Our word today is, "to be strong courageous." To be strong in the strength that lies only in God. His Word is the same for all of our situations and circumstances. In the midst of it all, we have the promise of His presence no matter what we go through.
Have You Made That Call Today?
There are a lot of calls we may make in any given day, but the most important call is the one we make to God. The Scripture tells us when we call, He will answer. (Jeremiah 33:3) What an awesome promise. He's never too busy. He never sleeps!
Enter Into Rest!
"Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief.
"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." (Hebrews 4:4,9)
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Lord of the Breakthrough
βDavid said, βGod has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.β Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.β (1 Chronicles 14:11)
The Jesus of Christmas
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.β (Matthew 1:21)
It's only a day away. The day set aside to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
Amazing Grace!
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:9)
Grace is God's unmerited favor. It is underserved and unearned. It is His love in full .
"There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God."
(I Samuel 2:2)
Who is like the LORD our God?
He is the King of Glory. He is holy. He is mighty. He is ALL powerful.
He is the Lion if the tribe of Judah.
YOU GOT THIS!
Place your confidence in a God who uses unqualified people to do great things. You got this because He has you and you can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.
Hebrews 10:35 says, "So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.β
The Gift of Hope
The only true hope we have is in God. Our hope is a commitment and a belief that no matter what is happening in our lives right now, we have a steadfast confidence and trust in God to keep looking forward in expectation. I believe that is the power of hope.
Jehovah Shalom
βThe Lord is with you.β What powerful words God spoke to Gideon right in the midst of a fearful situation that seemed hopeless. (Judges 6:12) I can not tell you how many times those same words have ministered to my heart. What a blessing, we are never alone!
Happy Friday everyone.
Father, in the name of Jesus we thank You for this new day with new mercies. Thank You for every blessing that You have given us. Thank you for surrounding us with favor, ordering our steps and giving us continued grace to go throughout this day.
