Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Don't Let Your Hope be Stolen

Don't Let Your Hope be Stolen
Today's Devotional Reading: Josh 23,24; Ps. 44; 1 Cor. 11

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)

TODAY'S WORD

The enemy has a goal for your life. He wants to steal your hope and joy, he wants to make you so discouraged that you just quit and give it all up. He knows that if you get discouraged and down, you will eventually settle for less than the best, and less than what God wants from you.

For over a year the enemy has been attacking Rita and I -- trying to have us give up our hope. I'm happy to report that he's gone someplace else because we wouldn't give in. It's hard...but it is something you have to fight through. I learned this, the devil has no patients...he'll move on.

The right attitude and mindset will prepare you for your miracle, but that can't happen if you're down and discouraged. God may take His time to accomplish what He wants to do in your life, but you can't lose heart and allow the enemy to claim victory. God will allow everything to pass as He sees fit. Your job is to have an attitude of expectancy. The rest is up to God!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

God, I know that Your timing is not always my timing. With Your help, I want to hold on to my hope and joy today as I wait for Your answer. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
