Word for Today

When God gives us a promise, it normally comes to us in seed form, and what we do with that seed is crucial. It needs to be planted in nutritious soil and daily watered with faith. The people with whom we share our dreams are crucial to the dreams’ birth. We must place ourselves in an environment that is full of faith, hope and life, and separate ourselves from people who are full of negativity and unbelief, so that the promise does not die. We need to surround ourselves with people who believe in us, will encourage us and are committed to helping us run our race and finish our course. It is not easy to let go of people who do not want to come with us on the journey, but in order to fulfill our purpose, we must be more loyal to God and our destiny than we are to other people. “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew 7:6)
