心得 for Get into Position by Joe Osteen

記得聖經裡好像有一句話,不論得時或不得時,都要稱頌主,我想應該就是這個意思,特別是當沒有得到自己想要的,不管是將來會不會得到,這時候若還能稱頌主,那才顯示得出信心,看得見而相信是遠不如沒有看見就相信的,所謂信心是根植於看不到所建立的信念,若看得到那已經是事實了,何需信心,更悲慘的是,都已經顯明給你看了卻還不相信

Get into Position

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth…"

(Isaiah 54:1, NLT)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Sometimes, when we don't see our dreams and desires coming to pass, we can feel empty and barren like a woman who is unable to have children. But look at what this verse is saying: if you've got unborn promises, don't just sit around in defeat. Don't just give up and say, "Too bad for me." No, God says when you're barren, the first thing you need to do is sing a song of praise. You might think, "Well, Joel, I'm kind of depressed today. I'll sing after I have my 'baby.'" No, this passage wasn't written to people who were holding their baby and had seen their dreams come to pass. It was written to empty-armed people; people who didn't have what they were believing for. Do you know why? When you're giving God praise, do you know what you are doing? You are activating your faith and putting yourself into position to give birth to that promise. You are setting yourself up for God to move on your behalf.

Why don't you get into position today by singing a song of praise? All throughout the day, thank Him for what He is doing in your life and watch those dreams and desires come to pass.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father in heaven, I surrender all my questions, all my doubts, all my fears to You today. I know that You have a plan to fulfill every dream and desire in my heart. I choose to sing praises to You this day and thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
