C ontinue To Press ! Forget the past, look forward to what lies ahead and press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us! (Philippians 3:13-14) Your Best Is Yet To Come ! Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? Run To Win! (1Corinthians 9:24) No matter what's happening today, God has good things in store for your future! God has a plan to take every difficulty, every adversity you go through and supernaturally turn it around and use it to bring you good. (Romans 8:28) God will use those tough times to bring you out stronger, more mature and prepared for promotion! Goodness, mercy, and unfailing love are God’s plan for you, but your “press” needs to be constant, steady and relentless, until you receive the prize and the goal that you’re reaching for—the Victor’s Crown! So, just remember, no matter what, Press On! God’s Word To You : “Forget what happened in t...

No One Who Waits For God Will Ever Be Put To Shame! (Psalm 25:3) God Has A Blessing With Your Name On It ! No good thing will God withhold from those who walk uprightly! (Psalm 84:11) Do you believe God will give you the desires of your heart if you delight in Him? (Psalm 37:4) Even if you do, waiting for them can be painful. But time spent waiting on God, is never wasted time, so don't give up! Don’t stop believing! Stay full of hope and expectation it will bring you great rewards! (Hebrews 10:35) God's power is limitless, so receive God’s unfailing grace & mercy and trust God something good is going to happen for you! God’s Word To You : “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown!” (Revelation 3:11) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I find strength in your Word to wait on you, knowing Your grace is sufficient for me. I thank You, because You have everything within You’re timing and power and You know me so intimately that each...

Fear Not; Stand Still, Firm, Confident, Undismayed And See The Salvation Of The Lord Which He Will Work For You Today ! (Exodus 14:13) God Is Your Personal Bravery, Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) …know the unlimited greatness of His power as it works with might and strength for us, the believers! (Ephesians 1:19) It’s easy to trust God and say, “Lord I trust You with everything” when health is good, just got a raise on your job and bills are paid on time. If God stripped you of everything, life hurts, you prayed and believed, but things didn’t go as you planned, will you still trust Him? For many of you, God has allowed some of those very things to happen in your life. He has taken what was familiar and ordered your steps into unfamiliar territory. (Psalm 37:23) You may not understand what’s happening in your life; what to do or where to go, but you know the Lord gave you a promise, a word, a vision, an idea etc… I understand the feeling and you’re not alone. No matter ho...

Don’t Give Up Too Soon ! You Will Reap A Harvest Of Blessing, If You Don't Give Up! (Galatians 6:9) All Of Your Help Comes From The Lord ! I Lift Up My Eyes To The Mountains—Where Does My Help Come From? My Help Comes From The Lord, The Maker Of Heaven And Earth! (Psalm 121:1-2 NIV) Sometimes we need to be reminded that the Lord is our helper and He is the powerful God who created the entire world we live in and enjoy. Not only does He watch over the entire universe, but He also watches over and protects us day and night! It’s easy to let feelings take control of our lives, when life is hard, when we’re weary and feel like we’re in a valley, but we must always remember we have promises from God that do not change like the weather. These promises from God are true no matter how we feel, what we are experiencing and no matter what struggle we face: God is our place of safety! He gives us strength! He is always there to help us in times of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) God’s Word To You ...

The Faithful Love Of The LORD Never Ends ! (Lamentations 3:22-23) God’s Mercies Never Cease ! They are new every morning—great is Your faithfulness! (Lamentations 3:22-23) Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God's love for us! (Romans 5:8) Suffering, sorrow or persecution cannot stop our heavenly Father’s love for us. God has been with us since the beginning. He’s seen us during our happiest moments, our failures, our weakest moments and He’s not about to give up on us now. When you get discouraged, focus your mind on how much God loves you. As you meditate on His unconditional love, allow faith to rise in your heart. Throw all your worry on Him, because He cares for you! (1 Peter 5:7) God’s Word To You : “Place my yoke over your shoulders, and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for your soul, because My yoke is easy and My burden is light!" (Matthew 11:30) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I thank You...

God Made A Dry Path Through The Red Sea, And His People Went Across On Foot! (Psalm 66:6, Exodus 14:29) Everything Will Be alright! Be Encouraged! Be Strong ! (Daniel 10:19) Sometimes we need to be reassured and reminded that God is still active in our lives and He knows our name and our circumstances. It is to be understood that there may be days of discomfort and weariness while we wait for God's Word to become visible concerning the conditions of our lives, but it is also to be understood that God will never leave His children deserted! (Hebrews 13:5) He is always on time, according to His will for us! (Psalm 46:1) God’s Word To You: “For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, today, tomorrow and in all the days to come, speak to me about Your plans for my life. I need You, so I ask that You continue to strengthen...

God Hides You In His Shelter When There Is Trouble! He Sets You High On A Rock! (Psalm 27:5) The Lord Will Rescue You From Every Evil Attack ! (2 Timothy 4:18) If you’re serving the Lord in faith and living your life according to His will, rest assured, this promise belongs to you! No matter what evil attack comes your way, you do not have to surrender to it. God didn’t send it, because God is not a God of sickness, cruelty, terror or fear. In fact, God promises, if you call on Him in times of trouble, He will rescue you and you will give Him the honor! (Psalm 50:15) Do not give in to the lies of satan, instead put your faith in what God has promised you and always remember, “The evil weapon formed against you will not succeed, but you will!” (Isaiah 54:17) God’s Word To You: “Remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age!" (Matthew 28:20) Pray this prayer with me: Father, I thank You for being my refuge, my strength and my savior. I thank You for ke...
