Daily Bible Reading - Monday - February 8th

Today reading in Exodus and Matthew both you can see preparation is being made for the second coming of Christ.  It’s really amazing how both books of the bible, one being in the Old Testament and one being in the New Testament, can have pretty much the same thing in them.  In Exodus we see the temple is nearing completion and God is instructing how He wants the Robes made for the Priests.  Reading that can you just imagine how beautiful they are, the detail of each stitch and stone put upon the robes?  It really makes me think how detail a God we serve.  In our lives he has every little detail covered, from the smallest of details to the largest.  It seems everything has its place and time.  Just like us with this surgery, we’ve all had our place and time in our journey’s and no matter how many days or months or even years we are out we still have to contend with the little details of having the surgery, from taking the proper vitamins to eating the right foods, it’s a never ending thing we have to deal with.  It kind of funny as we wrap up our readings today, our last reading is in Proverbs and what does Proverbs say?  Vs 12 says, I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.  There’s that “W" word again, Wisdom.  Seems we just can’t get away from wisdom.  I think God is trying to tell us how important using Wisdom is.  That’s one thing that we will never get away from.  Just remember, using wisdom in our daily lives will bless us more then any of us can imagine.

Daily Devotional

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

I feel strongly in my spirit that it’s going to be an Ephesians 3:20 decade! God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all we can imagine! Let that take root on the inside. It’s going to be a far and beyond decade. Here’s what that means: you’re going to come into opportunities that will boggle your mind. You’re going to see your career take off like a rocket. You’re going to meet the right people who will help further your dreams. You’re going to accomplish goals more quickly than you imagined. You’re going to come out of debt and pay that house off even though it looked impossible. You’re going to get well even though the medical report says there’s no way. Things may be dark and gloomy around you, but keep your head held high. You have an advantage. You are a child of the Most High God. His face is shining down on you. God is saying it’s not going to be an average decade. It’s not going to be a barely-get-by decade. No, you need to get ready because it’s going to be a decade of favor, a decade of increase, a decade where you accomplish your God-given dreams!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You for an exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade. I choose to put my trust in You knowing that You are directing my steps. Thank You for the good things You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
