Preparing for Promotion

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world"

(John 16:33 NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Are you going through a season of difficulty? Does it seem like for every step you take forward, you take two steps back? The Bible tells us that hard times and difficulty will come in this life, but we can rejoice because God promises us victory!

Whatever you may be facing today, make the decision that you are going to shake off negative thinking and trust that God is working behind the scenes. The more we trust Him and exercise our faith in Him, the more we are preparing ourselves for promotion. Focus on the fact that brighter days are just ahead. Weeping may endure for a night, but when you fight the good fight of faith, God promises that joy is coming in the morning! If you'll work with God, He'll take that adversity, turn it around, and use it for your good. It may be uncomfortable at times, but you've got to know that you are growing. God is maturing you. He is building character in you, and he is preparing you for the promotion and increase He has in store for your future!

This is so true. It is the school of he Holy Spirit, isn't it. We too have to eat what we say. The flesh wants to take matter in its own hand. Jesus says we have to die daily. We loose our life in Him, for our life is hidden in Christ. Thanks for sharing. I received it in Christ.

 

[Lacey]

Sometimes the night is veeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyy long. But we keep pressing forward, assurrred of His love and plan for us. Don't give up the fight! The rewards are eternal!
