Uplifting

I had an email message waiting for me this morning that moved me to tears. My dear mother-in-law thoughtfully passed along to Greg and I a message from her daily devotional. The message is simple and true and is so uplifting to my spirit! Here it is!

Today's Scripture

"For the vision is yet for an appointed time...though it
tarry, wait for it" (Habakkuk 2:3 KJV).

Your time is coming! The dreams and desires, the things you want to
accomplish, the situations you want to see changed will happen. Just
because it has taken a long time, or because you've tried and
failed, don't give up on those dreams. Don't be complacent
about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. I encourage you
today -- get your fire back! It may be taking a long time, but
God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter
how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is
coming. Every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has
taken root, God not only put it there, but He has every intention of
bringing it to pass. Start declaring today, "My time is
coming... God is working behind the scenes on my behalf... I
will fulfill my destiny... I will fulfill the plan God has for my
life!" As you declare and expect and wait for the appointed
time, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. And you'll step
into the destiny God has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

Father in Heaven, I receive Your truth today. I receive Your promises
today. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I
can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words
agreeable to Your will. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
