When everyone and everything fails you, God will be all that you need and more. When your body fails you, your heart is weak and your soul is weary, He will rise up in you and give you the strength that you long for and the healing you so desperately need. In the face of uncertainty you can depend on Him. When everyone leaves you, He is omnipresent. When your disappointments appear insurmountable, He proves Himself to be faithful. You can face and overcome any challenge in life with God. He is the definition of victory. Be encouraged and trust God in every season of your life.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” Isaiah 43:18 (NIV) Your past is called that for a reason. It’s a stage you have moved beyond, a point in time that God has brought you through. No matter what is in your former days, He desires to use you. Do not pitch your tent in yesterday. God is doing something new. It is difficult to fully embrace it all and move forward while looking back. If we are not careful the past will immobilize us and rob us from truly enjoying the here and now. Keep your focus on all that God is doing in your life in this season. Your previous place should not have power over your current space. Don’t allow your past to rob your future. Yesterday was a gift. Today is a present. As you open your hands to let go of the former things, you put yourself in position to receive. Seize the moment.

The Great Defender: We all have challenges on this journey called life. There will be seasons of great joy but also times of persecution and hardship. In spite of what you are going through, God will protect you always. If you are dealing with an attack from your enemies, He is faithful to fight on your behalf. If you are fighting for your life due to illness, watch God move mightily. Perhaps you are weak and tired of the struggle in your mind and body, let His strength rise up within you. If your problems overwhelm you and seem to accumulate by the day, release it into God’s care. He will keep you. Whatever your fight is, from within or without, you have an advocate that will defend you to no end. Be encouraged.

“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31(NIV) It is very important for us to take time to retreat and be restored and renewed. Often we can pour so much out that we don’t take the necessary time to be refilled. It is a blessing to care for others and be responsible in life. However, self-care is just as important to your overall well-being. If you are feeling drained and tired, remember to take some time to rest. In the midst of all your scheduling, make time for you. Settle down, relax, and soak in the presence of God. Create a healthy routine in your life that is balanced and experience peace of mind.

If you are waiting for someone or something to make you happy, the wait is over. Each new day is a reason to celebrate. Embrace the opportunity to have new experiences. Appreciate what you have, rather than lament over what you lack. Turn all negative thoughts around and find hope in every situation. Be intentional about having peace of mind today and experience true joy. Don’t let your circumstances dictate your emotions. Everything may not be the way you desire. Change what you can and give the rest to God. Say to yourself, “Today I choose to enjoy my life.”

In the presence of God we find our safe place. He will protect and keep us in times of adversity. We have no need to fear. He will fight our battles and shield us. When you are under attack or feeling ambushed by life, retreat to your hiding place and find your security in His loving arms. The battle is not yours, it’s the Lord’s. When you are a target, the dart is aimed towards He who holds you in the palm of His hand. He will not let you be harmed. Find rest and confidence in the assurance that you have a mighty force fighting on your behalf. And the battle is already won.

Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.” (NIV) Often when we are going through difficult times it can begin to get us down. I encourage you to zone in on God more intently than you focus on your troubles. He is your refuge, your very help in the time of trouble. Don’t allow your thoughts and emotions to dwell in despair. Keep your hope safely nestled and securely anchored in the one who cares. God is moving, even when we have mustard seed faith. No matter what it looks like declare, “My God is bigger than what I am facing and I will come out of this whole, healthy and victoriously.” Be encouraged.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot hidden.” Matthew 5:14 (NIV) There is so much going on in the world today. Regardless of what we see on the news or the images in magazines, we cannot let it get us down. We must be the beacon of light in the midst of darkness. Show love in the sea of hatefulness. Reflect peace during times of turbulence. Share generously when others are selfish. Do what is right and noble, when tempted to do wrong. Be an example of the goodness of God at all times. Even in the most wicked places you can let the glory of God illuminate in you and through you. Be the change agent you were created to be. Don’t let anyone dim your glow. Light it up wherever you go.

“Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 (NRSV) Whatever you are in need of God is your primary source. It is by His grace and mercy that all your concerns will be met and prayers are answered. He may move through individuals, but He is always the true source of all your blessings. You don’t have to buddy up to anyone or attempt to join popular alliances. Simply seek God and watch Him move on your behalf. He is the most influential association you will ever need. Get connected and stay connected to the real power source.
