– Scripture:

               Stay Fueled

Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.

                            Romans 12:11-13

 – Reflection:

It’s easy to let difficulties and disappointments cause us to lose our passion in life and stop believing things to turn around. But if you could see what God has planned for you—the doors He’s going to open, the people you’re going to meet, the giants you’re going to defeat—you would go out each day excited about your future. You’d have the expectancy that allows God to do great things. He has a comeback for every setback, a new beginning for every loss, and mercy for every mistake. He’s already planned to bring you out better, heal you, and promote you.

Where do we go from here?

When you realize this, it changes your perspective. You know there’s no problem you’ll face where God hasn’t already lined up a solution—the right people, the breaks you need, the favor. There’s no dream for which God hasn’t already arranged the wisdom, the creativity, the connections, or the funding. When you know that the Most High God has planned your days, you can be glad and live out of a place of rest.

Our Prayer for Today?

Father, thank You for allowing us to rest in the security of knowing that You have a plan that You are working out for us during challenges and setbacks. Thank You for Your favor upon us. We believe that You will bring us out better than ever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
