Psalm 105:19
“Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.”
Is that what God is doing in me? Is He testing my character? Is He working in me, shaping me until He can then fulfill my dreams?
I obviously didn’t get visions and dreams like Joseph, but this verse stood out to me today. It made me pause. Joseph went through so much hard, and it seemed like God had forgotten about him. But… it was all planned by God to bring about His purposes.
Psalm 33:11
“The Lord’s plans stand firm forever; His intentions can never be shaken.”
God most certainly does have a plan for me. For you. For us as a couple.
Nothing can change that. He’s working, moving, orchestrating. I can rest in that.
A Father’s Touch
Like any loving dad at the playground, God is watching and waiting for you to ask for the supernatural power He offers.
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”
—2 Chronicles 16:9
Notice that our God is not scanning the horizon for spiritual giants or seminary standouts. He eagerly seeks those who are sincerely loyal to Him.
Your loyal heart is the only part of His expansion plan that He will not provide.
You and I are always only one plea away from Him.
The Touch of Greatness
Inexplicable, Spirit-enabled exploits.
By His touch you can experience supernatural enthusiasm, boldness, and power. It’s up to you.
Ask every day for the Father’s touch.
Because for the Christian, dependence is just another word for power.
