Today’s Scripture

John 10:28–29, NIVI give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

Today’s Word

You may be in a difficult time. Don’t get discouraged. Just remember how God has already parted the Red Sea in your life and delivered you from Pharaoh, so to speak. He snatched you out of a harmful situation. He closed that door that would have proven a big mistake. You have a history with God. You’ve seen His mercies—not once, but again and again—showing out in your life. You need to announce to that cancer, “You can’t finish me off. God controls the number of my days.” Announce to that depression, fear, and anxiety, “You’re not going to finish me off. God promised I will finish my course with joy.” Don’t get discouraged because of that person who’s trying to push you down and make you look bad. They can’t stop God’s plan for your life. When negative thoughts come, just answer back, “You don’t realize who you’re dealing with. I’m a child of the Most High God. You can’t snatch me out of His hands.”

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that You control the number of my days and nothing can snatch me out of Your hands. Thank You for the countless ways You have protected me from things I knew nothing about. I rejoice that Your mercies surround me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
