TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
In our world today, most
people are used to having constant activity: computers, cell phones,
television, email, video games. There’s nothing wrong with any of that, but
the Bible tells us that we need to stop and be still so we can focus on
knowing God. This is especially true during the difficult times. When you are
facing a challenge, it’s easy to want to run to a friend or talk about it
with a co-worker. But at some point, you have to stop and say, “God, I rest
in You. I know You have me in the palm of Your hand.”
Remember, our battles are
spiritual battles. The people in your life aren’t the source of your
problems, the forces of darkness are. When you choose to be still and know
that the Greater One lives on the inside of you, you are putting yourself in
a position of strength. So today, take time to be still before Him. Let His
peace cover you. Let Him refresh you by His Spirit. Remember, the battles you
face belong to the Lord. Be still before Him so you can see His hand of
victory in every area of your life!

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...
