“The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” Ezekiel 37:28

One day soon this prophecy will come true and will become history! With that said the bible has about three hundred prophecies of Jesus that have come to pass, that are no longer prophecies but history! The same is true for you and I today, we all are going through life’s situations good or bad, but know this they will all eventually become history!

“And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me, says the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23

Seventy five years ago Israel becoming a nation was just a thought a prophecy, today seventy years later its history! Thats how we need to look at our problems and struggles, just keep pressing forward to the LORD, and eventually all things become history!

“Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5

Our future with the LORD is filled with everlasting life, so today no matter what you maybe struggling with, Remember your future with the LORD is looking bright! Have a blessed day, knowing what the LORD says always comes to pass!

“Then Joesph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s household with bread, according to the number in their families.” Genesis 47:12

We see around us today a spiritual famine happening. The concerns of the majority of the world is wrapped around finances and getting ahead, not the LORD and getting spiritually fed! Joseph provides the physical bread his family needed to live, the LORD will provide us with the bread of life that we actually long for!

“And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” John 6:35

If you are feeling hungry and thirsty because of the spiritual famine that is happening around us! All you need to do is simply go to the LORD and He will provide for you and your family!

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Everything we really need is in the LORD, seek Him today and watch how He fills your every need! Have a blessed day in Him.

“So He said, I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there.”

Genesis 46:3

As Jacob goes into Egypt (the world) God is with him, the same goes for you and me today! We all have to go out into the world as we go to work, school or just into town, remember God is with you!

“The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.”

Psalm 46:11

Often times as we are out and about just doing our daily life we have a tendency to forget that the LORD is with us! We can be at work and get frustrated and start to sound worldly, at school and start speaking like the lost or out in town and start acting like the world around us, Remember the LORD is right there!

“For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.” Job 34:21

Today as your out and about, remember the LORD is right there seeing and hearing what you say and do! So let us find comfort and refuge in the fact that the LORD is always with us. Remembering He knows all and sees all, So do not fear as we go out into the world today, but be mindful that the LORD is near! Have a blessed day!

“But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; God sent me before you to preserve life.” Genesis 45:5

Here we see that it can be real easy to focus on the problems of life; relational, vocational, financial and health problems that come up! Instead let us focus on the LORD who knows how every situation is going to workout!

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Genesis 50:20

Today let us just focus on the LORD, not the obstacles that are around us, instead look at obstacles as guides to get us where the LORD wants us to be! Don’t get caught up in what other people believe or do, but get caught up in the LORD and walk in His ways!

“And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation.” Psalm 35:9

Realize every situation in life is ordained by the LORD, so don’t waste your time trying to work things out on your own. Instead spend that time just simply seeking and worshipping the LORD, it’s always going to be time well spent! Have a blessed day in Him!

“Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.”

Genesis 44:33

Here we see Judah ready to give up his own life for Benjamin’s to somehow pay for all their mistakes! We all can look back at our lives and see all the mistakes we’ve made and would like to go back and correct them, to make things right! Realize even in our mistakes the LORD is leading us!

“Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.” Psalm 139:10

Often times our mistakes can lead us to the right place, right where the LORD wants us to be, right to the place where He can use us for His purposes! Our mistakes usually lead us to a mess, but our messes the LORD somehow uses for His glory!

“The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” Nahum 1:7

So today instead of looking at our mess and be in distress, look to the LORD and trust Him. Watch how He can take your mess and somehow bless! Just keep your eyes on the LORD not your messy situation whether it’s your fault or not! Have a blessed day in the LORD!
