Daily Devotion for 2/2/11 God Wants You to Succeed

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Everyone!! Happy Wednesday and second day of Black History Month...

Lets get right to it!

Today's Lesson: God Wants You to Succeed
Scripture Reference: Psalms 35:27


“The Lord...has pleasure in [our] prosperity” (John 10:10)

God delights in seeing His children succeed; I mean really, what parent wouldn't? In Matthew 7:11, Jesus spoke these words :If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?" When David wanted to build a temple, God chose Solomon to build it instead. There will be times when our plans and desires differ from God's, so it is important that we consult him before we make any decisions or any moves.

God reveals His plan ONE step at a time so if your desire for something persists, it's definitely an indication that God is the head of it, and is leading you. So remember to look for the signs, evaluate everything through prayer, and listen to the Holy Spirit. That's what he's there for :) Remember to reject the feedback that breeds doubt, and cultivate an instant response from God. If you ask God for wisdom on the matter, expect it! God will use other people to impart wisdom to us so don't be so selective on who you choose to listen to. Remember the parable of when God spoke through a jackass and changed history!

Wisdom is the ability to see and interpret things through God's eyes. When we were saved, God renewed our minds. It became the drawing board for our future. Make mind management one of your top priorities: "Whatsoever things are...good...think on these things" (Phillipians 4:8) Refuse to stay bogged down! Tell failure to move out of your way!
