TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted
in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many
new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives."
John 12:24, NLT

TODAY'S WORD:
Are you frustrated because a dream isn't happening on your
timetable? It's good to be passionate about your dreams, but did you
know a dream can become an idol? If that's all you think about and
you're not going to be happy unless it happens your way, that's out of
balance. The fact is, sometimes you have to put that dream on the altar.
Sometimes we hold on to things so tightly, but when we let
them go, that's when God can bring them to pass. If you'll release that
frustration and not let it become the center of your attention, that's
when God can begin to move. Take that same time and energy to thank God
that He's directing your steps and watch how it opens the door for God
to give you the desires of your heart.
We have to remember, God already knows what we want and
what we are in need of. He's the One who put those desires in us. We
shouldn't be consumed with trying to make things happen. Instead, a
greater act of faith is to be happy right where you are! Stay open and
trust God because He has good plans in store for your future!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, today I release my dreams and desires like a seed
falling to the ground. I know that You have a good plan for my future,
and I trust that Your plans will unfold in every area of my life in
Jesus' name. Amen."
