Today’s Promise: 2 Corinthians 7:6

Discouragement is a part of life. All of us face times when we get tired, discouraged, or even depressed.

Some people think that once you become a Christian, you should never feel discouraged or even have to face depression.

The truth is, no matter who you are, there are times when you will face discouragement.

If you let Him, God will use others to encourage and strengthen you.

God never forgets you in your discouragement. He works behind the scenes to bring others into our life to comfort and encourage you.

Today’s promise: Philippians 4:8 

How you think affects every area of your life. If you allow negative thoughts to fill your mind, you become a negative person. If you fill your mind with positive thoughts, you become a positive person. This promise invites you to focus your mind on the good and positive things in life.

Our world is filled with negative messages and media. Every day you are bombarded with negativity. You have a choice on where you set your mind. 

God empowers you today to be a positive influence in your family, your career, and the world around you.

Today’s Promise: Psalm 9:10

When you know the Lord, you trust Him. The more you know the Lord, the more you will trust Him.

God reveals Himself through His Word. The Bible, gives us a clear understanding of who God is and what He is like.

However, knowing God is more than just knowing fact about God. God’s Word promises that we can know God personally.

Because you know Him so well, you trust Him completely. You know that when you knock on God’s door, He always answers and is ready to come to your aid.

Today’s promise: 1 Corinthians 15:58

God calls you to be steadfast and immovable in your faith. Every day, the world and the forces of darkness test your faith. God calls you to be firm and unchanging your trust and faith in Him.

To be steadfast is to be firm in your faith.

Immovable is a defensive term. No matter what your Satan throws at you, you will not be moved from your faith in Christ.

Remember, God always empowers you to accomplish what He commands. 

As you remain firm in your faith, you will abound in good works for the Lord.

Today’s Promise: James 4:6

God has a tender spot for the humble. Those who willingly submit their lives to Him find grace to face every situation.

Grace is God's love in action. When you humble yourself before God, His grace flows over you and into every area of your life.

The proud person thinks they don't need God. They think they can live a meaningful life without His help.

If you want God's grace to flow through your life, then humble yourself before Him.

God’s grace follows those are completely dependent on Christ.
