Hello friends of Thrive. I pray you had a Christmas that reminded you of how much God adores you!
The reading from the One Year Bible that stuck out to me was from Zechariah 10:12 NLT
"By my power I will make my people strong,
and by my authority they will go wherever they wish.
I, the LORD, have spoken. "
I like how it says that our strength comes from His power. I find it so difficult to remember that I don't have to "be strong" and help God out. All I have to do is surrender my will to His and follow His leading.
The next sentence of the verse ties in with the concept of being led. By His authority, we can go wherever we want. How about you? Where would you like to go? For me, it's an easy answer-wherever He leads! Anywhere in His will is far better than everywhere outside of His will.
My Prayer for Today : Lord, may the strength you give me be used to go where you want me to go and do what you want me to do. By your Spirit, help me to eliminate self will and self serving as I prepare my heart for the upcoming year.
Amen
