TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“But he said to me,
‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.”

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
We all have areas where we
need to come up higher. Perhaps you’ve struggled with a certain area year
after year. Instead of getting down on yourself or trying to find solutions
on the internet, maybe it’s time to pray and say, “God, I need Your help. I’m
asking for Your strength.”
When you humble yourself and
admit that you cannot do it on your own, that’s when God can enter the scene.
That’s when He can turn it around. A lot of times we think of dependency in a
negative light, but dependency on God is not a weakness; it’s a strength. It
enables you to tap into His power. When we yield our weakness, that’s when
God shows up the strongest. But when we don’t turn to God, really, that’s a
sign of pride. We’re saying, “God, I don’t really need You to help me run my
life. I’m doing okay. I’ve got it all figured out.” God will step back and
let us do it on our own.
Today, what is holding you
back? Surrender it to God. Let Him do His perfect work. Find strength in your
dependency on Him.

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
