Floods of Goodness

So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim

and defeated the Philistines there.

“God did it!” David exclaimed.

“He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!”

So they named that place Baal-perazim

(which means “the Lord who bursts through”).

1 Chronicles 14:11 (NLT)

Water is a powerful force.

Perhaps you've seen television footage of the floods

earlier this year in middle Tennessee.

Three or four feet of water can pick up a huge car

that weighs thousands of pounds

and move it all around.

I've seen news accounts of houses floating down a river

during big floods.

Nothing can stop the force of that water!

Anything that gets in its way will be moved!

David compared God's power to the bursting forth of a flood.

He was saying that when the God of breakthrough

shows up and releases His power,

it will be like a flood of His goodness,

a flood of His favor,

a flood of healing,

a flood of new opportunity.

Today you may be facing difficulties that appear too big,

obstacles that seem to be impassable,

dreams that look unobtainable.

Remember this:

when the God of breakthrough

releases a flood of His power,

nothing can stop it.

Get ready!

Not for a trickle,

not for a stream,

not even for a river.

Get ready for a flood of God's favor,

a tidal wave of His goodness,

a tsunami of His blessings!

Step out in faith and believe that God

is going to overwhelm you with victory

in every area of your life today!

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Heavenly Father, I invite You to overwhelm me with You today.

Take over every area of my life:

my thoughts,

my attitude,

my body.

Flood me with Your healing,

favor and strength today

as I surrender all that I am to You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
