Happy Friday!

Happy Juneteenth! Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads. Let’s finish this week strong and have an amazing weekend.

God has great plans for your life! Since that is the truth, you have to make up our mind not to quit, settle, or give up when facing the challenges in your life. Psalms 103:4 (AMPC) says, God “redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy.” This is an amazing benefit and promise for your life today!

The trap and pit are not the end of your story. It is the will of God for you to be delivered from every trap and pit! What you are facing is not your final destination. God desires to deliver you and beautify your life by lavishly filling your life with His love, mercy, benefits, and kindness. The trap is not too difficult; the pit you’re in is not too deep. God has a plan to get you out and elevate your life. Don’t give up. Don’t quit. Don’t settle. God has a plan for you!

Since God has a plan to deliver you and lead you out, you have to change the way you talk. You can’t say things like, "I’ll never beat this. This is too hard. I’ll never get out of this situation. I’m done for.” What should you say? What it says in Psalms 91, “God is my refuge. He is my fortress. I trust in Him. He will deliver me from every trap. I rely on Him.”

In today’s devotional podcast, I share more about how God wants to rescue you and beautify your life. Stream it. You need to hear it and apply it. Share it with someone you know that needs to hear it and be encouraged.

I am praying for you! Remember to pray the daily prayer for 2026. After you pray the daily prayer, as I shared above, pause and take time to listen. Always remember, prayer is not complete until you take time to listen.

We are reading through the Bible this year. Today’s reading plan is located at the bottom of this newsletter. If you want a pdf print out of the plan, click here.

I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me.  Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles. 

We are reading through the Books of Joshua & Judges in Junes. Today, read Judges 13 & 14.
