Today’s Word
Today’s Scripture
But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands.”
Psalm 31:14–15, NLT

In His Hands
Don’t judge your life by one season of frustrations and disappointments. You don’t know what God is up to, so let it unfold. He can see the big picture that you can’t see right now. There may be things that don’t make sense. You did the right thing, but the wrong thing happened. God is still in control. What looks like a setback is really a setup that’s positioning you for new levels of your destiny. You’re going to see the hand of God do things you didn’t see coming.

David declared that his future had already been set in God’s hands. Quit worrying about tomorrow. Your future is set. What God has purposed will come to pass. He’s already lined up good breaks, the right people, and solutions to your problems. He’s already worked out what you’re worried about. It’s a part of His divine plan. Why don’t you come back to a place of peace, a place of faith. He didn’t bring you this far to leave you now. What He started He will finish.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You know best when it comes to the things I want and ask You for. Thank You that You are directing my steps, and You take me through the things I don’t understand. I declare that You alone are my God, and my future is set in Your hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Let me share something powerful with you about righteousness. In Romans 10:6, God’s Word tells us that the “righteousness of faith speaks.”

Now, what does this mean? It means that God encourages us to not just believe in our hearts that we are righteous but to also speak it out!

So righteous one, declare your righteousness. Every day, boldly say, “Father, I thank You that I am righteous in Christ, not because of what I have done, but because of what Christ has done. It’s a gift and I receive it with all my heart.”

I believe that when you speak and declare your righteousness, good things happen. You become conscious of all the blessings and all the promises that are due the righteous.

Instead of disqualifying yourself, you’ll start to believe God for good success, favor, and wisdom. Experiencing provision becomes effortless because you know your right standing in Christ. So stop disqualifying yourself and confess your righteousness!
