Daily Devotional for January 16, 2021

“In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job‬ ‭12:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Yesterday I said our destiny can BE in a disaster in life, and today, as a REsult of Osteen’s message, I see that our destiny can also BE in a delay. There is a scripture that says, “Wait on the Lord, and be of good courage...”(Psalm 27:14). This scripture along with the one that is emphasized with today’s message by Osteen, which says, ““In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind” (Job‬ ‭12:10‬), let’s us know that whether intentional or not and whether a disaster or delay, God will work everything for our good. Therefore let us “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).

Just a few months ago I felt that it was time for a change in my career. I had BEcome extremely stagnant and couldn’t seem to find the JOY in my professional JOurneY. I was a candidate for a position but was denied. However, BEcause I made my petitions known to the Father, He had a plan for my life by just allowing me to wait. In the waiting of only a few weeks, God didn’t open a door, but He actually created a door for me to walk into on my own. What looked like no opportunity where I worked, He allowed for an internal position to BE created for me. When we wait He can use us in ways we could have never imagined.

Jeremiah 41

Sometimes in life, as shown in Jeremiah 41, we must fight and other times we must take flight and get away from those things that mean no good in our lives. When we flee, it allows us to truly let God fight our battles and BE our vindicator, allowing Him to BE mighty in battle, leaving us faultless of where we could have brought harm to others.

REflection from Divine Time Management

In the final message by Elizabeth Grace Saunders in her series “Divine Time Management”, she REminds us, “To have the capacity to love others well, we need to take the time to love ourselves well”. This is a challenge for many individuals BEcause for so many years they have put others BEfore themselves. There is a saying that it’s hard to teach and old dog new tricks. Well thank God we are not dogs! It’s important for us to work to create healthy habits in our lives, to include putting ourselves first. Spiritually, emotionally, and physically, we must invest in ourselves to BE our BEst selves for ourselves and to BE even BEtter for those who we love and serve.

Jeremiah 29:13

Let us search each day for the Lord to come into our lives and order our thoughts and actions as we continue along this glorious adventure with Thee. 🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
