If you aren’t a Christian, or don’t believe in a Higher Power, my apologies…this message isn’t for you. For those of us who do believe, I wanted to share this daily inspiration with you.
I am “one of those” who loves Joel Osteen (Minister of one of the country’s largest mega-churches). It seems that every message that he gives is tailor made for me and what I happen to be going through at the time. This message is no different.
Change Your Song
Today´s Scripture: "Unto You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my Defense, my Fortress, and High Tower, the God Who shows me mercy and steadfast love"(Psalm 59:17, AMP).
Today´s Word:
In the Bible, David had all kinds of challenges. People lied about him, accused him, and tried to kill him. In Psalm 59 he says, "My enemies are coming against me like vicious dogs trying to destroy me. But as for me, what am I going to do? I will sing about Your power. And I will shout for joy for You are my refuge, my place of safety in my day of distress."
Notice, in David’s time of need, he wasn’t sitting around having a pity party and complaining. He decided to sing about the greatness of God. He was saying in effect, "My enemies may be powerful, but I know my God is all powerful. My obstacles may be high, but I know my God is the Most High." He wasn’t talking to God about how big his problems were; he was talking to his problems about how big his God was!
Do you need to change your song today? Instead of complaining and thinking about what you’re not, start thanking God for what you are becoming. Just like David, stay in faith and sing to the Lord knowing that He’s going to complete what He’s started in you.
Prayer for Today:
"Father God, today I choose to focus on You. I bless and praise You no matter what my circumstances look like. I know that You are on my side and thank You for always leading me in the path of victory. In Jesus´ Name. Amen."

The thing that brings this message home for me is “He wasn’t talking to God about how big his problems were;he was talking to his problems about how big God was!” That sentence speaks volumes to me and shows me that I sometimes might need to look at things from a different perspective. And the Prayer for today is one that I plan to add to my daily routine.
I hope this message spoke to you too!!
