For some people, a Change In Atmosphere means you will open your Bible and it will become fresh to you. It will be as though it is not the same Bible you have been reading. What has changed?
Character & Word
Ephesians 6:13 “Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.”
2 Chronicles 20:17 “You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid;
Pray!
2 Chronicles 20:6 “Lord, the God of our ancestors, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you.” (NIV, emphasis added).
When we look at this passage of Scripture, it seems Jehoshaphat is reminding God of who He is. But actually, Jehoshaphat was reminding himself about who God is by telling God who He is.
Way Out!
Psalm 127:1 “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” (KJV)

Here I Am
Isaiah 41:10 “Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.’” (TPT)

Enjoy It!
Ecclesiastes 8:15 “And so I heartily recommended that you pursue joy, for the best a person can do under the sun is to enjoy life. Eat, drink, and be happy. If this is your attitude, joy will carry you through the toil every day that God gives you under the sun.” (The Voice)
So far, we have seen that it is the fun factor in family, faith, friendships, fitness, and finance that keeps it going. Today we will be looking at our farm. The farm should be fun.
Enjoy Him
Psalm 34:5 “Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.”
Fun is a big part of our faith. Fun is the glue that keeps us going in God. Psalm 149:2 “Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.” (NIV).
Family & Faith
Proverbs 17:22 “A joy-filled heart is curative balm, but a broken spirit hurts all the way to the bone. A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones” (The Voice & AMP)
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought, and question from yesterday. Married couples, if you do not have to go home, will you go home? The truth is if you cannot
Remarkable Things
2 Kings 4:6 “Soon every container was full to the brim! “Bring me another jar,” she said to one of her sons. “There aren’t any more!” he told her. And then the oil stopped flowing.”
Imagine this widow’s story, she came to Elisha “empty” but at the end of the day, she came into prosperity. She must have had fun because the Word of God says
