You're Surrounded

Good Morning!

Tonight, I’m beginning a new Bible study called “Peace in the Storm.” Join me tonight as we dive into a deeper understanding of God’s peace and explore how we can have stability, security, and provision in the midst of the storms of life. Our Bible study streams at 7:30pm EST. After we conclude our Bible study, we receive prayer requests and pray together as a Faith family. I look forward to seeing you tonight. Invite a friend to stream it with you!

You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.

Psalm 65:11 NKJV

Your 2024 is crowned and surrounded by the goodness of God. Goodness is defined as good things, prosperity, property, supply, and provision. It is good in the widest sense of the word and good to the farthest extreme. That’s what God wants you to experience. Yes, we know we will encounter challenges and disappointments. However, we are still surrounded by the goodness of God.

As Psalm 33:5 declares, the earth is full of the goodness of God. Don’t focus and obsess on the darkness, the disappointments in life, or the challenges you face. Expect to see God’s goodness in your life. Don’t downgrade your expectation because you ran into a setback, a disappointment, or somebody didn’t treat you right. Do not let what you have experienced change your expectation. As we’ll cover in tonight’s study, you can have overwhelming peace in the midst of the storm and victoriously come through the storm. God’s got you. Don’t give up now. Don’t lose hope now. This is the time to believe even bigger. God is good. His plans for your life are good and something good is going to happen to you today. Expect goodness and miracles!
