Don’t fake it, faith it in this life
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
Osteen says this morning, “I've learned that the closer you get to your destiny, the tougher the battles become…. That challenge is a sign that you are close to your destiny.“ Similarly, I tell those that I coach and engage with that you have to go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak) for your breakthrough. Birth is one of the greatest challenges, for a woman has to carry a child in her womb for months with the unknown and with discomfort and pain, even throughout delivery. Yet all that she goes through welcomes the greatest gift of new life. If you want to birth something new in your life know that challenges and pain will come, but it will all BE for your gain.
Isaiah 65
We don’t have to worry about anything in this life when we walk with the Lord, He says in Isaiah 65:13-14, “My servants will eat, but you will starve. My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. My servants will rejoice, but you will be sad and ashamed. My servants will sing for joy, but you will cry in sorrow and despair.”
REflectiom from Promises for Your Everyday Life
Meyer’s devotional this morning is titled “Rejoice in the Hope of Experiencing God's Favor”. She says, “Everything that is promised in the Bible is for us. So rejoice in the hope of experiencing God's glory right now and He will make incredible things happen in your life.” But there is one thing we have to have that activates everything else, and that’s faith. Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Are you confident in the Father’s promises for you and me? If so, REmain faithful and know that there is so much in store for our lives that we cannot even imagine or see.
Psalm 27:14
Strength and courage develop with time, so know waiting is not a sign of weakness but wise in order to ensure what the Lord is preparing you to accomplish and get through.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
Don’t fake it, faith it in this life, my friend.
