Today’s Scripture: Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12:1 ESV
I love how God’s word and stories of old affect today. Today in Genesis I realized that God’s covenants with Noah are also our covenants and God’s promises to Abraham are also our promises.
The LORD said to Abram go and I will show you. Like with Abram God may not reveal to us where we are to go until we are going. But LORD, how do I go if You haven’t shown me where yet? Just go and I will show you, He has answered here in Genesis 12:1.
With our hearts packed we can each step into our journey today and trust God will show us His way. OK LORD I am going and I trust You will show me Your way to Your blessings.
Are you going?
Today’s Prayer: LORD, I call upon Your name and thank You for Your Word to us. Thank You for those who have travelled before us to help show us the way. Thank You LORD for Your covenants with us and I pray we are faithful to You. Forgive us LORD for losing sight of Your direction and Your promises. We go trusting You to show us. Amen

Christian Affirmations 4 Life
Oh this blessed me BIG today, Tom! I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for his faithfulness and goodness, having brought me through a few rough days, days which teach and strengthen me–hallelujah! I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but do these “affirmations” come from some other author–or do you write them based on your time in the Word? Just curious, but not “idly” so, as I’m thinking it might offer me a better focus when I’m reading my Bible each day. God bless you, Super-Sized!! love, sis Cj
I love you sis and there is no dumb question around here. The true author is the The Holy Spirit who impresses upon me these things. Up until this point they are written each morning based on the impressions and revelations that the LORD gives to me that day. I do not want take credit for what God intends for His glory. I am thankful that you have found BIG blessings here that equal the BIG blessings you give me by coming by and brightening my day. Blessings and going BIG:)!
I appreciate your humility, Tom, but sometimes it’s useful to have a reference when I share great gems with someone–to just say “I read it on a blog” isn’t very helpful. Since your affirmations don’t come from a specific book or program, I’ll say they were “Tom’s Holy Spirit-inspired helps”–how’s that? Thank you so much for all your helps!
Ha, sis, I keep thinking maybe you can say one day that You read it in a book inspired by Tom’s Holy Spirit; if that is the LORD’S will. I trust Him and love Him and find my highest joy as I seek His Word for His affirmation. This is what I have and hope to share. All glory is His and I am thankful and blessed that He has changed me and I hope to share this joy. Blessings and thanks to you for all of your BIG helps too:)
