Today’s Scripture

“But we receive the faith-righteousness that speaks an entirely different message: “Don’t for a moment think you need to climb into the heavens to find the Messiah and bring him down, or to descend into the underworld to bring him up from the dead.” But the faith-righteousness we receive speaks to us in these words of Moses: “God’s living message is very close to you, as close as your own heart beating in your chest and as near as the tongue in your mouth.” And what is God’s “living message”? It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will experience salvation. The heart that believes in him receives the gift of the righteousness of God, and then the mouth gives thanks to salvation. For the Scriptures encourage us with these words: “Everyone who believes in him will never be disappointed.” So then faith eliminates the distinction between Jew and non-Jew, for he is the same Lord Jehovah for all people. And he has enough treasures to lavish generously upon all who call on him. And it’s true: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Yahweh will be rescued and experience new life.”

Romans 10:6-13

Today’s Thought

The faith of righteousness is when we believe in Jesus and are made righteous. Now, the power of righteousness has given us the ability to use the creative power of words, just like Jesus. Speak what you want to see and release the ability to create the future you want.

Today’s Confession

Lord, my faith in you and your completed work on the cross, made me righteous. I now have the same power as you, I have creative power in my words. Help me to use this gift wisely towards others, and to create what you would have me do in the future and in all areas of life.
