TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
It’s interesting that the
last thing Jesus that said on the cross was, “It is finished.” It certainly
looked like the end. It looked like it was over. But I believe that wasn’t
just a statement of fact, it was a statement of faith. Jesus was saying to
His Father, “I’ve done My part. I’ve fulfilled My destiny. Now I’ve got total
trust and confidence in You that You are going to finish what You started.”
Even though it looked like the end, in reality, it was only the beginning.
When it looks dark in your
own life, when things aren’t going your way, dare to make that declaration of
faith just like Jesus, “It is finished.” What you’re really saying is, “God,
I know You are going to turn this situation around. I know You are going to
heal my body. I know You are going to restore my family. I know You are going
to give me the breaks that I need. I’ve done my part, and I know You will do
Yours.” Always remember to speak victory over your circumstances because He
is faithful, and He will complete what He’s started in you.
