Strength for Today

Deuteronomy 11:8 Therefore, be careful to obey every command I am giving you today, so you may have strength to go in and take over the land you are about to enter.

Today is your day to take possession of that thing that the LORD has promised you, but it will require obedience and strength.  Obedience requires careful attention to and diligent follow-through with every command from the LORD.  It is so easy to get distracted by what is going on in the world today, but the man who is single-minded is focused on attaining the promises of God.  Ten of the twelve men Moses sent to spy out the “Promise Land” were distracted by the inhabitants of the land.  There will always be distractions along the way to your promise land, but they are no match for the LORD.  Strength comes from the LORD.  To activate His strength, you must set your spirit, soul (mind, will, and emotions) and body to obey every command that He gives you today.  Scripture tells us that the steps of a good man are ordered by God.  Be careful to take each step that He tells you to take.  Today is not the day to play “Hop-Scotch” skipping over steps to get to the end.  Each step is equally and critically important.  God is preparing you for a brighter future.  Be careful to do your part by obeying every command of the LORD.  The LORD is faithful.  He will strengthen you each step of the way as He leads you to the land of promise and abundant provision.

Prayer for today:  Father, I agree with you.  Today is my day.  Help me, I pray to be single-minded and focused on obeying your every command. Thank you for strengthening me with every step I take.  In JESUS name, AMEN. 

Whatever you must do today, there is a grace for that.  Accept the grace and make it a sweatless day.

Love
