“Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness” (Psalm 97:11-12)

There’s nothing too hard for God. How many times do we actually meditate on that truth? Our society has a tendency to forget the Lord and what he can do for his people if we’ll only trust him to bring it to pass.

Let me repeat it: there is nothing too hard for God. So many times we know how to believe God for other people, because God is a miracle working God. He knows every thing and he is sovereign. He meets all of our needs. He knows my uprising and my down sitting. He knows the very hairs of my head and still he is mindful of all his creation. He created the universe and he filled it with his glory, and still, he lives in me. His splendor outshines anything that man could ever put together.

Have you stepped outside lately to look up into the night sky? It’s tremendous. It’s truly God alone who could have created this universe.

If you’re sitting here today and worshiping God then he’ll meet you. God is truly more than enough to supply every need that we could ever have. Since God is all of these things: why do we fret when we feel pressure from the world? I must stay in prayer and encourage myself in the Lord, even when it seems that I walk alone.

The world tries in every way that it can to keep the saints of God defeated. If I allow the world to convince me that joy in the Holy Ghost isn’t for me, today, I may not pray until I have the joy of the Lord, which is my strength. If I’m not convinced that God is a rewarder of  those who diligently seek him, I might not bother to seek him. I know, beyond a doubt, that loving God with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength, will cause me to triumph with confidence.

When I ask God for his will: and question it; he teaches me to have faith. I used to worry until the Lord spoke to me through his word, “My grace is sufficient for thee”, and because he overcame the world, the enemy couldn’t destroy me. He told me to trust in him to bring a peace that passes all understanding, and now, the peace has arrived in my life, in the midst of the storm. It’s the same peace that I want the world to be confounded by when they see me. I may not have all of the answers, or know how the Lord will bring it all to pass, but I know that he’s faithful to deliver his promises. We serve a mighty God, and when people see me, I want them to see Jesus. God spoke the worlds into existence.

There’s no fear when we trust him; there’s no compromise if we walk with him. Compromise yields great pressure; standing on truth of God’s word will help you endure it to the end.
