Daily Bible Reading - Sunday - July 11th

I think throughout the scriptures we have ready already we have seen God in many ways encouraging His people to go the extra mile.  I know when we do go that extra mile in doing different things we feel good about ourselves and feel good about doing the right things.  To me in many things it’s easier to go the extra mile then it is to just go the one mile then stop.  In many area’s of my own life I have to learn to go more, do more.  It’s the little area’s of life that all add up to one big area  When we make our minds up to go that extra mile in whatever it is, we’ll be so blessed and feel so good about it. Today I commit myself to go that extra mile.

Daily Devotional

"My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help"
(Psalm 56:9, NLT)

Are you believing for God to do something in your life today? I want to encourage you because God is already working behind the scenes on your behalf! Just because you don't see anything happening, doesn't mean that God isn't working. The moment we pray, God sets the miracle into motion. The thing we have to remember is that God doesn't say, "I'll deliver you in one hour, or next week, or Tuesday at 5:00 p.m." No, He doesn't put a time frame on it. That's where trust comes in. We have to know that our enemies retreat as soon as we call on Him for help. We have to choose to go back to the place of peace knowing that He is working things out.

Today, shake off the temptation to get discouraged during the waiting process. Shake off offense, shake off discouragement. Remember, all it takes is one touch of God's favor to take you years ahead. Keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping because the answer is on its way the moment we pray!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, thank You for hearing me the moment I pray. Today I choose to trust that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf no matter what I see in the natural. I will praise You today and always because You are faithful. I love You and bless You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
