abundance, promotion, health, and restoration. That's what's up in front of you. Solid ground is how your story ends.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that the pits I find myself in are only temporary stops along the way to my final destination. Thank You that I can sing a new song of praise because You lift me out of whatever holds me back. I believe that You'll get me to where I'm supposed to be in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  The Coming Harvest
  
  Today's Scripture
  "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11, NIV)
  
  Friend, being disciplined is not easy. It's difficult to walk away when someone is rude, to not give in to a temptation, or to get up early to excel at work. Your flesh wants to be comfortable. Your flesh wants the easy way out, but you can't be comfortable all the time and reach your destiny.
  
  If you do the hard thing now, later on you'll see blessings and favor that you've never seen. But the flesh always wants instant gratification. "If I tell this person off right now, it will feel so good. Even though I can't afford this item, I want it now."
  
  But it's important to think about later on. We should be growing, being more mature than we were five years ago. If I'm still dealing with my temper the same way as years ago, still getting offended, upset, and jealous, I'm letting the flesh dictate my life.
  
  To be disciplined can save your marriage, take you to a new level in your career, break mediocrity, and launch you into abundance.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that You are working in me and giving me the desire to obey You. Thank You that whether I feel like it or not, I have the power to overcome and be disciplined to do the right thing. I believe that a harvest of righteousness is coming as I stay true to You in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  No Condemnation
  
  Today's Scripture
  "For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth---the one who accuses them before our God day and night." (Revelation 12:10, NLT)
  
  A lot of people are down on themselves because of things they've done wrong. They're so focused on their past that it poisons their future.
  
  We have all sinned and made mistakes, but don't let guilt stunt your growth. Come out from under that condemnation. Quit thinking about all the things you've done wrong, living in regrets. When you live guilty, you're in agreement with the enemy, the accuser. He'd love for you to go through life feeling wrong about yourself. He's trying to stunt your growth. He'll do his best to keep you in condemnation. He knows your potential. He knows you were created to soar, which is why he works overtime trying to make you feel guilty, whispering, "You don't measure up. You failed again. You'll never be free."
  
  There's always some reason to be down on yourself. You have to declare, "No, thanks. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I'm forgiven. I'm redeemed. My past is over, my present is secure, and my future is bright."
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that I am forgiven and redeemed by the blood of Your Son. Thank You that the price for my sins has been paid once and for all. I receive Your love and forgiveness and refuse to live under guilt and condemnation in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Mind-Boggling
  
  Today's Scripture
  "The LORD brought his people safely out from Egypt, loaded with silver and gold." (Psalm 105:37, NLT)
  
  God told Abraham that for four hundred years his descendants would be enslaved, but afterward they would come out with great abundance (Gen. 15:13-14), which is exactly what happened. As slaves, they had no money, no resources, and nothing looked as though they would leave loaded with silver and gold. But on their way out, God caused them to have favor with their oppressors who gave them their valuables. God promised this many generations before, but it didn't make sense in that moment.
  
  We can only see a small part of God's plan. He's looking back four hundred years, and He's looking ahead four hundred years. He has some things in your future that are going to boggle your mind. He knows how to provide you with what seems impossible. He knows how to turn your child around, how to restore your health, how to cause people to favor you, how to open doors you couldn't open. He's been working for generations, getting you ready for this moment of favor and increase. It's the hand of God doing things you never saw coming.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for how Your strong hand is working out Your plan for my life. Thank You for the open doors, the promotion, the healing, and good breaks that You've already put in place to come my way. I believe that for generations You have been lovingly maneuvering things in my favor in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  Rule Your Feelings
  
  Today's Scripture
  "Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city." (Proverbs 16:32, ESV)
  
  God created us as emotional beings. At times, we may feel joy, excitement, or passion. At other times, we may feel sadness, sorrow, or discouragement. Feelings come to us all, but feelings are not facts. You wake up in the morning feeling gloomy, but then you get a cup of coffee and feel great.
  
  Feelings can change on a dime. The mistake we make is to let feelings determine our mood. We feel the blahs, then go around discouraged. We feel offended by someone and go around upset. We have a bad break and feel self-pity, then wonder why we don't enjoy life. It's because we're being ruled by our feelings.
  
  You can't stop negative feelings from coming, but you have a choice to not let those feelings dictate your mood. You can rule over those feelings and decide what kind of mood you're going to be in. You can choose to say, "Feelings, you are not my boss. You are not going to control my life." Get your mind filled with the right thoughts, and the feelings will eventually follow your thoughts.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You that I have the power to remain full of joy and stay in peace when circumstances and people try to take them from me. Thank You that You made this day, and I'm not going to live sour and defeated. I've made up my mind I'm going to rule over my moods in Jesus' Name, Amen."

  He Brings Out Greatness
  
  Today's Scripture
  "As for Ishmael.... I will make him extremely fruitful and multiply his descendants.... I will make him a great nation." (Genesis 17:20, NLT)
  
  In Genesis 21, Hagar and her son, Ishmael, had been kicked out of the household of Abraham and Sarah and were on their own in the desert. As a slave, Hagar had obeyed Sarah's orders and had her son with Abraham. But Ishmael was not the promised child, and his presence brought all kinds of dysfunction into the household. Hagar didn't do anything wrong, and Ishmael didn't choose his parents, but their whole world fell apart. Just when Hagar didn't know how they were going to survive, God said, "Hagar, I'm going to take care of you, and I'm going to make Ishmael a great nation."
  
  God is so merciful. Out of a great mess, He brought greatness.
  
  You may be in a difficult situation today that was caused by somebody else. It's not fair, and it's put you at a disadvantage. God is saying, "I'm not going to let other people's poor choices ruin your life."
  
  God has you covered with mercy. He's going to bring greatness out of that mess. You will still fulfill your destiny and become everything God created you to be.
  
  A Prayer for Today
  "Father, thank You for being the amazing God who can take messes and mistakes and bring greatness out of them. Thank You that You don't let other people's wrongs ruin my life. I believe that You are working all things together for my good in Jesus' Name, Amen."
