TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
Sometimes when things don’t
turn out the way you thought; when they don’t happen on your timetable, it’s
easy to get discouraged and feel like God has let you down. But, I believe
that simply means that God has something better in store for you.
If you’ve been praying,
obeying His commands and standing in faith but you didn’t get the answer yet,
now is not the time to back down. When one door closes, God always has
another door.
We have to remember that the
enemy is the one who is trying to bring discouragement. He’s trying to get
you focused on the closed door instead of the open door just ahead. Don’t
fall for the trap! Keep moving forward. Keep praising God in the hallway.
Stay in faith knowing that God has something better in store for you!

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...
