Planted and Flourishing

Today’s Scripture
Psalm 92:13, NKJV
Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Today’s Word
The Scripture says that when you're plugged into a community of faith, there is a blessing on your life that will cause you to bloom, to blossom, and to flourish. You will reach levels that you couldn't reach on your own. This is true because Jesus says, "Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them." How about when one hundred are gathered, or one thousand? We each bring God with us. In His presence is healing and the fullness of joy. Together, our faith and strength are multiplied.

Given so much trouble in the world today, more than ever we need to plant ourselves in the house of the Lord to draw strength and encouragement from one another. David says, "I love Your sanctuary, the place where Your glory shines." As you gather together, God's glory and favor will shine down on you. You have to make it a priority to be there. You were not created to do life on your own.

Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for the promise that when I am plugged into a community of faith, I will flourish. Thank You that when we gather in Jesus' Name, He is in our midst, and His glory shines upon us. I declare that I am making it my priority to plant myself in Your house. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Rescued

Today's Scripture
Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, but the LORD rescues him from them all.
Psalm 34:19, AMP

Today’s Word
God never said we wouldn’t have difficulties. Being a person of faith doesn’t exempt us from challenges and unfair situations. That’s a part of life. The promise in today’s Scripture is not that you won’t have difficulties, but that God will bring you out of “them all.” When you’re in the adversity, your report should be, “I’m coming out. This sickness is temporary. This trouble is not the end. This addiction is not permanent. This slowdown in my business is just for a season.” Right now, you may not be able to see it, but God is in the adversity with you and is in the process of bringing you out. You’re not going to come out the same. You’re going to come out stronger, free from things that were holding you back, with a greater trust in God, a greater confidence, a greater faith. That’s getting you prepared for the next level of your destiny. With every experience, something is deposited in you that you’re going to use down the road.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that no matter what hardship or trouble I face, I can stay in peace knowing that You will rescue me from them all. Thank You that You are right here with me in the challenge. I declare that I am coming out of it stronger and ready for the next level You are taking me to. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
