The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. What's more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God." Mary responded, "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." And then the angel left her.

Today’s Devotional 📖

Good Morning,

Something good is going to happen to you today! Before we get into today’s devotional, I want to share two exciting announcements with you! Yesterday, Spotify released their Spotify Wrapped which shares the podcast growth stats for the year. The Faith In The Morning Podcast is one of the top 20% video podcast on Spotify, experienced 518% growth of listeners, achieved 999% growth in streams, and 104% growth in followers. Wow! If you haven’t followed us on Spotify, join this phenomenal growth and do so today!

My second exciting announcement is that our brand new show, The Hero’s Journey premiers today on It’s Supernatural Network. It will stream every Thursday at 8:30am EST and 8:30PM EST. It is designed to help you discover the hero in you by seeing yourself as God sees you. Will you do me a favor and stream it today?

Let’s get into today’s devotional! As Daniel declared in his prayer of praise in Daniel 2, God changes the times and the seasons. Over the last three months at Faith Christian Center, I have been sharing about the new season we have entered. This is not a new season that begins on January 1st. It’s already begun and God has wonderful plans for you!

When we go through life, we sometimes run into delays. A delay does not mean God doesn’t have a great plan for your life. Never underestimate the power of a delay. A delay can be for your protection. A delay could also be positioning you for a wonderful opportunity.

Today, if you face a delay, don’t be discouraged. Don’t lose heart. Pray the prayer below, stay vision-minded, and look for the opportunity God is bringing your way.

In today’s podcast devotional, I share more about this topic and pray a special prayer over you. Stream today’s devotional on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify and share it with someone who needs to be encouraged.

Today’s Prayer 🙏

Pray this prayer with me today, “Father, I believe you love me extravagantly and you have great plans for my life. What is your opportunity for me in this delay? Help me to see it, take advantage of it, and stay full of hope. Thank for being so good to me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Something good is going to happen to you today. Keep moving forward! Want more encouragement? Check the links below and share them with others. Have a great day and an amazing weekend!
