Today God says:
"I am understanding and I have strength"
He promises me:
"Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength". (Prov. 8:14)
My response to the word:
The Lord is my wonderful Counsellor. I will go to Him with my needs, and I know He will meet each and every one. He provides me with sound wisdom as I need it, and He is my everlasting strength. Throughout this day, therefore, I will not pray to have an easy life; rather I will pray that I might become a stronger person.
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, you are my strength. I will lean upon you today for all the understanding and strength I need.
Today's scriptures:
"He will be named: Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace". (Isa 9:6 GW) "You will know the confidence that He calls you to have and the glorious wealth that God's people will inherit". (Eph. 1:8 GW) "So don't be foolish, but understand what the Lord wants" (Eph. 5:17 GW)
Quote for today:
Knowing your strength makes you confident; forgetting your weakness makes you vulnerable. (Grit)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
