You have a plan to prosper and not to harm us, but to give us a future and hope of a new life in Christ. You have given Your Word that You will finish the work You started in us (Philippians 1:6). We know You do not halfway do anything. You started the work in us, and You will be sure to complete it. Rejoice, my sisters and brothers, whatever you are going through right now, just know that God is not finished, so the best is yet to come! Every one of your needs, He will supply! While you are waiting, He will give His perfect peace. His peace of protection will guard your heart and keep your mind in Christ Jesus. “Your Word!”

Lord, when our world keeps shaking and we are breaking, help us to be patient and wait on You to renew our strength. Lord, we need Your strength when the rain won’t stop pouring all over us. Through every heartbreak, every setback, and every battle, help us to be patient. Help us not to turn back, but preserve, and do thy Will, so we will receive everything You have promised. Patience!!!

Far too long we have lived in a society where justice is based upon those who have money and power and those who do not. Harsh laws, unjust political powers, poverty, and unrighteous decisions by those in leadership and the judicial system or by the pride and power of wicked people have influenced what is justice! God is not silent about His intentions and views regarding justice. God said do not pervert justice by showing favoritism to the rich or partiality to the poor. Judge every case honestly and fairly, Leviticus 19:15 (KJV). For those who won’t, the Lord will execute righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed! (Psalms 103:6)

Today's focus scripture reminds us that “No weapon” that is formed against us shall prevail and every tongue shall be condemned.  It might seem as if evil is winning, but we get to declare victory because God's power is at work.  We are on the winning team! We are invincible when God is the force working in and through us!  

Sometimes, as we walk faithfully with the Lord, we will enter situations where suffering is tagged on to our obedience. In those times, in those moments, God is helping us to develop our characters, and to grow our faith and dependence on Him.

Today’s focus scripture reminds us that when we walk through deep waters, God will be with us!  When we walk through the fire, we will not get burned because God is with us.  As we walk with God, in faith, there is no need to fear because God is holding our hand and leading us into His perfect will.  We are more than conquerors because God is fighting our battles and ordering our steps.  “I Will Be With You!”

While on earth, Jesus made it His mission, among other salvation matters, to encourage His followers to look up towards heaven for things that are eternally blessed. In doing so, we are lifted to a higher plain of expectations and standard of life while we sojourn through this life.

As children of God sharing His covenant, God reveals His secret to us. No, He doesn’t reveal all secret things, but the things He reveals belong to those who trust and obey Him. God reveals everything we need to know to be saved and to follow Him in obedience. God pardons our iniquity as we repent of our sins. We who honor and worship Him, God will share His secrets.
