THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
GOD HAS PROMISED VICTORY, AND IT’S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
What are YOU trusting God for today? A PROMOTION? HEALING? Stronger RELATIONSHIPS? Freedom from ADDICTION? God has promised ALL these things in His Word. He desires for you to live in blessing and wholeness EVERY day of your life. However, to EXPERIENCE His promises, we must do OUR part. We must continue to believe and TRUST in Him. Today’s verse tells us that if we remain FAITHFUL, if we keep BELIEVING, HOPING, and doing the right THING, God promises there will be a REWARD. One translation puts it this way: “Don’t get discouraged. PAYDAY is coming!”
Have you been praying and believing for something that’s taking LONGER to manifest than you EXPECTED? Often, people miss out on God’s BEST because they give up before their “due SEASON” arrives. Do NOT let that be YOU! Be ENCOURAGED today; your answer is CLOSER than you think. If it seems like things are getting TOUGHER, remember, the increased INTENSITY means you’re closer to your VICTORY. It’s ALWAYS darkest just before dawn. You serve a FAITHFUL God who is working behind the SCENES for you. Don’t lose your confidence today, for your reward IS on its way. And just as a new mother FORGETS the pain of labor when she holds her newborn, you’ll forget YOUR struggle when you’re holding your PROMISE. While waiting, maintain an attitude of FAITH and EXPECTANCY. Wake up each morning and declare, “I’ve come too FAR to give up now. My due season IS coming. I WILL reap my harvest.” Keep the faith and LOOK for His blessings because He has promised you VICTORY, and it’s CLOSER than you THINK!
Today’s Scripture:
“So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!”
Hebrews 10:35, NLT
