Good Monday morning! A few thoughts for you this week…
The destroyer, or the devil, is like a roaring lion, prowling around hoping to engage you in battle. His ultimate goal? To steal your faith in God. Brazen.
He wants you to think that God doesn’t care about you and you’ve made too many mistakes to go forward in victory. He’s actually quite vicious in his attempts. However, read the verse below. Jesus defeated this enemy and shows us how to as well. This week, perhaps learn this verse by heart, arm yourself with truth. God’s truth and rejoice. Jesus has overcome!
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith.
(1 Peter 5:8,9, NIV)
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. (Psalm 34:19, NKJV)
Do you need this truth today? Can you attest to the fact that, “many are the troubles of those who live right?” However, look at the end of that verse, “but the Lord delivers him out of them all!” That’s God’s promise to you tonight. Rest in Jesus and sleep well. The Lord will deliver you!
During a crisis point in your life’s journey, be careful not to make a major change. Tough situations usually bring a measure of confusion; consequently, emotions tend to rule and therefore cannot be trusted. When things settle down you see the situation clearer to make a wiser choice. Pray for wisdom and direction. God cares for you.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding me to hold steady. So much is happening in my life right now and yes, my emotions are everywhere. Your word reminds me “In the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by”. Thank you for Your constant encouragement. (Psalm 57:1)
Good Monday morning!! In life, just like the weather, there are unexpected storms that catch us by surprise. 2020 has been a year of the unexpected.
Perhaps this week something unforeseen has happened that has sent you for a loop. Since God knows all things and you are His, He has the answers to every impossible situation. With God, there is always hope – trust in Him to turn things around.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5, NLT)
I’m not sure what your disappointments are today, but I am sure of this: God often works out situations in life, in a circle.
In my life, what often seemed disheartening at the time, was actually part of the sphere in which God was answering my prayer. Even in the shadows God desires us to trust Him. I would encourage you today, have faith and trust in God. He can work out every situation and turn things around. Jesus is our Saviour… and He can save you.
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1, NIV)
