Daily Bible Reading - Tuesday - June 29th

Lately we been reading about all kinds of miracles in the bible.  In both the Old and New Testaments we see them.  From where David killed goliath to where Paul and Silas were in prison and they were miraculously freed.  Miracles are through the whole Bible and are also through out our whole lives.  We may not see them or think miracles even exist but they do.  Look at David, he was such a small guy compared to goliath, yet he knew he could conquer the giant and he did.  God gave him the strength, courage and ability to do just that.  There might be giants in your life that need to be conquered, God is no respecter of persons, he’ll do it for you just like he did it for David and just like he did for Paul and Silas and all the other miracles He did in the bible.  We used to have this little saying on our fridge, “Something Good is going to happen to you today".  When we expect a miracle to happen in our life, its gonna happen, maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow but its gonna happen, you can count on it.

"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins"
(Mark 2:22, NKJ)

Are you ready for increase? Are you ready to go to the next level spiritually, physically and emotionally? In today's verse, Jesus is basically saying that you can't go to a new level with an old way of thinking.

I've found that many people hear the truth that God has more in store for them, and something resonates on the inside. Their spirit comes into agreement with God. But often times, their natural minds will try to talk them out it. Thoughts come like, "It's not going to happen for you. You're not going to have a great year. You know what the economy is like." Or, "You're never going to get well. You saw what the medical report said." "You're never going to get married. You've been single so long."

Friend, those are the old wineskins that you have to get rid of. This is a new season. What's happened in the past is over and done. You may have been through some disappointments, you may have tried and failed or things didn't work out. That's okay. We serve a God of restoration. It's time to get a new vision for your life. It's time to open yourself to a new way of thinking so that you can move forward and receive all the blessings God has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, today I choose to get rid of old wineskins. I choose to release old thinking, old habits, and anything that would keep me from Your best. Strengthen me by Your Spirit so that I can live my life in a way that pleases You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
