Psalm 121:1 – “I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”

What a day to be alive on planet Earth!   This is the day the Lord has made, and we have the privilege, choice, and opportunity to rejoice and be glad as we watch the Mighty Hand of God work on our behalf today!  

Today provides a golden opportunity to worship. Each week, we have the opportunity to join those of like precious faith and experience the rich presence of the LORD.   Some cannot attend congregational gatherings due to physical illnesses or other situations.   You may be alone, but you are never alone if Jesus lives in your heart and you have the Holy Spirit with and in you.  Therefore, rejoice.  He is Always Near!

As I prayed, read, and considered the Word this morning, the Holy Spirit directed my thoughts to the incredible forgetfulness of so many regarding God’s goodness.  Israel continually focused on themselves in both Egypt and the Wilderness, forgetting the miracles and making the moment the focus. 

The apostles did the same.  Jesus fed the 5,000; shortly after that, the 4,000 needed to be fed. Even after those miracles, the disciples continued to think only in natural terms of provision, forgetting the miracle of supply.  Then, shortly after that, in the boat, when Jesus warned the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, they turned their minds to the natural and their failure to bring more than one loaf of bread.  

Their forgetfulness caused them to revert to natural thinking rather than the unlimitedness of God’s supply.  We do the same.  It is almost “What Have You Done for Me Lately?” rather than allowing what He has done and Who He is to inspire us to greater dimensions of Faith and Trust.   In God, there is no lack because He is the supply! 

Today, as you face whatever you face, face it with the consciousness of God’s unlimitedness!  Jesus is the same, past, present, and future; nothing is impossible for or with God!   Also, nothing is impossible for us if we believe!   Let’s set our hearts to remember what He has done, refresh in our hearts and minds Who He is, and train ourselves to remember and rejoice!   He Never Fails!

Today would be a great day to determine in our hearts that we will not forget His benefits, faithfulness, and unlimitedness.  Rejoice; he has never and will never fail us!  Trust Him and determine that what you see or feel will not define you, but what He says will be your guide and anchor.  We walk by Faith, not by Sight.  If He promised it, you can take it to the bank; He will do what He promised!

We readily believe God’s Word for Salvation; why not for everything else?  If He is eternally the same, then what He did, He does, what He said, He says, and who He was, He is!  Why Not Press into the Promises and Learn to Live in the Kingdom here on Earth?

Victory is Ours Today!
