The more we know the Truth, the less likely we are to fall for Satan's discouraging lies.
Satan is a liar. God is a Redeemer. A Healer. The Author of hope. The Pathway of restoration. The great I AM. And the One we need to listen to tonight.
Today, instead of feeling guilty for who you’re not, I pray God will help you celebrate who you are.
Dear Lord, You made me in Your image & that is something I seem to forget daily. Help me remember to celebrate & live in who You made me to be & not in what I wish I was. Amen.
"This is one of the tests of the Spirit-filled life. Is Christ becoming more and more evident in my life? Are people seeing more of Him, and less of me?" #BillyGraham
"I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me." Psalm 16:8 (NLT)
Powerful truth we can remember and focus on today.
Forgiving someone doesn't mean we’ll feel instant joy or relief. But it does mean we're taking the right steps to walk toward healing.
So instead of making feeling good my goal, I'm learning to make healing my goal. And forgiveness is always healing in the right direction.
The Bible says, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and that’s what the police are. They are there to keep the peace in society. Without them, we would have total anarchy.
What do we do with that gap between where our capabilities end and trusting God begins?
We must pray.
And when it seems we’ve prayed for years and we haven’t yet seen God’s answer? We must remember … God does His best work in the unseen.
Jesus: "I have come into the world as light so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness." John 12:26
Now we see.
We see the glory of Christ. We see the preciousness of the promises. We see the immeasurable inheritance. We see the terrible enemy—mortally wounded.
A tender reminder for your heart this week. Whatever you might be facing in your life right now, you don’t have to face it alone.
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:4-5)
If we truly believe the Bible is the living Word of God, we won’t just read it; we’ll let it read us.
Though it chronicles events past tense, the Bible is God’s Word speaking to us in present tense. And how we approach it matters more than we know.
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.” (1 John 4:9)
