(Psalm 90:15–16, TLB) Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. Let us see your miracles again; let our children see glorious things. Psalm 90 is a prayer of Moses. Perhaps you can identify with his request in today’s Scripture. He was saying, “God, I’m having a tough time. I’ve had some bad breaks, but I’m asking for Your restored blessing.” When you f...

(Numbers 24:10, NIV) Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, “I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times.” King Balak of the Moabites offered a prophet named Balaam a lot of money to put a curse upon the Israelites. But God told Balaam, “What I have blessed, you cannot curse.” When Balak continued to press Balaam,...

(Matthew 20:31–32, NLT) “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?”   It seemed obvious what the blind men needed. Why did Jesus ask them? Because He wanted to see what they were believing. They could’ve said, “Jesus, we just need cash for some food.” I...

(Philippians 4:19, ESV) And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Sometimes religion can make you feel like it’s wrong to be blessed and have resources, but David says, “God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” It brings a smile to God’s face to make things happen that amaze you, to increase you in ways that you’ve never imagined. It...

(Joshua 24:12–13, NIV) “I sent the hornet ahead of you, which drove them out before you—also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow. So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build.” The Israelites were up against several nations that were much bigger, stronger, and trained for war. They didn’t stand a chance on their own. So did God send i...

(Isaiah 42:9–10, ESV) “Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare…Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth.” In today’s Scripture, God is saying that the things you have been struggling with are coming to an end—the disappointment, the hurt, the bad habits. He’s about to put a stop to it and do a new thing. But if you’re going to see the negative...

(James 1:19, NIV) My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. When somebody gets on your nerves and you feel annoyed, you can’t just get angry and say everything you feel. You need to step back, take a deep breath, and think about what you’re going to say. Don’t speak out of your emotions and let your tongue run wild....

(Numbers 12:1–2, MSG) Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses behind his back because of his Cushite wife…They said, “Is it only through Moses that GOD speaks? Doesn’t he also speak through us?” GOD overheard their talk. Moses’ sister and brother, Miriam and Aaron, began to talk against Moses because he married a woman from a different nationality. They were trying to make him look bad and questioni...

(Genesis 22:14, KJV) And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. You may have a situation that you’ve been praying about for a long time. Maybe it’s to see your family restored, to lose weight, to get out of debt, or to save your business. But it doesn’t look like it’s ever going to change, and you get discouraged a...

(Galatians 1:10, NIV) Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. If somebody did you wrong, rather than internalize it and wonder if there is something wrong with you, have you ever thought that they hurt you because they were messed up? Maybe they felt so badly about...

(Luke 5:5, NKJV) But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” Peter was an experienced fisherman and had spent all night fishing and caught nothing when Jesus told him to go out into the deep and drop the nets. It seemed illogical because in the daylight, the fish would go deeper than the nets. Peter d...

(Revelation 21:4, ESV) “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” “All our infirmities, whatever they are, are just opportunities for God to display his gracious work in us.” C.H. Spurgeon Today’s Scripture says that one day, there will be no more tragedies, sickn...

(Mark 4:40, NLT) Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith? In Mark 4, Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s go to the other side of the lake,” but along the way they were caught in a furious night storm. The winds were so strong that the disciples thought the boat was going to capsize, so they woke Jesus up. He rebuked the storm, and everything calmed down. When we’re in a...

(Isaiah 14:27, NKJV) For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back? Turn it back .... Isaiah saw the hand of God stretched out in judgment against Assyria and the other nations of his time, and knew there was no power in heaven or earth that could turn it back. When God purposes to do something, His will shall be accomplished, regar...

(Acts 8:26, NIV) Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”   Philip was having great success preaching the gospel in Samaria. It must not have made sense when an angel told him to go out to that desert road, but there was a man, the treasurer of Ethiopia, traveling by there in a chariot who was reading the book of Isaiah....

(Joshua 6:5, ESV) “And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat.” Jericho was the last city that stood between the Israelites and the Promised Land. Its towering city walls were so wide that chariots rode on top of them. It looked impossible. God tol...

(Psalm 8:5, NIV) You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. When God breathed His life into you, He put a crown of glory and honor on your head. This crown represents your authority. It represents God’s blessing and favor on your life. It’s a reminder that you are royalty. When you’re wearing your crown, you’ll have a sense of entitlement, thinking, I...

(Matthew 5:16, TLB) “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.”   There are times when God will allow us to go through a painful season so He can birth something new on the inside. If you go through something you don’t understand, God allowed this to happen because He trusts you. He knows He can count on you...

(Exodus 8:22–23, NIV) “But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen, where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the LORD, am in this land. I will make a distinction between my people and your people.”   When God sent plague after plague on Pharaoh and his people in order to free the Israelites from slavery, what’s interesting is that th...

(Isaiah 54:4, NIV) “You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach…”   In the Scripture, Isaac named his son Jacob, which means “trickster, deceiver, swindler,” and he became exactly that. Later in life, Jacob decided to confront his shameful past and change his life. One night the angel of the Lord told Jacob, “God is giving you a new name. You will be called Israel,” w...

(Zechariah 4:10, NLT) “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.” Day of small things .... That is, the meager progress thus far achieved. They shall rejoice .... That is, at the accomplishment of that which appeared impossible. Small beginnings are the launching pad to great endings. Joyce Meyer When David went out to face Goliath, all he had was a slings...

Proverbs 14:30 Amplified Bible  A calm and peaceful and tranquil heart is life and health to the body, But passion and envy are like rottenness to the bones. EXUBERANT!  means to be fruitful, joyful, uninhibitedly enthusiastic, lavishly abundant and abounding in vitality. Wouldn’t that be a glorious way to live? No matter what age you are, you can be young at heart, full of faith, energy, and crea...

(Deuteronomy 7:1, TLB) “When the Lord brings you into the Promised Land, as he soon will, he will destroy the following seven nations, all greater and mightier than you are.” God was about to take the Israelites into the Promised Land, but there were seven nations in their path that were bigger, stronger, and more powerful than the Israelites. Moses didn’t know what they were going to do. In the n...

(James 4:7, TLB) So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Today’s Scripture tells us to resist the enemy. To Resist .... Greek. An-this-te-mi, "take a stand against." Simply put: Do not agree with what he’s telling you, but rather to believe what God says about you. When you hear him whisper, “You’re all washed up. You’ve made too many mistakes,” the...

(Hebrews 12:1, NIV) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Patience ..... Gr. hupomone, "patience," "endurance," "fortitude," "steadfastness," "perseverance." Because the Christi...
