He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Prov. 2:7-8 (NIV) It is so good to know that all that God has for us He holds for us. If God holds His plans for us, than He is the One that we should seek to receive it, not man. If He holds it, no one can steal or hinder it. Who can take our plans of success from God’s hands? Absolutely, no one. He covers our journey like a mighty shield around us. He preserves His promises towards us. God will keep us as He elevates us. Look to Him and walk in divine favor. Let’s give God praise for directing and protecting our path. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 (NRSV) God is our shelter in the storm and a solid rock in times of distress. When the waves of life try to overwhelm us, in His presence we find true rest. A present help in the times of trouble and protection from the enemy’s snares. Our God never leaves us defenseless, because we are being kept under His providential care. He covers us when the storms are raging and we feel like there is no relief in sight. This battle is not ours; it’s the Lord’s to fight. Arise and don’t let life cause you to doubt or feel helpless. God is covering you by His grace and mercy, so you are blessed. Our troubles don’t take Him by surprise. What was sent to break us will not be our demise. In Christ we destined to rise. Press Forward! ADaubon

Walking In Victory

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 (NIV) There is comfort in knowing our God is with us in all things and every situation. In this life we will have trials and troubles, but with God we can make it. We too are victorious, because we serve a victorious God. Let us walk in peace today knowing that we will overcome all that seeks to overwhelm us. We will rise above every storm, because victory is our inheritance in Christ. Let’s go and grow together! ADaubon

He Never Fails

For the word of God will never fail. Luke 1:37 (NLT) For with God nothing [is or ever] shall be impossible. Luke 1:37 (Amp.) God, we thank you for your word that has gone forth over our life that will turn what looks impossible into great possibilities. Thank you for fulfilling every promise and purpose you’ve spoken over us. We are not living haphazardly through life, but rather by divine assignment and appointment. You never fail us or cause our hopes to be dashed. There is nothing that we will ever face in life that is greater than you. So, today we give you all the matters of our heart and say have your way. Meet us at our place of need. Release your unmatchable power over our problems, your divine nature over all that tries to keep us down, and providential care over our lives. Your provision never fails. Your plan always prevails. Amen! Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Remember God

Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Deuteronomy 8:11-14 (NIV) Often when we get where we are going we forget the One wo got us there. When waiting or wanting we are prayerful and constantly seeking the presence of God. We must maintain the same fervor for God beyond the storm. Keep the posture of prayer after you’ve received the promise. When you have arrived don’t forget to continue to thrive in your relationship with God. Don’t let your accomplishments make you lose sight of the one who has paved the way, directed your steps and guided you to your destination. Desire Him in the time of manifestation as you did when you needed daily manna. Keep the flame burning for God in every season of your life. Press Forward! ADaubon

Seek His Power & Protection

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. I Chron. 16:11 (NIV) God is El Shaddai, all powerful. He is the source of our strength. When you feel weak, reach out to Him. In times of weariness, lean on Him. When your’e tired and feel like you can’t go on, press forward in Him. When the weight of the world is upon you, rest in Him. God is and forever will be all that we need. Seek Him at all times and let Him meet you at your place of need. Be encouraged and know that the Lord sees you and is ever-present, no matter what you’re going through. Acknowledge His presence and receive HIs power and protection. Let’s go and grow together.

Posture of Praise

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) Meditating on the goodness of God will carry us through all times and circumstances. Giving God praise even in the midst of the storm gives us strength for the journey ahead. Joy manifests in our worship. Prayer keeps us grounded and centered in the presence of God. When we offer earnest prayers unto God, we can live life confidently and joyfully knowing that God is taking care of all that concerns us. Maintain a posture of praise and worship through life’s ups and downs. Praise your way through all that you go through. Don’t worry, God has you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Follow The Leader

 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21 (NLT) God help us to follow you with a willing heart. Teach us to seek your face for direction from the start. Give us an ear to hear as you lovingly guide us through this journey. Holy Spirit rise within us to imagine what you see. Let us not be held back by the fear of the unknown or uncertain. We won’t have trepidation due to the obstacles ahead, because you move mountains. Speak to us; your servants are listening with intention to follow your will. Until we hear from you we will seek your face, trust you and be still. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together.

Pursue & Practice Peace

Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 (NLT) It is easy to say you want peace, but how far will you go to achieve it? Will you reach out to make amends? Would you push past the spirit of offense to build a path forward and bridge of reconciliation? Will you challenge yourself to extend grace, even when everyone around you says they don’t deserve it? We must set an example of Christ’s unconditional love in the world. It’s not always easy, but it is necessary to promote peace within ourselves and with others. We are not accountable for the actions of others, but as believers in Christ we are called to create spaces where peace is cultivated.

Prayer for Today: God search our heart and remove anything that hinders us from seeking peace with others. Give us a desire to resolve conflict rather than entertain contention. Let your shalom penetrate us until it overflows from within us. Help us to be an image and example of your love. We thank you for being a God of reconciliation. As you have reconciled us to you, help us to delight in reconciling with others. Today, we choose to pursue peace. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
