TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Start with God. The first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning” (Proverbs 1:7 MSG).
Have you noticed that once you establish a goal in your life, you start hearing people say, “Who do you think you are, you think you have money?” or “It can’t be done just like that, how can one just prosper in these hard times?” or “Forget about it, they are all thieves! Etc
The antidote to the voices of doubt is listening to the voice of God. Just imagine all the critics that were in Noah’s life. “That guy Noah thinks God speaks to him, but he’s just messing up the master plan of our city by building that ark in his front yard.”
The Bible tells us that Noah listened to God. What did he hear? He heard God’s warning that the world was going to be destroyed. He believed even before the physical manifestation of the flood. He did not say "seeing is believing". He exhibited great faith and certainty in God's word and instruction. Noah didn’t turn back on the vision God had given him. Instead, he built the ark.
God will give you certain instructions for your life and some people may think it’s pretty crazy. But you’ve got to stay focused on what you know God has said through his Word(the Bible). Then, you’ve got to go build your ark.
TODAY'S QUESTION .
In what ways have you allowed fear or criticism keep you from prospering ?
