TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled"
Matthew 5:6
TODAY'S WORD:
Sometimes, it's easy to get wrapped up in taking care of the people around us. You may find that you're always giving, taking care of the children, working overtime at the office, or helping that friend who is struggling. And that's all good. But if you're not careful, you can end up feeling rundown. That's why you have to take time every day to get filled back up. Your first priority should be taking care of yourself and making time to get into the presence of Jesus.
Throughout scripture, we see that in God's presence there is fullness of joy, fullness of peace, and fullness of victory. In His presence, you're refreshed and restored. That's why it's so important to take time every day to read your Bible, or get the scripture through one of your sources of technology and meditate on His promises. We have to be diligent to have that quiet time with Him. As the word reminds us we need to go into our prayer closets.
Selah people' and friends today, take time to get alone with God and just say, "God, I love You today. Thank You for my life, for my family, for the opportunities You've given me. Lord, I know every good thing comes from You." When you live like that, with your heart connected to His, you'll be refreshed, restored, reenergized and filled up for the journey of life!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, I love You so much today. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus so that I can have a personal relationship with You. Draw me to You. Keep me close to You always in Jesus' name. Amen."
Your brother in Christ,
Patrick
