Daily Bible Reading - Wednesday - December 16th

The devotional today is so encouraging.  This year has brought some real trials but in the midst of those trials my faith has been strengthened.  I’ve totally discovered how much God really does want to bless us and provide for our EVERY need.  There’s always a catch though, that catch here is just to have faith.  I always had the thinking in the past that faith was hard to come by, ppfftt, it’s not, you just have to believe what God tells us in His word.  Like the devotional, the bible tells us that if we just have faith as big as a grain of mustard seed we’ll be able to move mountains.  Do you realize how big a mustard seed is?  It’s one of the smallest seeds there is.  So you see, we don’t have to have much faith in order to mountains in our lives, just think if we have faith as big as 3 or 4 grains of mustard seeds, wow we’d be able to conquer anything.  That’s how God wants us to be, He wants us to be able to conquer any problem that comes our way.  When we go through struggles and trials instead of it bringing us down those trials will only strengthen us and help us get to the next level.  I Cor. 15:57 says “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."  Lets live in victory, total victory this next year.

Daily Devotional

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever"
(Ephesians 3:20-21, NKJ)

God wants to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ever ask, think, or imagine. In another place, it says that no person has ever seen, heard, or even imagined the wonderful things that God has in store for those who love the Lord. But notice that it's according to the power working in us. God's power works in us by our faith or how we believe. Do you believe today that God wants to work in your life exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think? Do you believe He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness and blessing?

The Bible says that if we have faith the size of a tiny mustard seed, we can move mountains. And no matter how much faith we have, faith can grow in us by hearing, studying, and receiving the Word of God.

I encourage you today, make God's Word a priority. Believe that He will do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think. He is faithful to His Word, and He will be faithful to fulfill every promise He's made to you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness in my life. Thank You for blessing me and for doing exceedingly abundantly above all I can ask or think. Thank You for increasing my faith as I focus on Your Word. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
