TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"...Freely you have received; freely give"
Matthew 10:8
TODAY'S WORD:
There are a lot of people who are successful in this world. They've accomplished their goals in the public eye. But being successful isn't just about what you make happen for yourself, it's about what you make happen for others. It's when you realize, "God has blessed me not to just sit on my throne and let everybody see my accomplishments; God has blessed me to be a blessing to others. God has helped me to win so I can help somebody else win."
Brothers and sisters ask yourself today how God through others has helped you in some small or large way. Can you not return that favor by passing on the blessing to a friend, family member or even a stranger who may be in need? In other words, it's when you realize, "God helped me overcome this addiction, now I'm going to go find somebody and help them overcome." Or, "God has blessed me with a happy family. I'm going to go find a family that's struggling and help them get back on track." That's what being successful is really all about.
Selah people' and friends today, look for ways to help others succeed. Reach back and give freely of the talents and abilities you've been given. As you do, you'll rise up higher and live in the fullness of the blessing God has prepared for you! Don't take a wrong turn choose the right direction for you life and success.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for giving me so much. Thank You for blessing me with talents and abilities and the desire to bless others. Show me ways to reach out and help others move forward and help them be successful so we can all rise higher together. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
