Miracles Along the Way!

Paul went in and prayed for him, and laying his hands on him, he healed him. Then all the other sick people on the island came and were healed.
Acts 28:8–9
Miracles Along the Way
The apostle Paul had God’s promise that he would stand before Caesar in Rome, but on the journey there he had to survive a huge storm, being shipwrecked, and being bitten by a venomous snake. The islanders witnessed Paul miraculously not being harmed by the poison. Then Paul prayed for the healing of the father of the leading official of the island as well as anyone else on the island who was sick. Not surprisingly, many of the islanders came to faith.

Sometimes God will take you on what feels like a detour on your way to your destiny. He said you’re going to Rome, but you find yourself on an island with a snake bite, thinking, “This doesn’t make sense.” But it’s not just about you; it’s about the people whom God wants you to impact. There are people who need your love and healing touch. There’s healing in your words. Sometimes we can get so caught up in our plans that we miss the miracles along the way. It’s a divine detour. As you help others, that’s a seed God will use to help you.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that the storms and shipwrecks I face today cannot stop Your plan for my life. Thank You that my purpose is firmly and securely in Your hands. I believe and declare that what seem like detours cannot defeat me and are pushing me into my destiny. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
