When Jesus was crucified on the cross, not only did He wash away all your sins with His precious blood, but He also gave you His very own righteousness as a gift (2 Cor. 5:21). Do you know that you can never lose this righteousness? Your righteousness is a gift from Jesus because it is entirely dependent on His perfect performance and His perfect obedience, not yours.

Today’s Word
Today’s Scripture
“I am the LORD, and when it is time, I will make these things happen quickly.”
Isaiah 60:22, NCV

It Can Happen Quickly
When we look at the dreams we want to accomplish and problems we’re hoping will turn around, it can seem like it’s going to take a long time—years to get out of debt, years to recover from a sickness, years to see your business grow. But God doesn’t always follow a normal timeline. He says, “When the time is right, I will do it quickly.” He knows how to speed things up. He knows how to accelerate your dreams, accelerate your healing, accelerate what you’re believing for. He has fast-forward moments of favor coming your way when He will catapult you ahead.

This is why you can’t judge your future based on the progress you’ve seen in the past. Everything seems routine. You’re going along at the same pace and making the same progress. Then out of nowhere, one good break, one contract, one door opens, and you’re suddenly twenty years down the road. Suddenly you’re in management, suddenly you break the addiction, suddenly a relationship is restored. You didn’t see it coming, and you can’t explain it. It’s God accelerating things, propelling you forward.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have fast-forward moments of favor with breakthroughs that change what has seemed unchangeable. Thank You that You’re orchestrating what You’ve ordained for my life to be fulfilled. I believe that You will make quick work of what could take years. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

When Jesus was crucified on the cross, not only did He wash away all your sins with His precious blood, but He also gave you His very own righteousness as a gift (2 Cor. 5:21). Do you know that you can never lose this righteousness? Your righteousness is a gift from Jesus because it is entirely dependent on His perfect performance and His perfect obedience, not yours.

So my friend, because you are forever righteous in Christ, God hears your prayers every time you pray. Apostle James tells us that the earnest prayer of a righteous man—that’s you—”produces wonderful results”. Not just plain results, but wonderful results!

What provision do you need today, righteous one? Favor for an interview, wisdom to clear your debts, healing for your children? As a righteous man or woman of God, boldly ask Jesus for what you need in prayer!
