Expect God To Work, But Maybe Not That Way
He takes care of us in ways that can only be Him at work. Why? So He gets the glory forever and ever, amen! We get the help and God gets the honor. What. A. Deal. Today, expect God to work in your life for good. Just don’t expect Him to do it like you think He will.
Are You Finished? Jesus Offers Endurance.
He will not lose us on the way. He will not let us lose our way. Through every sinful setback, every stagnant season and every stormy squall, Jesus remains faithful to get to heaven all those who believe in Him. We will keep going. We will endure. We will make it.
The End Of Your Story Is Written
By faith, we travel the course marked out on its pages, knowing that the end of our story has been written, and it’s wonderful. We don’t know what comes next with each turn of the page, and it won’t always make sense to us, but it doesn’t have to. Because our faith is in the One who does know the happily-ever-after ending to our story. After all, He’s the One who wrote it.
Are You Grumbling? Jesus Offers Thankfulness.
If you know Jesus, your life is going unbelievably well (even if there is suffering present). If you know Jesus, you’re heading home to everlasting good (even if things are bad on the way). In every circumstance, you have reason to be joyful and thankful because you have Him.
God May Not Be Changing The Situation
When you face troubles and trials, don’t give up hope, because God hasn’t given up on you. You may feel like everything is falling apart, but He’s actually putting you back together again so you can feel, think, speak and act like the person you were born to be. When you look back, you’ll find this to be true: your circumstances may not be different, but you are.
It Would All Make Sense If We Knew All He Knows
We don’t have to make sense out of everything that is going on or that we are going through; but we do need to trust that God is tirelessly at work in ways that would make sense if we knew all that He knows. And when we can’t see it with our eyes, let us believe it in our hearts. That’s what faith is for.
Are You Timid? Jesus Offers Courage.
His power is greater than our enemies, His sovereignty rules over our battles, His promises reside in our hearts, His forgiveness ensures our futures, His presence empowers our lives, and His grace provides for our needs. Confident in this, we press on!
Are You Confined? Jesus Offers Freedom.
No more shackles. No more cages. No more prisons. Walk out of that cell and in faith follow Jesus. Don’t live as if you are still in chains. You have been set free.
The Battle-Axe Of Discouragement
Therefore… Let us not lose heart or lose hope. Let us not slow down or shut down. Let us not give up or give in. Let us listen for the applause of heaven. Now we hear from a distance, but someday in His presence.
Are You Wronged? Jesus Offers Justice.
God will repay, either by accepting the payment made by Jesus on the cross should they repent and receive His grace, or by making them pay in hell if they do not. Therefore, let us overcome evil with good and leave it to God to do the work He means to do. We who have received grace should be the quickest to extend it.
