Celebrate
Others
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
Rejoice with those who rejoice…
Romans 12:15, NKJV.
TODAY’S
WORD
When a friend or family member succeeds, gets promoted,
or experiences an unexpected break in life, how do you respond?
Some people wonder, “What about me?” Others criticize or
say, “It won’t last long.” But really, the way you respond to other’s success
will determine the level of your own success. Whether you respond in a negative
or positive way, you are sowing seeds for your future. That’s why scripture
tells us simply to “rejoice with those who rejoice.” God wants you to be
successful. His commands are for your good. He doesn’t want jealousy or strife
to enter your life or rob you of His blessing.
Today, make it a point to find someone who is celebrating
and celebrate with them. Congratulate them on their success no matter how small
it seems in the natural. Rejoice with those who rejoice, sow seeds of blessing,
and open the door for victory in your own life in return!
PRAYER
FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for Your hand of blessing not only on
my life but on the lives of the people around me. I choose to rejoice in You,
and I choose to rejoice over Your victory everywhere I go in Jesus’ Name! Amen!

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2 NLT)
No matter what you face in the future, you will never face it alone. Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (NLT).
This is the key to courage: There is nothing to fear when you know God is near. On your own you might drown, but God has said in Hebrews 13:5, “I will never abandon you or leave you” (GW). Some of you feel alone right now. You may feel it, but you’re not! You’re not alone. God sees what you’re going through. God cares about what you’re going through. God’s going through that situation with you, and he will help you out if you trust him. Remember, one plus God equals a majority.
Satan will plan all kinds of seeds of doubt and fear in your mind like, “What if you lose your job?” “What if you get sick?” “What if you’re incapacitated?” “What if the economy tanks?” You may face anxiety from other sources as well. What you need to do is remember God promised to never abandon you and to always be with you. You don’t have to know what the future holds because you know who holds the future.
