TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Human plans, no matter how wise or well advised, cannot stand against the Lord.” Proverbs 21:30 —– ” But, of course, you know that such troubles are going to happen to us Christians.” 1 Thessalonians 3:3 —– ” I was afraid the tempter had gotten the best of you and that our work had been useless.” 1 Thessalonians 3:5
TODAY’S MESSAGE: As we continue to work hard at living a life representing Jesus, there are forces that will continue to come against us because of our efforts as followers of Christ. These forces will throw problems and unexpected troubles our way and expect us to fall at their command. However, we are to follow our Lord Jesus. There is no greater force than our Lord. There is nothing that comes against us that we cannot handle if we are following Jesus. It doesn’t matter the size of the problem or even how well planned it is; we have been totally prepared for every circumstance by our Lord God in heaven. We have been trained to live a life of faith. When our faith stands up the evil runs away. When we use our faith in the name of Jesus there is no thing that will be able to resist us. However, as humans we are sometime very vulnerable to the enemy. We, at times, will forget that we have a great reviver in God. We forget that He is able to resist all the enemy can and will throw our way. When troubles come, we wilt and allow the devil to spread his fears upon us. We go about our days living in sadness or fear of what could be next. Our lives are no longer representing the strength of Jesus but instead the weakness of our own humanness. We are living outside the will of God. We must keep ourselves protected by His great insurance policy that we have received from the death of our Lord Jesus on that cross. He has given us his Holy Word to read and digest daily. He has given us the name of Jesus for prayer and communication with our Lord God in heaven. He has given us faith to believe all of the actions our God will take on our behalf when we find ourselves in worldly situations. We must keep up the faith and never allow ourselves to become susceptible to the world around us. If we trust in Him, we will be able to live strong and happy lives even through the toughest of times. I am trusting Him! I hope you are doing the same! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
