TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!"
Habakkuk 3:17–18
TODAY'S WORD:
Habakkuk knew what to do when things seemed completely hopeless. His world was literally falling apart around Him. There was destruction everywhere he looked. But Habakkuk knew that God was bigger than his circumstances! So what did he do? He invited God into his circumstances by rejoicing and praising the Lord. He made the choice to be joyful knowing that it would connect him to the One who would deliver him! I attach a picture of the Stella Bridge I remember from my youth that is near my hometown of Swansboro. I use this image as a reminder to me and to you that whatever we are going through God will carry us over, through or around all those obstacles. Even if what you are battling today seems impossible don't give up the fight and continue as Habakkuk did to praise Him.
My friend are you facing a situation that seems dark or hopeless?
No matter how difficult things may seem, God has a plan to bring you out into a place of victory and not leave you hopeless and in despair. Your praise is the bridge that will carry you into your land of promise. The Bible tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people, and when the presence of God manifests, the enemy has to flee! The Bible also tells us that there is fullness of joy in His presence. His joy empowers us to walk through any difficulty we may be facing.
Selah people' and friends no matter how things may seem in the natural, you can rejoice today because God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you praise Him, He will fill you with His joy and pour out His abundant blessing in every area of your life.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father in heaven, I come to You trusting that You are my deliverer. No matter what is going on around me, today I choose to bless and praise Your name. I choose to connect to You, knowing that You are the source of my strength, hope and peace. In Jesus' name, amen."
In Christ service,
