He's with you through your rough place
Friend, transitional seasons are tough. You don’t always know what God is up to, but know that He’s with you through your rough place. And when the time is right, a shift is going to take place in your life. It’s about to get better from here. God is making all things new.
That will do nothing to help you
All you need to do in order to reap the rewards God has for you is believe Him. Don’t doubt His power and strength. Do less scheming and more leaning. Stop trying to figure it out and talk it over with Jesus. He will lead and guide you. He alone can help you!
Stuck between desolation and destiny
When you’re stuck between desolation and destiny, you must tell yourself not to settle for less than you can have because you’re afraid of what it takes to have better. March forward in faith. Trust God to bring you out of this low place, no matter how slow the climb.
In an uncomfortable position?
In this current season, you may feel uncomfortable and imprisoned by your circumstances, but you’re not in prison. You’re in prep school. God is preparing you for what’s coming. Hold on. This isn’t the end of your story. God is getting you ready for an incredible breakthrough.
Don't be intimidated
Use this word as an antidote for fear and discouragement. Fight intimidation with faith. Believe that you are about to step into something great. Know that you have an inheritance waiting for you. There are things the Lord will do if you step out on His word!
Don't run away
Facing something hard? Don’t give up. If you run away now, you’ll forfeit those rich rewards. If you give up now, you’ll miss out on that due season harvest of blessings. If you throw in the towel now, you’ll pass up on the outpouring of favor headed your way.
You're being processed
In God’s Kingdom, there are some places you can’t step into without being refined, processed, matured, and worked on. Keep this in mind if you feel like you’re stagnant and you desperately want to see increase, elevation, and breakthrough.
God is setting you up
Things might look pretty awful right now. You feel trapped. But no. You are not stuck. You are just being set up for a wonderful and miraculous display of God’s power. Go forward in faith knowing that the best is yet to come.
Sick and tired of it?
What if you have been relying on God’s word, trusting His promises, and following His precepts, and yet, turmoil and a tremendous amount of trouble is in your life? What do you do when you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired? This devotion tells you!
God is increasing your wisdom
You’re about to go places you have never been; have what you’ve never had before; and do what man says is impossible. God is shining His light upon your face and giving you more wisdom!
God already blocked it
There is no need to worry about the enemy’s sneak attack. He’ll try to catch you off guard and ambush you. But you’ve got a Rear Guard, the Lord of Hosts, blocking the enemy’s weapons!
You won’t die in the storm
Everywhere you look, all you may see is wreckage. Your life may be in ruins, but you will not be ruined. God will bring you safely to the shore. You will not be swallowed up and drowned by the fierce waves.
You will rise again!
The same resurrecting power that cheated death in the Old Testament and raised Jesus from the dead on the third day, is yet working in your life. You may be in a low place, but you will rise again.
You have been released
The Lord is breaking you out of the shackles that bind you. He’s removing locks and releasing you. You will no longer be standing behind those prison bars. God is setting you free for His glory. You have work to do for the Kingdom. You have an anointing on your life. It’s your season of release.
Doors will fly open
God wants to open some doors, overcome some impossible odds, defeat some intimidating enemies, and catapult you to higher levels, so others will see and know there is a God in Heaven. He’s able to do what no other power can do for those who believe!
You will receive God’s best
When you say yes to God’s way, you receive His best. His presence shows up. He richly rewards you. He favors your efforts. He sees to it that things work out for you. In a world of selfish ambition and compromise, forsake all to follow Christ.
All you have is all you need
In distressing times, when you are confronted with seemingly insurmountable challenges, and the odds are stacked against you, remind yourself that you are in a position of favor with God. He’ll work in your favor despite what you lack. Wherever you may be deficient, the all-sufficient One has you covered.
God will speak for you
There are some awesome things on the way. God is about to openly put His hand on you, and all will know you are favored, and blessed. Some things are coming down the pike that will turn your life around. Though others may have overlooked you, God is going to speak for you!
Wait in faith
Friend, doubt is a thief. But faith causes you to reap rewards. When you believe in God’s word and trust in His promises, nothing can hold you back or rob you from getting all God has for you. When you remain confident in Him, you will receive what is promised.
You will see Him work!
In today’s inspiration, Dianna Hobbs admonishes you to to take on an attitude of faith while you’re going through this. Refuse to allow anything to steal your praise. Lift up your head. Keep your heart full of gratitude. Know you will see God work. But before you do, praise Him anyway.
