May 11, 2010 ~ It's Time to Thrive

Are you reaching your full potential? Christ has big plans for each of us!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers"

3 John 1:2

Friends many people today are living in "survival mode." If they can just make it through the day, if they just make it to Wednesday or Friday or the end of the shift they've accomplished their goal. And, there are times when circumstances can seem overwhelming. There are seasons that are more difficult than others. But God doesn't want us to just survive, He wants us to thrive. He wants us to prosper in all things.

How many of us are waiting until certain things get done to feel like we can finally thrive?

Are going to move forward when the grass is cut, a surgery is complete, this headache goes away, a bill is paid off, when that next project is complete...? You see brothers and sisters the list can go on and on and never end.

Selah people' and friends one definition of the word "thrive" means "to realize a goal despite circumstances." That means you can prosper in all things no matter what is going on around you. You don't have to settle for an average year; you can have an extraordinary year. You may be planning on just getting by, but God is planning on abundance. He's planning on overflow. It's time to get into agreement with God. It's time to walk in His ways. It's time to see your dreams come to pass. It's time to thrive because God has a plan for you to prosper in every area of your life!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for the gift of today. I choose to cast my cares on You knowing that because You care about me, You care for me. Help me to see the good plan You have for me so that I can thrive the way You intended. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
