He Anoints You with Oil
Scripture “…You anoint my head with oil…” (Psalm 23:5, NKJV) Word In the Bible, oil is symbolic of the anointing of God. Do you know what oil does? It makes things flow. Whenever there is friction or something gets stuck, putting oil on it makes it become more fluid. That’s what God wants to do […]

Let God Arise
Scripture “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered…” (Psalm 68:1, NKJV) Word What are you letting arise in your life today?

Trusting God’s Timing
Scripture “My times are in your hands…” (Psalm 31:15, NIV) Word In life, oftentimes we are waiting for something; waiting for a dream to come to pass, waiting to meet the right person, waiting for a problem to turn around.

Trust His Timing
Scripture “My times are in Your hand…” (Psalm 31:15, NASB) Word One thing I’ve learned is that God doesn’t always work on our time table. In fact, He rarely does.

Dream Beyond
Scripture “I lift up my eyes to the hills…” (Psalm 121:1, NIV) Word So many people today are stuck in a rut. It’s not because they aren’t talented; it’s not because they don’t have God’s favor, but it’s because their vision is limited. They can’t see beyond their circumstances. They don’t see themselves accomplishing their […]
