Daily Bible Reading - Friday - April 2nd

Reading in Deuteronomy it really struck me what they do to rebellious and stubborn sons, wow!! If a son is rebellious and stubborn the mother and father take him to the elders where they have court and tell them and then stone him to death,  my goodness, I’m so glad my mom and dad didn’t do that with me lol.  I wasn’t all that bad but still, sheesh!!  As I read on it looks as if they stone you to death for most every little thing, boy they were harsh back then, sometimes I can see that being a good punishment but sometimes man that’s just harsh but then again Im sure they made them be pretty disciplined about their lives, I know it would me.   I like how Proverbs put the word today “A hard worker has plenty of food but a person who chases fantasies has no sense"   That reminds me of Jan and how hard she works everyday in her flower gardens and in the veggie garden,  if any of you have had the privilege of seeing her gardens in person know how beautiful they are, its all the result of her hard labor in them, so  beautiful, and all of us actually that have gardens whether it be veggie or flower gardens you know when you work hard in the gardens you eventually see the fruits of your labor, it’s really so rewarding.

"For the vision is yet for an appointed time…though it tarries, wait for it"
(Habakkuk 2:3, KJV)

God has an appointed time to fulfill the visions, dreams, and desires in your heart. Just because it has taken a long time or because you've tried and failed doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Don't give up on those dreams! Don't be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. Our God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible things look, if you'll stay in faith, your set time is coming.

Remember, every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God put it there. Not only that, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Hold on to that vision today. Declare by faith, "My time is coming. God is working behind the scenes on my behalf. I will fulfill my destiny!" As you continue to hold on to that vision and speak life over your dreams, it won't be long before you see them begin to take shape. You'll see your faith grow, you'll see your hope strengthen, and you'll see yourself step into the destiny God has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I receive Your Word which is life and health to me today. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words agreeable to Your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
