Trust and BElieve God is pleased with you and me

Let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." Psalm 35:27

Osteen highlights scripture from Psalm 35:27, which says, “Let them say continually, ‘Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.’" These words still REmain for me and you. Our Father will prosper us, but we must, as REcommended by Osteen, “Meditate on these thoughts: overflow, abundance, God takes pleasure in prospering me.” He goes on to say, “Don't you dare settle there with lack and not enough. That is where you are; it is not who you are.” Places are truly temporary but who we are is eternal. REmember, our Father is rich with houses and land, and He can do all things but fail. Now keep this perspective; we are His heirs. Let’s get out inheritance.

Isaiah 16

Let us REmain encouraged for no matter what comes to bring us down, as written in Isaiah 16:4-5, “The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land. In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it… one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.”

REflection from Promises for Your Everyday Life

Let us all REmember the title of today’s devotional by Joyce Meyer, “God Can Use Your Greatest Trials for Good”. Meyer says, “We know in part, but God knows all.” As we go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak) we don’t see in those moments how it’s going to lead to a breakthrough. As Meyer says, “You might be at the bottom of a pit, but God has a plan to use that pit to promote you in His call on your life.” As the scripture associated with today’s message REminds us, from Genesis 50:20, what’s intended to harm us, God intended it for good. Your tests will BE TESTimonies to save others; not just once, but along this JOurneY in life, and prosper you.

2 Corinthians 4:16

Never give up. Though as time progresses things inevitably change, our faith should continue to BE strengthened and REnewed as we look to and serve Christ. 🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

Trust and BElieve God is pleased with you and me, my friend.
