Shalom,

I LOVE "Faith To Faith" by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland for today!

...them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

– 1 Samuel 2:30

God honors those who honor Him. He'll never forget the seeds of loyalty you sow. He'll multiply them and give them back to you in a harvest of blessing. And Malachi 3:17 says when He makes up His jewels, you'll be forever among them.

Forever. Think about that for a moment. By honoring God with your life and your lips, you're stepping into a realm of blessing that will literally take an eternity to explore.

Once you begin to get that kind of eternal perspective on things, you'll see that it's grossly immature to get mad at God when temporary things don't work out exactly how and when you want them to. You'll see that your loyalty must be first of all to God, that you must seek first His kingdom--even when things seem to be going wrong. The Bible says that if you'll do that, all these other things will be added unto you.

God never forgets. He'll never forget that in the heat of the battle, when others were giving up and saying, "Hey, this faith stuff doesn't work!" you were still honoring Him by standing firm and speaking His promises.

So determine in your heart today to be loyal toward God in every word you speak. Make up your mind once and for all that nothing in your life is as vital as honoring Him. Keep honoring Him and speaking words of faith. It will work deliverance for you in this life, and in eternity you'll sure be glad you did.

It doesn't cost to serve the Lord, it pays! BIG TIME! Amen! Here is Hillsong Live withe acoustic version of "You Never Fail":

VERSE
When waters rise all around me
When mountains stand in the path I see
I look to love that's unfailing
I look to grace that is all I need

PRE-CHORUS
Oh call
Call upon the Name
Jesus Christ
The only Name that saves

CHORUS
For there is no one like our God
There's no one like our God
There's nothing that can stand against You
There's no stronghold You can't break
No life that You can't save
Our God You never fail

VERSE
Your light will shine through the darkness
Your word will calm every crashing wave
My hope it lies in Your promise
My faith it stands on the empty grave

BRIDGE
Strong through every trial
Faithful through the night
Our God will never fail
Our God will never fail

Anchor through the flood
You keep holding on
I know You'll never fail
Jesus You'll never fail

Shalom in Him!
