Devotional for Tuesday February 10th

Good Morning Everyone,

Our theme for this month: “Healthy Living”

Our Bible verse for today: “I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 (HCSB)

Our thought for today: “God has good things planned for you.”

In Psalm 27:13 King David had a sense of eager expectation that God had some good things in store for him. But David wasn’t talking about good things waiting for him in eternity – he was talking about in the here and now, in the land of the living. David clearly was expecting to be blessed by God now. And you can too.

If you have sought and embraced God-given goals, and if you are in the process of doing your part to fulfill those goals, then you can expect to be blessed by God. Remember, God has things that He wants to bring about in your life. This is His plan. And so as long as you are doing your part, He will orchestrate events as necessary to bring about the results that He desires.

Sometimes that’s hard for us to believe, especially if the thing God has us pursing is big and is going to take time. Often it can seem impossible. But the good news is, Jesus reminded us in Matthew 19:26, that with God, nothing is impossible.

The great missionary to China, Hudson Taylor, used to teach his students that when it comes to God’s plan unfolding in your life there are three stages we typically go through – impossible, possible, done. When we first consider this thing God has for us we can often conclude that it’s impossible. That’s because we’re viewing it from a human perspective. We’re thinking about what we are able to accomplish in our own power and with our own abilities.

But then we remember that with God nothing is impossible and therefore if He’s in it, it is in fact possible. From that point we’re not far from, “Done!”

Impossible, possible, done!

God has good things planned for you – now – in the land of the living. Seek His plan, embrace it, do your part, and then have faith that in His way, and in His time, it will come to pass.

God Bless,
Pastor Jim
