THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

INSTEAD OF DWELLING ON WHAT ‘YOU’RE’ NOT, DWELL ON WHAT OUR GOD ‘IS’

Many misconceptions about God ABOUND in the world today. Some believe He is ANGRY with them, while others think He is tallying their WRONGS. However, this is NOT the message of Scripture. Scripture reveals that God is GRACIOUS, PATIENT, and LOVING; He is FORGIVING and does NOT treat us according to our sins. Scripture affirms that God is on OUR side, and if God is WITH us, who can stand AGAINST us?

Consider this for a moment: the same God who fashioned the heavens and the earth, who brought the UNIVERSE into being and knows you INTIMATELY, is your ALLY and desires the BEST for you. Today’s verse POWERFULLY reminds us that when God is FOR us, no one can triumph OVER us. Not the pain of your PAST, not any ERROR you’ve made, not the forces of DARKNESS, your fiercest ADVERSARY, an unstable ECONOMY, a challenging housing market, or ANYTHING else in this world.

Today, focus NOT on what you are not, but on what He IS—He is FAITHFUL, He is LOVING, He is PRESENT with you, and He is your ADVOCATE. With God on your side, you are on the path to VICTORY every day of your LIFE.

Today’s Scripture:

“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”

Romans 8:31, NLT
