Today’s Scripture
“The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace’…”
(Haggai 2:9, NIV)
Greater Than the Past
We are living in a day where God is increasing His favor. He wants to amaze you with His goodness. Maybe you have seen God’s goodness to a certain degree. In reality, you haven’t seen anything yet! God has favor in your future that will supersede anything that you’ve seen in the past.
The scripture talks about how the glory of the latter day will be greater than the glory of the former day. That means what God did for your parents or grandparents, He’s going to surpass in your generation. The blessing and favor of past generations was good, but we serve a God of increase! He has greater things in store for your future!
Today, get your hopes up. Enlarge your vision. Be expecting God to bring opportunities across your path. Expect to meet the right people and get the right breaks. Prepare your heart and mind to receive the increase and blessing God has for your future!
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for being the God of increase. I trust that You have great things in store for my future. I surrender every area of my mind, will and emotions as I wait on You in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
“We cannot solve our problems – much less the world’s – through prayer. We often see people with good intentions praying for victims in the wake of a tragedy, but prayer is useless without action, and those actions make the prayers irrelevant. To paraphrase the great Robert Green Ingersoll, hands that help are far better than lips that pray.”
“When it comes down to it, prayer is illogical, even in religious terms. If God has a plan, why try to thwart it? If God can be swayed by prayers, what kind of God would allow the horrors we see in the world?”
So what’s your solution, just sit back and do nothing because it is God’s will?
Prayers become actions, and through actions the world is transformed for the better.
“It’s hard to accept that there isn’t some invisible friend or father figure in the sky who loves you and is going to help you, but it’s part of growing up.
Facing reality is hard. It’s not fun, and it’s not comforting.
Atheists are the only grown ups in the world.”
That’s a classic straw man argument. The simple-minded God you don’t believe in is the same God many religious people don’t believe in either.
Not content with one logical fallacy, you add another: hasty generalization.
Belief In ‘GOD’ tends to depend largely upon which religion your parents or close acquaintances hold and is highly geographic. What religion you u are is generally decided where you are born.
This is where my main concern is as children are vulnerable and open to indoctrination.
Nothing is impossible with God! Many thanks God for your glory! Amen!
