It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had long nights of despair and distress? Nights that seemed to never end. Nights filled with tears and heartaches. Nights of loneliness and isolation. Nights of fear and horror. Nights of abuse and neglect. Have you ever found yourself walking the floors worrying about the outcome of a matter that was out of your control? You could not change the result but you still worried yourself sick about it. You knew God would take care of it, but you still pondered the pros and cons. Have you ever prayed in fear? You were up against a challenge or threat. You were caught doing what you knew was displeasing to the Lord. The doctors called and asked that you come to their office in the morning. Have you ever sat on the edge of your bed fighting back tears? Your child is running the streets. Your job is in jeopardy. Your finances are funny but you are not laughing. Have you been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. During your darkest days and nights, the Lord was present with you. It was His arms that brought comfort to you. It was His peace that cleared your mind. It was His love that upheld you. Today may not be as you wanted it to be. Attacks may have come against you and your family. Rumors and lies could have been spread against you. My friend, Today’s Going To Be A Brighter Day! Many times we say you are next in line for a miracle, while that may be true, but today I also believe things will be brighter than they were yesterday. The Bible declares in Psalms 84:11 – For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. As a child of the Most High God, you are assured of great things. While there will be times of trouble (Job 14:1), God is more than enough. He is able to be whatever you need Him to be, when you need Him to be it. Do you believe Today’s Going To Be A Brighter Day? I do!
My brother, my sister, what situation or circumstance prevents you from believing things will be brighter and better today? What person, place, or thing hinders you from seeing the sun shine again? What dilemma or matter are you allowing to keep you bound? The Bible declares in Psalms 72:17 – His name shall endure for ever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call him blessed. Today’s Going To Be A Brighter Day! Beloved, God did not form you to live shackled. He did not purpose you to walk in depression. The enemy desires to keep you in darkness. He desires to keep your eyes close to the light shining ahead. This morning, did you awake with an attitude of excitement or anger? It matters not how bad you think it is, do you believe your God is greater than your storm (1 John 4:4)? Do you believe God controls all things? You are destined for brighter days. Walk in them. Prayer for Today: Father, allow me to focus my attention on you and not my situations. When I do this, I can see the brighter days you created for me. In Jesus name … Amen!
