Daily Devotional for April 7, 2021

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Philippians 4:6 MSG

As much as we pray for the Lord to work things out, as with Osteen, in REtrospect, sometimes we find pleasure in saying, “Lord, thank You for closing that door. Thank You that it didn’t work out.” Without some closed doors that initially we wanted to open or REmain open, we would not BE where we are today. Without some seasons coming to an end we would not BE catapulted into new levels and locations. Today’s scripture REminds us, “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns” (Philippians 4:6 MSG). When we do that, as Osteen tells us, God will bless us in ways greater than we’d ever imagined.” Look back over your life; He’s done it BEfore, and He’ll do it again—just keep the faith. Your abundant blessing is on the way. Wait for it!

Daniel 7

Here on earth and for eternity, our Father has dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed (Daniel‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NRSV‬‬).

REflection from Life After Life

The final message from “Life After Life” REminds us that when we choose to BElieve in Jesus and trust in Him...”That doesn’t mean that you will always do the right thing or never mess up again...But it does mean that you can continue to become more and more like Jesus and put your old sinful self behind you.” We cannot get to where we are supposed to BE by REturning to our past, but we must REmain forward, focused, and following in faith (and not fear) and favor towards what God is leading us to and taking us through for our good. Even if we misstep, when following Him, it will work for out good.

Colossians 4:6

May we BE careful of the words we speak for one day they might BE what we have to eat. 🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
