TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense"
Proverbs 19:11
TODAY'S WORD:
Every day, we have opportunities to get upset, be frustrated or get offended. Maybe you had plans that didn't work out, or someone was rude to you at the work, home or school. Maybe you were doing something that should have taken one hour, and it ended up taking three. Life is full of inconveniences, but even though we can't always control our circumstances, we can control our reaction. I heard somebody once say, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond."
We should always go out each day with a positive attitude, full of hope and expecting God's favor. But at the same time, we should recognize that most days are not going to go exactly as we planned. Remember, we were created to live in peace. Peace is our position of power.
Selah people' and friends if you get stressed because you got off schedule or upset because your child wouldn't eat his breakfast, or frustrated because somebody offended you, you are giving away your power. I see this happen daily. I challenge us all to instead, make the decision to release those offenses and disappointments so we can live in peace and enjoy the day as a blessing God prepared for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father in heaven, today I release every care, concern, offense and disappointment to You. I choose to keep the peace that You have given me. I look forward to today knowing that You are with me and leading me in victory in Jesus' name! Amen."
Your brother in Christ,
