Thought for the day
Haggai 1:8‘Go up … and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the LORD.’– Oftentimes life calls for action and deliberate steps.– We cannot always be passive and just wait for things to fall into our laps.– We need to step forward, under God’s direction, and do what honours Him.– We can be a part of something bigger than ourselves when we do what pleases God.Prayer: Lord, I ask that You would give me the courage and the strength to step forward and begin to build. I choose to do what honours and pleases You. Show me the way I should go so that You can be glorified. Amen.
Psalm 5:12
‘Surely, LORD, You bless the righteous (godly); You surround them with Your favour as with a shield.’
– Surely, the blessing of the Lord rests on you.
– Our choices and our obedience result in blessing.
– This blessing includes provision, protection and well-being.
– His favour surrounds you like a shield, because He loves you.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your blessing on my life. I choose to live in right-standing with You and to honour You with my life. Come, and surround me with Your favour. Your favour brings the comfort and assurance that You will always be with me, especially in times of trouble. Amen.
