Words Of Encouragement To Start The Day (Thursday 12/31/09)

Today’s Devotional Written by a Young Woman of Devotion and Increasing Revelation: Tracy Koweh

Your Future is Waiting on You

John 14:29 (New Living Translation)

29 I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.

Like most, I’ve heard the saying- - - -“Your past is behind you, Your future is in front of you, so enjoy the present because it’s a present/gift from God.” Well, yesterday God gave me a totally different perspective on the term “present”.

The morning was very peaceful and quiet because most commuters on my route are on holiday leave right now. So with the tranquility of the ride into work, my spirit was able to soak up all that God was pouring into me. Recently I find myself in a crazy place in my life. I have so much love in my heart and home, and yet so many haters trying to kill my joy. The more they come against me, the more they are only defeating themselves.

So this morning I thanked God for allowing me to be in a place of peace and sanity while all hell was trying to come against me. But I couldn’t help but ask God, why was this test so different. Why hadn’t the opinions of others been able to shake or break me like times before. And He simply told me it’s because I’ve come to trust in Him and His ability to bring me through whatever and whoever may come against me. He said that I had finally got to a place where I recognized that my present was PRE-sent before I was even in my mothers’ womb.

So many times we allow people and distractions to make us forget that nothing is new under the sun to God. Nothing is shocking to Him. No test or trial is strong enough to break us. If we begin to enter every situation in our lives, good and bad, with the mind-set that its apart of our destiny and that God has already signed off on it, we will save ourselves a lot of headaches, heartaches and time.

Today as we enter into the last day of this year, let us know that every devil and blessing that has our name on it, is already waiting on us. Don’t walk in fear, walk by faith. Don’t procrastinate, pray. Don’t walk away, walk with God. Don’t regret, re-evaluate. You have a date with destiny……………don’t be late. Have a Happy New Year
