Daily Bible Reading - Friday - April 9th

Deuteronomy has been quite the book to read, some parts well a lot of it I haven’t really understood much but have gotten a good bit out of is but it’s coming to an end I think only one more day of reading then we move onto Joshua.  Now Joshua can be an interesting book I think.  I’ve enjoyed and was blessed last time. 

Reading the devotional this morning really hit home again, well as usual, most of them speak to me greatly, anyway, while reading it I thought back to some past mistakes that have been made, that really haunt me at times, I’ve asked for forgiveness for them and all but you know the devil, he’s gonna bring it up in your face time and time again and make you feel like your not worthy to move on and do bigger and better things.  Well this devotional just confirms that God doesn’t operate like that and I’ve known that I just haven’t let it sink in to my think brain.  Like the devotional said, set backs are a part of life but we have God to turn to in order to get set back on track and learn not to do what it is we did in the first place.  God wants us to move on, after we ask for forgiveness its time to move forward, learn from our mistakes and do better.  Its sometimes not the easiest thing do to, sometimes is very hard but you know with God Everything is possible. That really spoke to me and set my spirit free in a couple area’s of my life, thank you Lord.

Daily Devotional

Philippians 3:14
"I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

God has planted His seed of hope, power and victory inside of you! All you have to do is allow God to bring the best out of your life and decide you won't settle for "good enough." It may not always be easy to do this, but it's very possible! Perhaps you have made a hurtful mistake in your past, and that is still haunting you. If you let the enemy tell you that you're not good enough for God's forgiveness, then you're settling for less than God's victory. Setbacks are part of life, but Jesus said He came to give you an abundant life! If you decide to strive for excellence, there is no limit to what the Lord can do through you and with you.

A Prayer For Today:

 God, I know that You have given me forgiveness and desire that I live in victory. I choose to live in Your victory today and not settle for "good enough", thank you for giving me victory to live my life in you, I love you and give you ALL the praise, in Jesus name, Amen!
