Blossom in the Wilderness!

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
Isaiah 35:1–2, NIV
Blossom in the Wilderness
At some point, we all feel stuck in a dry desert place. We’re stuck in a challenge, stuck in the past, stuck in a bad break, in a disappointment, in a hurt. It’s easy to settle there and think, “God has been good to me, but I’ve seen my best days. I’ve had some victories in the past, but it’s been one difficulty after another, struggle and lack.” But God never does His greatest work in your yesterdays; they’re always in your tomorrows. Your greatest victories, your most rewarding moments, the biggest achievements in your life are not in your past; they are still in front of you. You’re about to come into fresh momentum, a growing season, where you’re going to bloom and see new doors open and opportunities come to you. You’re going to see favor that you’ve never seen. It’s going to be uncommon, things you couldn’t make happen. You can’t explain it. It doesn’t make sense. It’s the hand of God. He is breathing on your life in a new way, empowering you to fulfill your purpose.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are the Most High God and You never leave me to stagnate in a desert place. Thank You that Your greatest work in my life and my best days are still ahead. I declare that I am going to rejoice and blossom like a crocus in the wilderness. 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...

Listen Up!

"After the earthquake a fire, but Adonai was not in the fire. After the fire there was a soft whisper of a voice."   (1 Kings 19:12) Listen Up! Listening is a lost art today. We can be so concerned about expressing our thoughts and opinions that we don't listen closely to others—or even to God. If we're not careful, distractions and busyness can drown out the voice that matters most in our lives, the voice of our heavenly Father. The good news is that you can learn to tune out the negative noise of the world and start listening for God's voice, for hopeful, positive, faith-filled thoughts. Be receptive and listen for His still, small voice on the inside of you. God speaks not only through the Bible but also through godly counsel and His Holy Spirit. All it takes is a simple prayer like the one Samuel prayed in 1 Samuel 3:10 when he said to God, "I am listening." Then be ready to listen for His answer. A Prayer for Today "God, than...
