October 8th, 2010 ~ Press Toward the Promise



TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

“...Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised”

Hebrews 6:12

TODAY’S WORD:

Are you facing a challenge today that seems overwhelming? Through faith and patience, God’s Word says that you will see His promises come to pass in your life. Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He’d leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. But if you’ll keep pressing toward your promise and following the Word of God, you will get there. Don’t be like the Israelites in the Old Testament who were right next to their promised land when they talked themselves out of it. They said, “There are giants in the land. It’s too difficult.”

Each training session I spend working out at CrossFit MtOlive is similar to life's challenges...we stand and look at the list of our WOD (work out of the day) and at times you think "there is no way we can do that!" You see in the physical we place limitations on the great things we can accomplish. I here the word speaking to us and telling us not to look at the obstacles in our lives today; instead we must lift up our eyes because we serve Almighty God. Instead,

we should follow the example of Abraham who believed God even when his circumstances looked impossible.

Selah people' and friends remember, God rewards the people who seek after Him. Stand in faith and keep believing because God will take you places that you never dreamed. My good friend Beverly Westbrook reminded me and my children once that we all can choose to have a good day or a bad day, she said she chooses to have a good day. Amen to that Beverly! As you press toward the promise, you will see His hand of blessing, and you will live in the victory He has prepared for you.

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Heavenly Father, I come to You today choosing to believe Your promises. I lift up my eyes to You, ready to receive Your strength. Fill me with Your faith and patience as I press forward into victory! In Jesus’ Name. Amen."
