The Fullness of the Blessing

The Fullness of the Blessing TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: " But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ." (Romans 15:29, NKJ). TODAY'S WORD: Are you living in the fullness of His blessing? God’s blessing is His supernatural empowerment. It is His favor. And we’ve all seen a measure of His blessing, but I believe He wants to take you to a whole new level. God has promises and opportunities in store for you that you haven’t even thought of yet! What you’ve seen in the past is only a fraction of what God wants to do in your future. Understand that God likes to outdo Himself. He wants to open doors for you and bring out talents and abilities that you didn’t even know you had. We serve a God of abundance! He is the God of more than enough. Not only does He want to meet your needs, He wants to give you enough to bless other people. That’s living in the fullness of the blessing. Today, don’t settle where you are. Your destiny is not determined by the economy, your past or what anyone else thinks or says. Your destiny is determined by Almighty God. He wants you to tap into a greater measure of His power so you can live the abundant life He has in store for you! PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father in heaven, I come before You today with an open and humble heart, ready to receive all You have for me. Teach me to live a life that is pleasing to You so that I can be an example of Your love in the world around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

An Attitude of Gratitude Leads to Greater Health by Rick Warren “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV) As God continues to help you grow and get healthier through the Daniel Plan, you’ll want to make a regular practice of telling God “thank you” for what he is doing. The Bible tells us to “rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV). You see, the healthiest human emotion isn’t love but gratitude. Gratitude actually increases your immunities. It makes you more resistant to stress and less susceptible to illness. People who are grateful are happy because they are satisfied with what they have. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude reduces stress in your life and leads to greater spiritual and physical health. You can’t just be thankful when your Daniel Plan journey — or life in general — is going well. Gratitude must become a habit and continue even through difficult times in your life. As part of your regular time with God each morning, take some time to list everything you’re thankful for. When you make this habit part of your life, you will begin to notice more of what God is doing in and through you. Talk It Over What are the first five things that come to mind for which you are thankful? What are the first five things that come to mind that you see as negative, challenging, or frustrating? Ask God to open your eyes to small blessings about each of those trying circumstances, and share a word of gratitude for each one.
