He knows how to provide you with what seems impossible. He knows how to turn your child around

Today’s Scripture
The LORD brought his people safely out from Egypt, loaded with silver and gold.
Psalm 105:37, NLT

Mind-Boggling
God told Abraham that for four hundred years his descendants would be enslaved, but afterward they would come out with great abundance (Gen. 15:13–14), which is exactly what happened. As slaves, they had no money, no resources, and nothing looked as though they would leave loaded with silver and gold. But on their way out, God caused them to have favor with their oppressors who gave them their valuables. God promised this many generations before, but it didn’t make sense in that moment.

We can only see a small part of God’s plan. He’s looking back four hundred years, and He’s looking ahead four hundred years. He has some things in your future that are going to boggle your mind. He knows how to provide you with what seems impossible. He knows how to turn your child around, how to restore your health, how to cause people to favor you, how to open doors you couldn’t open. He’s been working for generations, getting you ready for this moment of favor and increase. It’s the hand of God doing things you never saw coming.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for how Your strong hand is working out Your plan for my life. Thank You for the open doors, the promotion, the healing, and good breaks that You’ve already put in place to come my way. I believe that for generations You have been lovingly maneuvering things in my favor. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

SECTION TWO

In many places there are believers who still think that God is mad at them whenever they fail. They simply don’t have a revelation of the gospel of grace and what God’s unconditional love means. Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–27), such believers still do not understand the grace of our Lord and what He has done for them at the cross.

Then there are believers who know about the gospel of grace and who even know that God loves them unconditionally. However, this knowing is only in their heads. When they fail, even though they have the knowledge of grace, they are nevertheless still afraid to come with boldness to God’s throne of grace to receive mercy, favor, healing, and restoration.

Beloved, God doesn’t want you slow of heart to believe His promise of abundant grace and gift of righteousness to reign in this life. Knowing God’s truths and the gospel of grace intellectually is not enough. You have to be quick to believe everything that Jesus has accomplished on the cross for you, especially when you are struggling with failure, guilt, and fear.

God doesn’t want you defeated because of a lack of knowledge of His grace. At the same time, He wants you to be quick in believing in His promises for you.

This is why we study God’s Word. It is not to merely accumulate Bible knowledge and historical facts, but to have a constant revelation of Jesus that feeds our quick and right believing in Him.

And how do we do this? We can start by asking the Holy Spirit. Many times when studying the Word, I would pray this simple prayer: “Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see Jesus in the Word today.”

That is what it’s all about—seeing Jesus. When you see Him in the Scriptures through the lens of grace, faith will arise and your mind will be renewed with His truths and promises for you.

My friend, I’m sure you have already learned many things about God’s love for you. If you want to see the power of right believing operating in every dimension of your life, I challenge you to believe in His grace, His love, His righteousness, His forgiveness, and His finished work.

I promise you that you will be transformed beyond your wildest imagination if you dare to lean hard on His love for you. His love never fails!
