TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”
(Isaiah 43:18, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
The Bible tells us that every person, no matter how much faith they have or how good they are, will face disappointments. It may be something simple like not getting a promotion you hoped for, or not closing a business deal you worked so hard on. Maybe you didn’t qualify for a house you really wanted, or maybe something more serious happened like a relationship not working out, the death of a loved one, or some kind of illness in your body. Whatever it may be, the reality is that we’re all going to suffer some setbacks. No matter what has happened, one of the main keys to overcoming disappointments is learning to let go of the past.
If you feel “stuck” today, you may want to examine what you’re holding on to. Be willing let go of past disappointments by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God’s forgiveness? Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the bright future God has in store for you! There is freedom in forgetting!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, search my heart and mind today. Show me any area where I may be holding on to the past. Help me receive Your forgiveness so that I can extend forgiveness to others and forget the former things and move forward in Your blessing in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
Amen.
Jesus, through his life, death and resurrection, has purchased for all of us, the rewards of God’s heavenly kingdom. If we ask him, he will release us from all feelings of disappointment, bitterness and resentment which are unnecessary burdens. We must always remember that we are heirs to his blessed kingdom. We are princes and princesses in a kingdom that has no end. We should keep our eyes on this prize!

It is better to be a Lazarus, humble yourself. Start by calling yourself Chongo, and remove your DR.
Just because Jesus died then you should be showing off like Kabimba.
A word of ecouragement indeed Amen
