Don't Give Up...

BE ENCOURAGED! Things are not always going to be like this.

Are you feeling a little pressed? Have struggles and setbacks got you down? It’s true; there’s a lot going on in this topsy-turvy world, but be encouraged.

Don’t give up.

Don’t quit.

God gets the last word.

He truly cares for you. He is concerned about all that concerns you and His love for you is genuine. It’s a love that never ever ceases. That’s right, He will never stop loving you...no matter what you do or don’t do. His love is not fickle. It doesn’t disappear just because things are not going right.

Here's the thing. Sometimes we exalt our circumstances and place them higher than God. We give them more importance and more attention than we should. The Word says that we are to cast our cares upon Him because He cares for us. Letting go can be very difficult, but if we give the Lord our attention, and hand over our vexing situations with prayer, supplications, and thanksgiving, He will give us unmistakable peace.

 

QUIET YOUR MIND from the flurry of the day and think on these verses:

“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31 (Also think about Romans 8:38-39.)

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7

“ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7

 

Until next time, stay strong in His might!
