TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
He gives power to the faint and
weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to
multiply and making it to abound].
Isaiah 40:29, AMP.
Isaiah 40:29, AMP.
TODAY'S WORD:
In the Bible, Joseph went through
seasons of difficulty. He was rejected by his family, sold into slavery, lied
about, mistreated, abandoned, falsely accused and thrown in jail.
But through it all, Joseph never
gave up. He kept pressing through and doing the right thing even though the
wrong thing kept happening. The Bible says in Psalm 105 verse 18 that as Joseph
lay in prison in those chains of iron, his soul entered into that iron. In
other words, as Joseph just kept on fighting life through, his soul became as
strong as that steel. God developed a supernatural strength in him that no one
could take away.
If you are going through difficulty
today, God wants to increase your strength. He wants to increase your power to
overcome. He wants to make your inner man as strong as steel. When you keep
standing, keep believing, keep doing the right thing, you are opening yourself
to God’s supernatural strength. That’s when you know you are growing in Him. Be
strong today. Keep pressing forward because God is at work increasing strength
in you so that you can live in victory in every area of your life!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father in
heaven, today I surrender every difficulty to You. I release the questions,
hurts and frustrations. I choose to trust You and do the right thing. Increase
Your strength in me so that I can live in the victory You have in store for me
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
