Today’s Topic: Grateful for the Partial
Scripture: But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. – Luke 9:13, NLT
Today’s Word
When Jesus needed food to feed five thousand men plus their families, the disciples brought him five loaves of bread and two fish and said, “This is all we have.” Jesus could have looked up and said, “Father, are You kidding? Is this what You expect Me to use to feed this multitude? ” Instead, He saw it from a different perspective. His attitude was: “Father, I could have nothing, but thank You that You blessed Me with this small amount.” He saw it as a partial victory.
Because He was grateful for the partial, God released more. Are you complaining about the partial in your life, or are you celebrating the partial? Are you so focused on your flaws and how far you have to go that you’re taking for granted the small victories along the way? Find the good in right now, in the progress you’re making, and thank God for the improvement. It may be small but that’s okay. When you celebrate partial victories, that’s what gives you the strength and encouragement to keep going on the way to total victory.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and love and mercy in my life. Thank You for the partial victories that You have given me, and I know that You are working to bring them to completion. Help me continue to be grateful and see every promise fulfilled. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Sometimes, God will remove things we don’t understand. He’ll remove a friendship: someone that’s pulling us down, causing us to compromise. We don’t like change. We’re comfortable. Now we’re going to have to stretch, grow. Don’t fight the chisel. God knows what He’s doing. He’ll never ask you to do something and then not give you the ability to do it.
Don’t believe that you’ve made too many mistakes, you’re too far off course. You see yourself as the failed you, the broken you, the guilty you, the disadvantaged you. No, nothing you’ve done has stopped your destiny. The mercy of God is bigger than any mistake you’ve made. The true you is still inside: the blessed you, the faithful you, the honored you, the righteous you. Be inspired by this message from Joel, “The True You”. Check it out here: https://bit.ly/3rn12Nj
