The Land of Hope

The Land of Hope by Joel Osteen

Today's Scripture

“I’ve pitched my tent in the Land of Hope” (Acts 2:26 Message).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Where have you pitched your tent today? What are you expecting to happen in your life? What kind of attitude do you have? If you’re focused on what’s wrong, or what’s not working, it’s time to dig up your tent stakes! It’s time to pack up your belongings and move out of the land of discouragement. Move out of the “Not-going-to-happen” sub-division. Move out of “Can’t-do-it-ville.” It’s time to leave “Self-pity Estates.” Get out of those areas and move into the land of hope, faith, and expectation. Maybe you don’t quite know how to get there, but now’s the time to start looking for that new place. Open your heart to the Lord and ask Him to direct your thoughts and expectations. The Bible says that those who hope in the Lord will never be put to shame. You can trust God to order your steps. You can trust Him to move you from the land of disappointment to the land of hope today!

A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, thank You for ordering and directing my steps. Thank You for taking me to the land of hope! I release all my past hurts and disappointments to You today and ask that You fill me with Your faith and expectancy for a bright future! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Oh yeah, Joel Osteen.
Straight to the point, great message.

I get annoyed when I see Christians in their pity parties, they invite you in. But the minute you try to change the mood into rejoice ye people, they kick you out.

Wake up people, you have the victory. time to live it and enjoy it. The only tent we should be pitching is one to go in and pray and have worship.

great post sister.
One I would need to apply from time to time.

Sis, I love your terminology of "pity party". It cracks me up! Can I steal it? LOL

 

[rizen1]

sure..lol

I've thrown many sad to say,lol
I would have made a great pity party planner.
But the praise parties I have now are more fulfilling.

All invited, no cover charge.
God bless.
