Keep Moving Onwards To Greater Things in Christ =D
I felt so encouraged by this devotional by Joel Osteen. Decided to post this up on the blog as not everyone has access to youtube or have been to his website.
Be edified! =D

Today’s Verse:
"You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed” (Psalm 139:16, NLT).
Today’s Word:
Did you know that God has already recorded every part of your life from the beginning to the end? He knows every disappointment, every loss, every challenge; and the good news is that your story ends in victory! God has written out a plan to bless and prosper you. Your final chapter concludes with you fulfilling your God-given destiny. Here’s the key: when you go through a disappointment, when you go through a loss, don’t stop on that page in your life. You’ve got to decide to keep moving forward. There’s another chapter in front of you, but you’ve got to be willing to take the next step.
Sometimes, we get so focused on what didn’t work out that we stay stuck, reliving the disappointment. If that’s you, recognize that you’ve been on that page long enough. It’s time to let it go and turn the page to the new chapter God has in store. You may not understand, it may not have been fair, but remember, the next chapter is full of blessing, full of favor, and full of victory! Make the decision to let go of the old so you can move forward into the abundant life God has in store for you!
Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for the good plan You have for me. Today, I lay aside the disappointments of the past knowing that You have blessing in store for my future. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. =D

Amen Sister. What you say its true, every christian at a stage of our life will face a stumbling stone yet we do not stop there for long because the next page of our life might be more exciting. I believe God set us up for greater blessing, we will be more blessing and glorious until the perfect day!

AMEN Jim & Winnie! =D
ReplyDeleteI love the way God writes my story. He worked on my uphill struggle in the spiritual journey first and then then the physical blessings and spiritual blessings that came about from the revelation, understanding and believing in the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ.
God is the BEST author and finisher... Amen? =D Hallelujah!
