Fireproof (July 23, 2021)

Today's Scripture: “When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” (Isaiah 43:2)

Today’s Word: Maybe you prayed for God to turn a situation around, but it didn’t happen. Now thoughts tell you, “He must not care about you.” If Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were to step out of their story in Daniel 3, they’d say, “We know how you feel. We prayed and asked God to deliver us from going into the fiery furnace, but God didn’t answer our prayer the way we wanted. We were tempted to panic and complain, but instead, we decided to trust Him. We told the king that even if God didn’t deliver us, we would not bow to his idol. When he threw us in the furnace, amazingly, the fire didn’t burn us. Then all of a sudden, in the middle of the fire, the Son of God showed up!”

You may be in the fire, but stay in faith. You are fireproof. God is right there with you. Keep believing, keep praying, keep doing the right thing. You’re going to come out without the smell of smoke.

Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that no matter what the situation is, You are worthy of my trust. There are things in my life that I don’t understand, situations I want to see changed, but even if they never happen, I’m going to trust You. I gladly leave these matters in Your hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Friends Pull You Up (July 22, 2021)

Today's Scripture: Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. (Acts 3:6–7)

After Peter spoke a word of faith to the crippled beggar in Acts 3, Peter wouldn’t let him stay down. He didn’t give him a choice. He prayed and then he pulled him up. You need some friends like Peter who won’t let you stay down. When you’re in the pits, when you can’t get up on your own, you don’t need people who feel sorry for you. You need people who pull you out of that pit. You need people who love you so much they won’t let you make excuses or stay discouraged or give up on your dream. They not only pray but pull you up.

You may need to get away from a negative environment and people who are enabling your dysfunction and holding you back. Get away from people who tell you that where you are is where you’ll always be. Stay in an environment of faith. If you do this, you’re going to see an increase, new levels, new relationships, new talents, and the fullness of your destiny.

Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You for friends who won’t let me stay down but are there to help pull me up when I need them. Help me to develop relationships with the right people and to separate from those who keep me in the pits. I declare that I will stay in an environment of faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
