Be Strong

Stay encouraged.  Hopefully, this little Devotional will be that encouragement.

Be Strong

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. (NLT) -1 Corinthians 16:13

As we anxiously await Christ's return we must be courageously strong. A firm, steady strength is needed to overcome obstacles. This strength is rooted in faith in God. The strength of God has the power to battle any fear. Stay strong in your faith when all else seems to fade.

You Can't Hide From God

This...

Truth bomb!

God Bless.

You Can't Hide From God 

One night I was standing in front of the refrigerator. I'd gotten out of bed to make a midnight refrigerator raid even though I was on a diet. And I stood there with the refrigerator door open, thinking, "Just one bite ." You know how it goes. You get into a debate with yourself: "Go ahead; it won't hurt this one time." "No, I'm on this diet." In moments like these, Satan feeds us a devilish excuse, "No one will ever know." You may not be standing in front of the refrigerator. You may be at work, or filling out your income tax form, or some place your family wouldn't want you to be. But you go ahead and do something questionable because it's easy to get caught up in the false belief that "no one will ever know.' The truth is, God already knows! The Bible says nothing in creation is hidden from God, and that God knows everything about you. This means there is never a question God can't answer and never a problem that confuses Him. He's never surprised and he's never shocked. He never says, "Oh, really!?" God knows everything.

Avoid Envy

Truth. 

Give yourself to mediated on the words written below and then be encouraged 

God Bless.

Avoid Envy

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. (NLT) -Proverbs 14:30

Do you find yourself wishing that you were getting rewarded instead of someone else? Do you ever feel like someone else's life is so much better than your own? These are the moments that envy wants to sneak into our lives and steals our peace! The reality is that we each have been placed in our lives on purpose by a God that is in control. He instructs us to focus our thoughts on how we can serve him in whatever circumstances we are in rather than comparing ourselves to others.

Helpless Without Him

Something to think about and hopefully will be encouraging as well.

God Bless.

Helpless Without Him

"I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me." - John 5:30, NKJV

Have you wondered, in agony, why God is doing what He’s doing? Why He has delayed answering your prayer? Have you reacted to the delay by trying to help Him out and speed things up? Have you turned to . . . a doctor, a lawyer, a counselor, a friend, pop psychology, a neighbor’s sympathetic ear, or a popular TV talk show? Have you resorted to threats or bargaining or manipulation until you’re totally exhausted? Have you come to the absolute end of your rope?

One reason God may be delaying His answer to your prayer and postponing His intervention in your situation is to bring you to the end of your own resources. Sometimes God waits in order to allow us time to exhaust every other avenue of help until we finally realize without any doubt or reservation that we are totally helpless without Him.
