His Word for Today

This morning's verses talk about restoration through expanding the territories the Lord intends for us to occupy. It takes time for us to know the sweet spot of His plan for us to be at the center of His will. It is a journey of seeking and knowing His will, (Ref Matthew 7:7) trial and error (Ref Proverbs 24:16) to understand the gifts He has entrusted to us. But once we have come to a place of knowing His calling on our lives, a specific purpose, it is simply a matter of cha

This morning's verses talk about unnecessary battles that we fight simply out of pride. Are there any battles that we are fighting that are simply a waste of time?  The Lord is teaching us to drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. Arguments that take up our time that could be used for something productive is time wasted. (Ref Proverbs 17:14) If we hold onto offense, this is also a way to waste our time. When we overlook an offense, we are able to move on to spend our ti

This morning's verses talk about how He leads us  at times. He leads us through repetitive tasks. Also, there are battles or opportunities that He doesn't want us to fight.  Let us not be surprised when He is leading us to do tasks repetitively or when He keeps us from fighting in what seems like opportunities.  Today, let us continue to hear His voice for His fresh and new way of His guidance. He is about to do a new thing. (Ref Isaiah 43:19) May the Lord continue to richly

This morning’s verses talk about our motives. Where is our heart’s motives even if we may be doing the right thing? He judges our motives. (Ref Hebrews 4:12) Are we driven by fear or led by purely serving and obeying the Lord because we trust Him. If we trust in Him, we shall have peace because He gives to those who trust in Him. (Ref Isaiah 26:3) Today, let us assess our motives as we do the work for the Lord. Do we have peace? May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about the Israelis' unbelief. What unbelief is keeping us from stepping into the God given destiny?  As the Scriptures teach us, we are created in the image of God (Ref Genesis 1:27) and we are like Jesus (Ref 1 John 4:17). This literally means that we are more than enough already, whole. We have the mind of Christ (Ref 1 Corinthians 2:16) and hear His voice. (Ref John 10:27) Additionally, if we are speakers and fearful that someone may interrupt an

This morning’s verses talk about our need for mind renewal dealing with pride.  Are there any areas in our lives where we have become prideful, have chosen to become blind to His Wisdom that could lead us to experience breakthroughs? All that the Israelis needed was to believe in the victories the Lord would give them but they chose not to. It is important that we seek Him and we will find the Word that is needed for breakthroughs. (Ref Matthew 7:7-8) We may already have all

This morning's verses talk about the reports Moses received from the spies. What is keeping us from experiencing the breakthroughs in our lives? For the Israelis, it was their lack of faith to conquer the promised land. How about us? In this age of social media, and even the customs of this world, can blind us to the truths taught in the Scriptures, which may distort our ideas about a certain topic that they should be approached and done in a certain way that can even be unbi

This morning's verses talk about not to fear.  In other words, fear is a verb as a result of our choices. We can still feel fear and do what the Lord commands us to do.  This means that our walk with Christ requires faith that overcomes fear. (Ref  Hebrews 11:6)More specifically, if we don't feel any fear as we activate our faith in Him, we may need to question if we are in the center of God's will.  Today, even if we feel fear, let us continue to do what the Lord leads us to

This morning's verses talk about fairness. How can we make fair judgments? The ultimate judgement comes from God and He wants to use us to make fair judgements. We should not fear the opinions and pressures that come from people to make fair judgements. What is He speaking to us to do? (Ref John 10:27) One of the keys for fair judgement is to hear both sides of the story. (Ref Proverbs 18:17) Are we quick to pass judgement before hearing the story of another person? Love is p

This morning's verses talk about delegation. Are there any areas in our lives that we have chosen not to delegate? Christ delegated His works onto us to preach the Gospel although He could have done it by Himself because He is almighty. (Ref Matthew 19:26, Mark 16:15) He Who was perfect, delegated to those who were not. (Ref Romans 3:23) Is the reason why we have not delegated is because we are afraid that they would not do as well as we do? As Christ promised that we would d

This morning's verses talk about resuming what we stopped doing. Have we stopped doing something that needs to be resumed?  Have we stopped exercising, taking a walk, or other habits that we used to do that help build the Kingdom of God? He may be leading us to resume the routine. Today, let us seek His guidance in terms of anything that we stopped doing that needs to be resumed.  May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about protection from the Lord to fulfill the God given destiny. Israelis were still on the east side of the Jordan river yet to cross into the promised land, and were protected by the Lord through victory against their enemies.  Where are we in our walk with Christ? We may be in our God's place of calling and are ready to expand the footprint to occupy more territory to impact and influence more people, and He is with us to protect us so that we ca

This morning's verses talk about obedience to the Lord. Are we obedient to what the Lord has called us to do? As the Scripture teaches us, we cannot run away from the gifts the Lord has given to us. (Ref Romans 11:29) Our only choice is to use them or not. What is He speaking to us today? What is the still small voice we hear from the inside as we develop our intimate relationship with the Lord? We may have an impression from the Spirit what to do next. (Ref Psalm 23, 1 Kings

This morning's verses talk about accepting and following through with correction.  What keeps us from actually correcting ourselves? Our choices and actions need to be intentional. We need to choose to act with discipline. (Ref Galatians 5:22-23) What we have chosen to do in the morning during quiet time with the Lord, we need to follow through throughout the day. We can write down our revelations in our note pads and remind ourselves of His revelation. (Ref Habakkuk 2:2) Tod
