Great rehearsal last night! Thanks for making the time to join together to bring our best to the Master. Love this devotional today. It reminds me of our anthem this Sunday:
Do Not Long for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal, since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth.
Begin each day anticipating problems, asking Me to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipping is My living Presence, My hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with Me. Take a lighthearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and I together can handle. Remember that I am on your side, and that I have overcome the world.
John 16:33 33“I have told you these things, so that in me you mayhave peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Isaiah 41:13 13 For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Philippians 4:13 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
