“28. And the angel came in unto her, and said... 31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” -(Luke 1: 28, 31) That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. In our Focal Scripture, the Angel saluted Mary and unfolded God’s plans for her. The Angel announced the special favour Mary was about to receive from God; he spoke of the divine plans that God was about to make manifest in Mary’s life; he announced the future that Mary was about to step into. Mary was not in Jerusalem, the city of Kings and nobles, but the Angel found her and announced a great future that would later become a reality. Her current condition was not special, but something special was waiting in her future. Her past and present may have been ordinary, but there was an extraordinary future ahead. Friend, God says, there is an extraordinary future ahead of you. Where you are now is nothing compared to where you will be in future. Your current level is nothing compared to your next level. You shall have great achievements and receive great favours in future; you will walk into uncommon opportunities in future; things will get better in a matter of time; the struggles of yesterday and today will not follow you into your future. Any man who looks down on you because of where you are now is in for a shocker; your future will embarrass and completely disappoint them. Your future will make a mess of every negative prediction that has been made about you. Your future is better than your past and your present. Pay less attention to your past and present travails and expect a greater future. Your future is great, God-ordained, extraordinary, and beyond your imaginations. Job 8 vs. 7 puts it this way: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” Pray With Me: Lord, my future is great and extraordinary, in Jesus’ name!
