TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth"
1 Samuel 17:33
TODAY'S WORD:
Are you stuck in a rut today because of the negative words that have been spoken over you in the past? In today's verse, we see that before David faced Goliath, he heard the accusing voices. But instead of listening to what others said, he chose to listen to what God said. He knew he was called, chosen and equipped to defeat that giant; and today, you are called, chosen and equipped for victory, too! David allowed his enemy to become elevator to rise him up to the level to which God had planned for him.
Remember what we have said in church that, "I am who God says I am." What we're saying in effect is "I am not who my chemistry teacher says I am." "I am not who my ex-husband or ex-wife says I am." "I am not who my critics say I am," and nowadays, "I am not who the bloggers, texters or Facebookers' say I am." "I am who God says I am." That means we are anointed. We are equipped. We are talented. We are redeemed. We are blessed. We have the favor of God!
Selah people' and friends today, if you've have been or are being held back by negative words spoken over you, ask yourself, "Who told me I'm not big or tall enough?" "Who told me I'm just average?" "Who told me that I'm not that talented?" Let go and forgive those people. Stop listening to the wrong voices and take the limits off of your life! God is calling each of us to much greater things.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word which so beautifully directs my steps. Today I step forward in confidence knowing that You are with me. I shake off negative words from the past and choose to forgive those who have hurt me. Thank You for leading me into victory! In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
