TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"What do you mean, 'If I can?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes." (Mark 9:23 NLT).
TODAY'S WORD , so many people today are missing out on the freedom that God has in store for them simply because they're always running from their adversities. They're continually running from their challenges or difficulties, content to stay right where they are. And I know that it's sometimes difficult to stand against the enemy. It can be uncomfortable to confront our challenges in order to take hold of freedom. But I believe that it is actually more difficult to run from our challenges than it is to stand and face them. Last week a friend and I walked through a very difficult time in my childhood and I found out that I was stuck in a 6 year old season in my life...but in facing the challenge I was able to move on. See, if you'll face your challenges, then it will only be a temporary difficulty. if you spend your whole life running from your challenges, it's as if they never go away-like a ball and chain around your ankle, those challenges will follow you everywhere you go. But that doesn't have to be you! Instead, stand firm on God's promises. Declare His Word over your life. Ask God to give you wisdom and direction as you face the difficulties in your life so that you can take hold of the freedom He has prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for freedom through Christ Jesus. I choose today to stand firm on Your promises. I choose an attitude of faith and expectancy knowing that You are leading me in paths of victory all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
