Today's Scripture
Proverbs 4:18, ESV
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
Today's Word
God's idea is that our lives get bigger and bigger-more influence, more opportunity, more resources. But you may feel stuck. You haven't seen this happen yet, but this is a new day. Things are about to turn in your favor. If you get your hopes up and start expecting God's goodness, you're going to come into a bigger life, to a new level of your destiny.
You may be in a limited environment right now that you can't change. If you see lack, dysfunction, struggle, and addictions on a regular basis, it can become ingrained in you to where you think that's the way it's supposed to be. The key is to not let the environment get in you. Don't let mediocrity become the norm. Don't live with a small mentality. Don't water down your dreams, accepting less when you know God has created you for more. Start believing bigger. Start taking steps of faith, stretching, growing, and learning. Start living larger, and God will amaze you with His goodness.

Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that I can begin to see myself the way You see me as living a bigger and better life. Help me to get unstuck from my limited environment and not expecting anything better. I believe that You have new horizons for me to explore and a bigger life than I am now living. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
