Life hurts, let’s face it. People and circumstances will
strike you at the center of your heart and you will FEEL like you can no longer
go on. Fact is God never promised us a life full of no trials but what he did
promise was that he will leave us with his peace (John 14:27). We have a choice
to follow what this world says or we can stand on what Jesus says. No matter
the circumstance he is worthy of it all. This life here on this earth is not
our final destination as a Christ follower so we really should not be in doubt
or in panic when ugly things appear in our lives. Those obstacles are
opportunities to trust God and leave whatever that is causing you strife at his
feet. Jesus is coming back for his church (Rev 1:8) and our job is to honor our
Father’s name until that day comes, not to fret. We will experience much
persecution here on this earth but we will never be completely broken, maybe
bruised but never crushed.
Friends, I encourage your heart today. I challenge you to
stand against all the lies of the enemy regardless of what is it. Focus on who
your King is and renew your mind every second of the day. You will find all
living truth in the word of God. If you do not know how to read the bible ask
the Lord to show you how, the Holy Spirit guides you and HE is faithful to ALL
who diligently seek him.
Who can stop the LORD ALMIGHTY? Absolutely no one thing,
person or circumstance on this earth…….God is fighting your battle and has
power. Bow before your King and worship his Holy name. He is able……..and is
still good no matter what.
In Christ,
Monique Smith
Prayer Starter:
Jesus, my Savior, My King and Stronghold. Thank you for all
that you have done for me, your mercy endures forever. My heart, my life and
circumstances I lay at your feet. I am not my own and cannot do anything in my
own strength. I know that you can heal my broken heart. I stand on your
promises in your word and will not depart from them. There is no weapon formed
against me that can prosper and I trust you. I ask that you please forgive me
for any evil thing in my heart and make my heart pure now by your blood, Lord. I
desire to love and look like you and I will not be afraid of what this world
says, you are my protector. Set a fire in my soul and help my, Holy Spirit to
stand against the lies of this world, make me bold for your name sake. You are
here in your splendor standing here with me. I am yours…..I love you. Amen
