TODAYS SCRIPTURE
...I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances
(Philippians 4:11, NIV)
TODAYS WORD from Joel and Victoria
In life, its easy to get so focused on our dreams and goals, the things we want, that it consumes us. We can get to the point where were not happy, and were not going to be happy until it happens. But Ive found that if we have to have something in order to be happy, our lives are out of balance. When our goals and dreams start to frustrate us, and we lose our peace and were not enjoying life, thats a sure sign that were holding on too tightly. Whats the solution? Youve got to release it. Freedom comes when you say, God, Im turning it all over to You. You know my desires, and You know whats best for me. Im choosing to trust You and Your timing.
When we learn to be content whatever the circumstances, the power of the enemy is broken. It takes away his ability to frustrate us. Not only that, but by our actions we are showing our faith in God. When you choose to trust in His timing, you can live in peace, you can live in joy, and you can rest in Him, knowing that He has good things in store for your future!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I choose to trust in You. I release frustration over the dreams and desires in my heart, knowing that You know whats best for me. I choose to trust in Your timing because You are faithful, and I will bless You in all things in Jesus name. Amen.
