Possess Your Promised Land
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The Lord your God will thrust them out from before you and drive them out of your sight, and you shall possess their land, as the Lord your God promised you”
(Joshua 23:5, AMP)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
We all have giants or obstacles that try to keep us from possessing what God has promised. We have two choices: we can quit and live in mediocrity, or we can fight and take hold of the victory.
In the Bible, the children of Israel were camped right next door to their Promised Land. God had already told them He would give them the victory; all they had to do was go in and fight for the land. But, when they heard how big their opponents were, they had such a weak, defeated mentality that they just gave up. Their attitude was, “What’s the use even trying? We’ll never defeat those people. We might as well just stay out here in the wilderness.” They settled for mediocrity because they weren’t willing to fight.
Father, today I come to You believing that You have given me the victory. I will not focus on the obstacles before me; instead, I will focus on You because You promised to make a way for me. Help me to stand strong and keep my heart and mind focused on the victory You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father God, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for believing in me, for giving me a hope and a future. Today I choose to stretch; I choose increase; I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
