As you go through your day, I want you to remember something powerful: you are privileged to know the truth about who God really is. Job didn’t have that advantage. Yes, he worshipped God, but he didn’t understand God’s character. Because he didn’t know that Adam and Eve had handed over their earthly authority to the enemy, Job blamed God for the devil’s attacks. In fact, he wrongly accused God seventy-four different times! And honestly? The enemy still uses the same tactic today. He whispers lies hoping you’ll think God is the One hurting you or withholding from you. That’s why it’s so important to keep reminding yourself of what the Word really says. Unlike Job, you have the full, completed Word of God. You can see God’s goodness, His justice, His protection, and His faithfulness with absolute clarity. God hears you. He is for you. He calls you His friend. And because of Jesus, you have the authority to stand your ground when the enemy tries to steal from you. So today, walk in the confidence of a beloved, favored child of God. God is good. The devil is bad. And truth always exposes the lie. Question to Ponder: Where have I unknowingly believed something about God that doesn’t line up with His true character—and what truth from His Word do I need to replace it with today?

Job admitted it himself: “I uttered what I did not understand.” For much of the book, he spoke about God from a place of confusion and limited revelation—and many believers still build their theology from those confused statements. One of the most repeated is, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away,” which has slipped into our songs, our language, and even how we process tragedy. But Job later repents for those words after encountering God face to face. You now have something Job didn’t: a clear picture of God through Jesus. In John 10:10, Jesus draws the line in the sand—Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy; Jesus comes to give life, and life more abundantly. If you believe God is the One “taking away,” you won’t resist the enemy or reach out in faith for what God has promised—healing, provision, restoration, protection, and wisdom. You are invited to be wiser than Job: to let go of wrong beliefs about God’s character and anchor your heart in this unshakable truth—God is good, all the time, and He is always for you, never against you. Question to Ponder: Is there an area in your life where you’ve believed “God took this from me”—and how would your faith and prayers change if you saw clearly that God is for you and the enemy is the one who steals?

God never commands what He doesn’t empower. When Philippians tells us, “Don’t worry about anything,” it’s not a suggestion—it’s an invitation into supernatural peace. Worry opens a door the enemy is all too eager to walk through, just like Job unknowingly did with fear over his children. But trust slams that door shut. When we replace anxious thoughts with God’s Word—praying instead of spiraling, thanking instead of fearing—we position ourselves to receive peace that human reasoning can’t touch. His peace guards the heart, calms the mind, and restores what the enemy tried to steal. Like Job, once we recognize where the battle truly comes from and shift our trust back to God, restoration follows—pressed down, shaken together, and doubled. We don’t have to live stressed. We were born for peace. Question to Ponder: What worry do you need to replace with God’s promises today—and what would your day look like if you fully trusted Him with it?

You’ve got to conceive it in your heart before you SEE it fulfilled in your life! https://youtu.be/l0cNs1cezhA?si=Y0LT0tjACwZDlWGJ

Every morning when the light starts peeking through my window, I love to remind myself of this truth: God loads me with benefits every single day. Whether you’re an early riser or not, imagine a huge dump truck backing up to your doorstep—beep, beep, beep—and pouring out a fresh load of God’s goodness just for you. Wisdom. Favor. Healing. Joy. Strength. Guidance. Confidence. Peace. Everything you need for the day ahead. God is such a good Father. He delights in giving good gifts to His children, and it brings Him joy when we believe Him enough to reach out and take what He’s already made available. So whatever I need today—wisdom, provision, healing, peace—I simply receive it by faith. His Word promises it, and His heart delights to give it. I remind myself not to forget His benefits (Psalm 103). He forgives me. He heals me. He provides for me. He strengthens me. And He daily loads me with everything I need to thrive. Question to Ponder:What “benefit” from God do you most need to receive by faith today—and will you let Him load you up with it?
