Make Room
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
A good man
leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner
is stored up for the righteous.
Proverbs
13:22, NKJV.
TODAY’S WORD
Notice,
God has already laid up contracts, houses, businesses, promotions and good
breaks. They already have your name on them. If you’ll keep honoring God and
making room for them, then eventually they will find their way into your
hands—the hands of the righteous.
That means
right now something is headed your direction; not bad breaks, not
disappointments, not lack, not mediocrity. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Savior, then you are the righteous! Increase is looking for you.
Favor is looking for you. Good breaks are looking for you!
My
question is, are you making room for it? Are you taking off the limits in your
thinking? Are you preparing for increase? Get rid of any old thoughts that are
telling you, “You’ve gone as far as you can. You never get any good breaks.
This sounds good today, but this is not for you. This is for everybody else.
You’ve made too many mistakes. You come from the wrong family.” There will
always be voices that try to talk you out of it. When you look at it in the
natural, your own thoughts may tell you, “It’s impossible. There’s no way.” But
that’s when you have to rise up in faith and embrace His promises so you can
make room for the blessings He has in store for you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father,
today I take the limits off and open my heart to You. I believe Your Word and
believe that You have blessing and provision prepared for me. I receive it by
faith today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

“Everything you do must be done with love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14 NLT)
One of the most important keys to receiving God’s favor on your work is this: You must care about the people you work with. Even when they are irritable, even when they don’t like you, even when they make fun of you, even when they put you down for being a Christian, you must still be a friend to them.
Why is this so important for success? Because the number one lesson in life, the number one reason God put you on this earth, is to learn how to love. God is love, and he wants you to be like him.
It’s easy to love people you like, the people you find easy to get along with. So if God’s going to teach you real love, realize that he’s going to put you around unlovely people.
“Everything you do must be done with love” (1 Corinthians 16:14 NLT). This means at the office, in the car, on a sales call — whatever. The good news is this really is not hard. It’s easy to underestimate the power of a kind word, a friendly smile, a pat on the back, a genuine compliment, a word of encouragement, or a listening ear.
I have seen so many lives changed when somebody takes time to pay attention to them. There is not a person on this planet who isn’t starving for attention. But a caring person is hard to find.
The Apostle Paul said this, “I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare” (Philippians 2:20 NLT). Does that sound like your workplace? Or is everyone looking out for their own interests and not those of other people? Those who really care are really aware.
