If someone ever called you a failure, this means that God has destined you for success. If you are feeling frail and tired, the Bible says, “Let the weak say I am strong.” If all your bills are not coming together, this is an opportunity for you to exercise your faith and believe that Jehovah Jireh, our Provider who provides for the birds of the field without them asking for food, will also provide all your needs. If all hell has broken loose on you, this means all heaven is working it together for your good so that you will have an expected and successful end. Without war there is no victory, fix your eyes on victory and hang on to the anchor of hope. Your victory is in your faith and confession. If you believe that this trial will pass, then it will. This trial is not forever, believe me it is just another season in your life, it will definitely pass if you hang on and don’t give up. Don’t let go, the Bible says after you’ve done all you know to do, stand therefore. Please keep standing even if it seems there is no solution to your problems right now; there is always light at the end of the tunnel. This may be your darkest hour but there is light at the end. Weeping may endure for a moment but your joy will come in the morning. God will bring light, peace, solution, answer, provision, love, and all that you need and more your way if you hold on to Him and not give up. God cares more than we can imagine but the devil makes us believe he does not answer our prayers and that He is not bothered about our pain. He would not have sent His only begotten Son to die for us if this was so.Believe me, if you are down right now and feeling depressed, there is hope for you, as this is your opportunity to surrender all to God and God’s opportunity to prove to you that He is able to carry you through and provide all your needs but you need to put your trust in Him rather than worry. Worry will not add anything to your life; it only takes away from you, leaving you with sickness and anxiety. This is not your portion. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can expect or think, so hang in there, surrender all to Him and don’t give up. Everything in life is temporary and subject to change, the only thing that never changes is the Word of God, it is the same today, yesterday and forever. So, go tell all your enemies you are going to make it, as God has not given up on you yet!
My Word for you today is in Isaiah 26:3-4 (Amplified Bible)
3You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
4So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].
May God continue to guard and guide you and cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace in these most difficult times. Remember to pray for others even as you pray for yourself and God will bless you.
