TODAY’S WORD
Sometimes even though we’ve been in a pit of despair for so long over a loss, or a setback, or a broken relationship that we’ve become content to stay there, God won’t give us a choice. He’ll lift you out of the pit and put you on course to your destiny. You didn’t deserve it. You didn’t think it would ever happen. You believed the lies that you were stuck in the pit permanently, but then suddenly God opened a door, suddenly your health turned around, suddenly the right person showed up. It wasn’t anything you did. It was simply the goodness of God.
I wonder what would happen if you would go out each day with the expectancy that God is your lifter. Not just hearing that message, but letting the seed take root, expecting God’s favor, expecting your dreams to come to pass, expecting to get well, expecting God to finish what He started. He’s about to take you out of the pit. He’s going to set your feet on solid ground and give you a new beginning. Expect His goodness.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that any pit I find myself pushed down into can never stop the purpose You put in my heart. Thank You that You have the power to deliver me from whatever tries to hold me back. I declare that You are lifting me up and setting my feet on solid ground. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
