The LORD was with Joseph and made him successful in everything he did.
GALATIANS 5:22-23 (NLT)
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God defines success and gives it to us.
DAILY FODDER
If God gives us success (the fruit of the Spirit), why does it seem so elusive for us?
PRAYER
God of abundance, thank you for the riches of eternal life that you constantly pour into my lap. I regret that I sometimes prize what is worthless, but you always restore me to sanity and reveal again the treasures of your love and presence. Move my heart to share your goodness with others today. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
