TODAY'S WORD

From Joel & Victoria Osteen

Brighter Days Ahead

Today's Scripture

“The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day” (Proverbs 4:18, NLT).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Are you facing a situation that seems dark today? As a believer, God promises that your path will shine brighter and brighter as you seek His Truth and righteousness in every situation. What is righteousness? Righteousness is simply being in "right standing" with God. Being in "right standing" with God is about submitting your life to Him. It's about obeying His commands and seeking His plan for your life on a daily basis. God wants to be involved in every detail of your life. It pleases Him when you come to Him. It pleases Him when you study your Bible and talk to Him in prayer. And just as the increasing light of the sun helps you see better in the natural, the increasing light of God's Word will guide you in every decision you have to make. No matter what you may be facing today, take time to ask the Lord to shine His light on your thoughts. Ask Him to confirm His plan for your today. Ask Him to shine the light of His Word in your heart so that you can clearly see the next step to take. As you continue pursing His Truth and Righteousness, you will experience more of His blessings and live the life of abundance that He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

God, I know that You have a wonderful plan and purpose for me. I want to be in "right standing" with You today. Show me your ways and teach me to walk righteously before you. Shine your light in my heart and give me strength and wisdom to pursue the path You have in-store for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
