Resist The Devil

God's peace can always be with you, regardless of your circumstances. As the wind signals an upcoming storm, you can know for certain that God is there with you.

Storms will draw you closer to Him as you seek shelter, or it can drive you away as the rain of discouragement causes a downpour on your faith.

It Will Be Worth It All

God knows about your dilemma and sees your circumstances. There are opportunities along with the obstacles. Each situation is either a stepping stone or a stumbling block.

Move up to another realm of spiritual awareness. Allow your ears to become attentive and your eyes more alert to the circumstances you face each day.

You may panic for a moment, but allow God's peace to enter and endure. Your biggest and longest struggle is hardly a fleeting moment compared to the life of eternity… Continue

Cast Your Cares

Do not be afraid of things to come. God will be there to help you with your struggles and to lift your burdens. Let Him take your worries and cares.

When it seems impossible, that is when all things are possible for those who abide in Him.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares about you."(1 Peter… Continue

Make God's Word Your Authority

You need to accept God’s Word as your authority. Why? Because it is the only source that will never lie to you. If you’re going to be a man or woman of courage, you need to build your life on the rock that never changes, not on popular opinion. Build your life on the understanding that “God said it, I believe it, and that settles it — whether I understand it or not.” Hebrews 6:18 says, “God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for… Continue

Romans 8:28

"...In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world." (John 16:33)

God’s faithfulness doesn’t guarantee an easy journey through life. In fact, He promises exactly the opposite: He promises that in this life we will have trials and tribulations, hardship and pain. Yet He who is sovereign and wise and loving and good also promises that the tough times aren’t wasted. (Sheila Walsh)

"We know that in all things God works for good… Continue

Love Your Enemies

We all have difficult people in our life, but hear this: God can use them to help you become the best version of you - maybe even more than the people you like. Other people don't create your spirit; they reveal your spirit. (John Ortberg)

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your friends, hate your enemies.' But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven. For He makes His sun shine on bad and good people… Continue

You Are Loved

Cheer up; you’re a lot worse off than you think you are, but in Jesus you’re far more loved than you ever could have imagined. (Jack Miller)
"...Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God."(Rom.8:39)

Trust God...Not Your Feelings

We must choose between facing our feelings or facing the facts of God. Our feelings may be as uncertain and changing as the sea or shifting sand. God's facts, however, are as certain as the Rock of Ages Himself---"Jesus Christ...the same yesterday and today and forever"(Heb.13:8)

When darkness veils His lovely face

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every strong and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

On Christ the solid rock I stand

All other… Continue

Hope Forever

"Why must I go about mourning?"(Ps.42:9)

Dear believer, can you answer the above question? Can you find any reason why you are so often mourning instead of rejoicing? Why do you allow your mind to dwell on gloomy thoughts? Who told you that night will never end in day? Who told you that the winter of your discontent would continue from frost to frost and from snow, ice, and hail to even deeper snow and stronger storms of despair? Don't you know that day dawns after night, showers displace… Continue
