Today God says:
"I give My favour to you"
He promises me:
"A good man obtains favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will He condemn". (Prov. 12:22)
My response to the word:
I will walk in the goodness of God throughout this day. The Lord gives His wonderful favour to those who walk in goodness. I will remember that the best way to escape evil is to pursue good and that goodness consists not so much in the outward things I do, but in the inward attitudes of my heart.
My prayer:
God, my loving Father, thank you for your goodness. Fill me with your Spirit so that I will be enabled to walk in goodness throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"You bless righteous people, O Lord. Like a large shield, you surround them with your favour". (Ps. 5:12 GW) "Then you will find favour and much success in the sight of God and humanity". (Prov. 3:4 GW) "Whoever finds Me finds life and obtains favour from the Lord". (Prov. 8:35 GW)
Quote for today:
I looked at God, and He looked at me, and we were one forever. (Charles Spurgeon)
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".
