In the Moment September 30, 2021
“Then I thought, ‘I will die in my nest, and multiply my days like the sand.”
Job 29:18 TLV
Joel Osteen’s devotional speaks about Job this morning. In spite of all the difficulties, Osteen notes Job saying, “I know God is still on the throne. This trouble is not going to defeat me; it’s going to push me.”. We have to know, as Osteen says, “God’s dream for Job’s life was greater than he imagined. The same goes for you and me. He has to get us uncomfortable and we must go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak) for our breakthrough. Focus and know it’s on the way.
Numbers 13
Wherever the Lord shall send us, let us go freely and willingly, for as in Numbers 13:27, we, too, shall come unto the land where He send us, and surely it will flow with milk and honey.
REflection from Promises for Your Everyday Life
This morning, Joyce Meyer speaks about jump-starting our dreams in her daily devotional. As children. we all dreamed freely, but as we have gotten older, some have forgotten how to dream or have lost sight of our dreams, and in many instances feel they’ll never come true. Yet Meyer encourages us this morning, “If your dream needs a jump-start, there are two things I want you to remember. First, you need to get a vision that's clear. And second, you must keep your vision in front of you at all times.” She goes further to say, “But having a vision doesn't mean that it will instantly appear. God's as interested in the process of vision as He is in the end result.” As I continuously REmind us, we have to go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak) for our breakthrough.
We are also encouraged by Meyer to find balance between contentment and ambition. She says, “Learn to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.” I say live in the moment with no REgrets. Whatever you deem BEst for you, don’t harbor your dream(s), but know you can do all things through Christ, but faith without works is dead. How bad do you want it?
Romans 6:23
This world we live in has an end, but we have BEen offered up a gift by the Father to live forever with Him.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
