TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“I am confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living”
(Psalm 27:13, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
David was going through tough times when he made the declaration in today’s verse. Things weren’t going his way. But he said in effect, “I’m not worried. I’m not upset. I am confident I will see God’s goodness.” In other words, “This situation I’m in may be rough, but that’s not going to steal my vision. That’s not going to cause me to give up on my dreams. I am confident that this year, I will see God’s favor in a new way.”
That’s what our attitude needs to be today because what you focus on is what you will see. No matter what the medical report says, no matter what your finances look like, no matter how bad that relationship may seem, be confident that you will see His goodness! He is the all-powerful, omniscient, Creator of the Universe, and He holds you in the palm of His hand. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Take hold of this truth by faith and focus on His goodness today. Allow His peace to settle in your heart and mind as you move forward in His blessing all the days of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for Your goodness in my life. I choose to focus on You today no matter what my circumstances may look like. Give me Your peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
(Jeremiah 23 : 16-17)
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
They say still to them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say to every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come on you.
Yes, it is because of His goodness that we are all here today. This verse fills me with so much confidence that I feel like repeating it loud every second, every minute, every hour of the day! To God be the glory! Amen.
thank you so much,describes just how i feel:)
This message has really helped me. I’m in rough seas right now but I am confident I shall see the goodness of GOD in the land of the living this year!
Iam in a bad situation someone gave me this scripture to meditate on it and this has just confirmed iam about to see the lord’s goodness!!
🙂 that’s a great verse and appeals to all of us. To everyone above that has problems and those enjoying blessings my prayers for you and your families. As much as Zambia and Africa have suffered theft from invaders and their evils in the past. One thing still remains we have kept Joy because our father in heaven has kept joy in our hearts. So let’s pray for one another and the renewing of mindsets so as we do not get invaded mentally.
Amen, LT thanks for such encouraging words and bible reading.
For sure I will achieve my dreams coz God’s favor is on my side..
Am going through a rough time at the moment and after reading this verse it gives me more hope to continue having faith and hoping for the best. I know its done already. God’s time is not our time.
Amen To Jesus I love you my GOD!
