<Yesterday    Tomorrow>

Today God says:
 "I will renew your youth like the eagles".

He promises me:
  "Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's". (Ps. 103:5)

My response to the word:
  God supplies all my needs. He satisfies me with so many good things, and He promises to rejuvenate me with His power. Paul wrote, "But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you".

My prayer:
  Thank you, Lord, for satisfying my mouth with good things, and for renewing my youth like the eagle's. I will praise you for your blessings throughout this day.

Today's scriptures:
 "Then the One who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who lives in you". (Rom. 8:11 GW) "All this is for your sake so that, as God's kindness overflows in the lives of many people, it will produce even more thanksgiving to the glory of God. That is why we are not discouraged". (2 Cor. 4:15,16 GW) "However, you were taught to have a new attitude". (Eph. 4:23 GW)  

Quote for today:
Even the soil becomes depleted if it tries to produce without a season of rest. (T D Jakes)
