At
Any Moment
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
Behold, I make a covenant.
Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the
earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the
work of the LORD. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.
Exodus 34:10, NKJV.
TODAY’S
WORD
God said, “I’m going to do
great things that I have never done before anywhere on earth. People will see
what great things I can do because I’m going to do something awesome for you.”
Now when God uses the word “awesome,” He is not talking about a trickle, a
stream or a river of power. He is talking about a flood of favor, a flood of
ideas, a flood of healing. It may not look like it in the natural right now;
but remember, you’re under a Flash Flood Warning. Any moment, the heavens could
open up. Any moment, you could meet the right person. Any moment, God could do
something awesome, something that you’ve never seen before in your life.
Now the real question is
will you let this seed take root? Every voice will tell you why this is not for
you, but God wants to do something amazing in your life. Why don’t you get into
agreement with Him and say, “God, this is for me today. I’m raising my
expectations. I’m shaking off doubt, negativity, disappointment, self-pity,
little dreams and little goals. God, I’m going to make room for a flood of Your
goodness!”
PRAYER
FOR TODAY
Father, I believe that You
want to do something amazing in my life. I surrender my thoughts, words and
attitudes to You. Have Your way in me and overwhelm me with Your goodness in
Jesus’ Name! Amen.

“Understanding your Word brings light to the minds of ordinary people.” (Psalm 119:130 CEV)
Everyone needs light. You need physical light to make sure you can see the world around you, to avoid running into obstacles.
Through his Word, God wants to provide light for your mind, too. The Bible says, “Understanding your Word brings light to the minds of ordinary people” (Psalm 119:130 CEV).
God wants to give light — his light — to every single person. He wants to light up our minds with the truth of who he is and his next step for our lives.
Biblical meditation is often the key to turning on that light. You have to soak your mind in the light. Biblical meditation isn’t losing your mind to the universe; it’s focusing it on the Word of God. When you do that, you bring light to your life.
Through his Word, God helps you to see life through a different perspective. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” God’s Word gives us direction in life; it shows us the path God wants us on.
When that psalm was written, the “lamp” was a candle in a lamp people would carry around. Today, it would be a flashlight. If you hold a flashlight and you want more light down your path, you have to take the next step. Many times I’ve been stuck and looking for a light from God for my whole path. But God gives us just enough light for the next step. You take that next step, and God gives you light for the step after that.
One of the best ways to turn on the light of God’s Word is to pray God’s Word, like Psalm 119:18: “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” You want to see wonderful things from God’s Word, right? Ask God to open your eyes to what he wants to do through your life.
He’s ready to turn the light on.
Talk About It
- How has God seemed like a mystery to you? In those times, did you turn to God’s Word for answers?
- Do you just wait for God to make something clear, or do you ask him for his clarity and discernment?
- What do you think the difference is between reading the Bible and biblical meditation?
