Know that if HE says it, HE will stand behind it, so we need to stand on it. "And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant" (2 Sam. 7:28). If you stand with HIM, then HE will stand up in you!
When you know the outcome, it should make you look at your obstacles in a totally different light! "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that HE shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:" (Job 19:25). Today I want you to set the challenge of realizing where The Lord Jesus Christ is, is where
Do for others because HE is the object of your praise, not so you can be the object of theirs! "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven." (Matt. 6:1). The work that God has assigned you to do, do NOT do it for the pleasure of your peers but do it out of the goodness of your heart. The people around you should be looking at the actions that you do but seeing how good Jesus Christ really is.
As Christians, sometimes we feel feeble, faint, flimsy, and at other times impotent, indecisive, ineffectual, maybe weak, wavering or wimpy. But this should not be the case, because we have POWER. "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you" (Act 1:8). Just because we might not be at our strongest point, doesn't mean we cant persevere and make it through. We have more power stored in our bodies than we think. When you become closer to God that power can be released. Why should we be lacking when he is willing?
They say the truth will set you free, but HIS spirit will keep you Free! "17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." (2 Cor. 3:17) If you allow HIM to keep you, nothing or no one can hold you! If you keep your faith in God and allow HIM to keep you through everything you do, you have nothing to worry about! Keep your head up and persevere. Have a great day!
During your day, if you happen to run into a defect, don't try to fix it yourself, call the Manufacturer! "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psa. 118:24). If HE made it, why are you trying to fix it? There's no sense in stressing and worrying about something you don't have control over. Put it in God's hands and let him deal with it. If God put you into the situation that you are in, he is depending on you to seek him and ask for his help. God has a plan for you! Keep your trust in God that he will pull you out.
What you are founded on will show what you are bound for! "Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline" (Pro. 1:7). Today, know that in life if you keep slipping, it might be where you are standing. Learn that you can't stay in the same spot that you are in, if your life keeps making you fall.
