I think we can all agree that a great majority of Americans are in a financial crisis due to a few reasons. Factors like greed, lack of discipline, poor decision-making, ignorance, inflation, increased taxes, etc. are sucking our bank accounts dry. However, although this is true, Kingdom people can ask for mercy, favor, and wisdom so we can become wealthy and be the lenders, not the borrowers to impact our children and generations to come.
When it comes to making changes in our lives it can be difficult. It will require that we take a hard look in the mirror at what we don’t like about ourselves, the people in our lives, our careers, or our environment.

When we are going through a trial or storm it could leave us at a loss for words or dumbfounded. We may wonder how did I get here. What in the world is going on? We can’t believe that we are in this place of being tested and tried. As a child of God, we must learn how to see God in the middle of the trial. We must remember God is in control at all times and He is perfectly aware of what we are going through. He wants us to come to Him boldly for strength, comfort, and direction for our next steps. When we begin to think like God does we will be able to see as He does. One thing is for sure and that is God does not make mistakes and He knows exactly what He is doing. It’s our job to trust Him completely and ask Him to help us to clear up our vision so we can clearly see what is before us. God is at work in our lives, He is shifting things around, shaping and molding us into who He wants us to be. He wants to be able to see clearly within our hearts.
Repairing our relationships can be messy at times and we all have been there. Whether it’s in a marriage, friendship, ministry or family someone has to step up to the plate to be the bigger person and resolve the issue. There are times when you just don’t get it or understand what is being said or done. Sometimes we allow others to hurt us by not speaking up. Then we have those who know exactly what they are doing when they set out to hurt us. No matter what type of relationship its is don’t allow it to keep you stuck in a place of anger, regret, bitterness and emotional turmoil. If the relationship will lead to harm absolutely separate yourself from the individual. Will you continue to live in that mindset of it is what it is or will you get your peace back.
It's a devotional encouraging people to confront offense instead of avoiding it.
We can trust God with our career. Sometimes we want to go ahead of Him because we are tired of waiting but is it worth it? No. We may have certain desires of where we want to be and when we want to be there but it is God who has the perfect plan. As we pause and acknowledge Him, He is sure to direct our paths. His timing is perfect.
