God is at Work for You




Today's Scripture
“I know what I am planning for you,” says the Lord. “I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future” Jeremiah 29:11 (NCV).

Today's Word from Joel
Too often, we think God is just out there - watching and waiting for us to get things right. God is a big God, but He loves you and He wants to help bring the best things possible into your life. God is at work in your life each and every day, blessing you and preparing you for great and wonderful things that you can’t even imagine! Your entire perspective will radically change when you realize God is in your everyday experiences. Even when we are not completely faithful to Him, He is always faithful to us! Make God your hope and rely solely on Him, and He’ll faithfully work things out that will bless you, protect you and encourage you!

A Prayer for Today
God, thank You for always having my best in mind. I know that You love me and want the best for Your children. Help me to be faithful to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Keep the Faith



I read somewhere that “By Faith, by vigour or courage, by memory of having experienced the self and through the deep state of equanimity, a state of heightened awareness is gained”

Faith makes your consciousness stable, steady and solid. Doubt in the consciousness makes you vulnerable, fearful and uncertain.Faith brings out the totality in you. It pulls together all loose ends of consciousness.it integrates your whole personality.Doubt scatters you. Doubt destroys you.doubt disseminates you and your energy.doubt is something that pulls you apart. Dissemination of energy is doubt.
Consolidation of energy is faith… the very feeling of your having faith is a sort of consolidation. That is why Jesus always said that faith is your strength. They are synonymous – faith and strength.

When you are strong and bold, you have faith, when you are weak and feeble you have doubts. Doubt is a sign of weakness. When there is faith, then equanimity is also achieved.
