And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

Cling to God’s Promises

Cling to God’s Promises What do you think about?  The thoughts that fill your mind are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview.  If you choose to dwell on God’s promises, you start to recognize God’s blessings during uncertain times. Trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting.  Isaiah 12:2 reminds us that we belong to a God who is faithful to keep His promises. This God rescues us and fights for us. So when we belong to God, we have nothing to fear—all we need to do is cling to Him and wait on Him to act.  So as you walk forward today, reflect on some of God’s promises, and let them transform the way you think:  God will sustain you. (Psalm 55:22) God’s peace will guard your heart. (Philippians 4:7) God delights over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17) God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. (Psalm 32:8) God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need. (Psalm 46:1) In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you. (Romans 8:37) God will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) God’s perfect love casts out all your fear. (1 John 4:18) Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:38-39) God’s not done with you. (Philippians 1:6) Allow these truths to fill your mind today!

“See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”” Isaiah 12:2 NLT

Proximity Matters

Proximity Matters “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ It makes sense, doesn't it? If you surround yourself with people making terrible decisions, it won’t be long before you start acting like them. Or you might be blamed for another's poor decisions simply by association. You will inevitably “suffer harm.” We always want to love those who are far from God, but there’s a difference between loving someone and joining them. Instead, if you walk with the wise—watching, asking, learning, mimicking—you will also become wise in the process.  So what kind of person do you want to be? And who in your life would you call wise? Maybe it’s a parent, grandparent, pastor, or teacher. Maybe it’s your neighbor, coach, or someone else you admire for all the right reasons. Whether it’s intentional or not, we are all being discipled by someone. So if you want to walk with the wise, proximity matters.  Meet them for coffee or lunch. Join them on a walk. Invite them into your home. Learn from their experiences. Read the Bible with them. Ask them face-to-face questions. Like Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise knowledge and insight.” Turns out, God is the wisest mentor of all. So talk to Him throughout your day, learn from Him by reading Scripture, and spend time with others who also long to be more like Him.

“Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬
