Today’s Scripture 🍞

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Romans 4:17-21 (KJV)

Today’s Devotional 📖

Good Morning,

Happy Wednesday! When you finish today’s devotional, make sure you check out our extra encouragement section for even more resources to start your day with faith and encouragement. Did you know that loose lips sink ships? They really do!

James 3:2-4 (NKJV), says, “For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he [is] a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.”

In this passage, James compares our tongues and words to a captain turning the wheel to steer the ship. The captain can steer the boat wherever he chooses. He can take it to a great destination or he could steer it into the rocks and danger. What happens if he crashes his boat? More than likely, it would sink.

Many people are living a “sunken life” because of the words of their mouth. Their words caused them to crash and sink. However, I believe in the resurrecting power of God that can uplift your life and bring you to a place of restoration. As God restores you, you have to make a quality decision to not keeping sinking your life. You have to take responsibility for your words and make a dedicated effort to steer your life in the right direction.

What is the right direction? The direction where the Spirit of God is leading you. Do not talk against His promises or the future He has for you. Abraham had to learn this lesson. In today’s Scripture, we see that he followed the example of God by calling things that be not as though they were.

When we read through his story in the Book of Genesis, we see that God changed his name to Abraham. Abraham means “father of many nations.” What is one of the ways God used to transformed Abraham’s life? He changed the way he talked.

Every time Abraham had to introduce (or reintroduce) himself, he was declaring that he was the father of many nations. He was identifying with the promise of God and speaking forth the results that both he and God desired. I am not saying that you need to change your name. I am saying that you need to daily identify with the promises of God and speak forth the results you expect in your life. Steer your ship in God’s direction by regularly speaking confessions and affirmations that align with His Word and His plan for your life.

In today’s podcast, I lead you in even more confessions and affirmations from a book I use to build my faith, confidence, and to make sure I am saying the right thing. (Some of you have reached out for more information about the book. It is called God’s Creative Power by Charles Capps and you can order it with a 15% discount here. You can also see the Renner Interpretive Version I read from in today’s podcast.) Will you stream the podcast and say these affirmations along with me? They will help you retrain the way that you speak and steer your life in the right direction.
