The Best is Yet to Come<\/h2>\n

Daily Devotion for January 17, 2018<\/h4>\n

\nBe careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.
\n\u2014Proverbs 4:23 NCV<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may sound overly simple, but how you think about your future, shapes it. Instead of falling into negative thinking about tomorrow, fill your mind with happy thoughts and positive goals. You will reap the benefits of a blessed future.<\/p>\n

Today’s Prayer:<\/h3>\n

Dear Lord, thank You for filling my future with heavenly blessings.<\/p>\n
