Another word to ponder

Today's Scripture

"The path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day…" (Proverbs 4:18, AMP).

We all face challenges. We all have obstacles to overcome. But if we can keep the right perspective, it will help us to stay in faith so that we can move forward into victory. You may feel right now like the challenges that you face are too big, or too overwhelming. One thing I've learned is that average people have average problems. Ordinary people have ordinary challenges. But remember, you're not average. You're not ordinary. You are extraordinary. God breathed His life into you. You are exceptional, and exceptional people face exceptional difficulties. But the good news is we serve an exceptional God! When you have an incredible problem, instead of being discouraged, you should be encouraged knowing that you're an incredible person serving an incredible God thus you will have an incredible future! Your path is shining brighter and brighter. Be encouraged today because your life is on an extraordinary path. Keep standing in faith, keep declaring victory over your future, keep declaring the promises of God over your life. Keep declaring that you are moving forward into the bright, exceptional future that the Lord has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, today I lift my eyes to You. I know that You are the One who helps me and has given me an extraordinary future. I choose to stand in faith today knowing that You have a wonderful plan in store for me! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
