Today's Scripture "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8, NIV


Today's Word Are negative thoughts limiting your future? Take inventory of what's playing over and over in your mind. You have to carefully evaluate the thoughts that are negative and holding you back, then delete them. God will do what He promises, but you have to get in agreement with what He says in His Word. Before you go to the next level, the enemy will send negative thoughts to try to hold you back—"you can't do it," "you won't get well," "you'll never defeat that addiction," "you'll never get the promotion." There will be these defining moments. What you do with the negative thoughts will determine whether you step into your greatness or whether you shrink back in fear. Pass that test. Start refusing negative thoughts. Don't let the negative words that people speak over you determine your future. Don't let what an "expert" said cause you to live in doubt. Don't let your own thoughts talk you out of what God put in your heart. Believe His Word and watch how God shows out in your life.


Caring for Our Community As we support one another in faith and prayer, we encourage all members to please notify us when there are situations requiring pastoral care in our community. If you or someone you know is facing illness or if we have experienced the loss of a loved one, please reach out to our Department Chaplain Elton Strickland or submit this information through our website contact form. Your notification helps us ensure that no one walks through difficult times alone and that we can provide appropriate spiritual support and care when it's needed most.


Prayer For Today "Father, thank You for Your Word and for the abundance of Your promises. Thank You that Your thoughts have the power to encourage, empower, and build me up in the faith. I declare that I will not allow negative thoughts to play again and again in my mind. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
