Today’s Scripture
“He said to them, “I will give you all the land of Canaan as your inheritance.” They were very few in number when God gave them that promise, and they were all foreigners to that land. They were wandering from one land to another and from one kingdom to another. Yet God would not permit anyone to touch them, punishing even kings who came against them. He said to them, “Don’t you dare lay a hand on my anointed ones, and don’t do a thing to hurt my prophets!” So God decreed a famine upon Canaan land, cutting off their food supply. But he had already sent a man ahead of his people to Egypt; it was Joseph, who was sold as a slave. His feet were bruised by strong shackles and his soul was held by iron. God’s promise to Joseph purged his character until it was time for his dreams to come true. Eventually, the king of Egypt sent for him, setting him free at last.”
Psalms 105:11-20

Today’s Thought
Preparation time is never wasted time. Even though it doesn’t look like anything is happening, you're growing in preparation for what God has for you. Don’t waste the process of preparation, it has an invisible transformative power. Trust it and discover how it’s working on your character.

Today’s Confession
Father God, help me to be patient and moldable during my time of preparation. It may seem like a long time to me, but it’s time that is necessary for me to grow and become who you want me to be. Help me to see how the process is growing and changing me for the next level of my life.
