Daily Devotional for July 31, 2021
“As thy days, so shall thy strength be.”
Deuteronomy 33:25 KJV
This week I have spoken to individuals in my personal and professional life about how we sometimes have to lose to win. This morning, Osteen speaks to how he lost a BEst friend when he lost his dad in 1999. However, he said, “God blessed me in so many other areas that I’m not living in a deficit.” In that case, and though painful, he had to lose to win. I’ve experienced the same thing. In only a few months I lost my home, my marriage, and my father, yet I gained a stronger faith, and God has multiplied things in my life and blessed me in ways I could have never imagined. The battles of even loss are not yours. The battles are the Lord’s. Let go and let God in your life. He’s never lost a battle, and He never will.
Leviticus 8
As written in Leviticus 8:35, let us always strive day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord.
REflection from Enough:Silencing Lies That Still Your Confidence
In this last message from Sharon Jaynes, she REminds us that we are more than enough. Highlighting scripture from Jeremiah 1:5, Before He formed us in the womb He knew us, before we were born He set us apart; He appointed us… God knew our purpose and our worth to this world. Jaynes goes further to say, “Not only did God know you before you were born and choose you to be His child, He appointed you to bear fruit.” We are hear to produce—give of our time, talents and treasures. We are to give of what is unique to us that He has blessed us with or the ability to do. Similar to our Bennett Belles who say, “Bennett chose me”, John 15:16, is evident that we were chosen; Jesus said, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” Ask the Savior to help you today to do and BE and give of your very BEst in this life in which you have BEen granted another day to live.
Ephesians 3:20
Let us commit to give Him all the glory and all that we can give, and He has promised that He will give us more than we could ever ask or think. 🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
Search your soul and serve with the Savior this Saturday, my friend.
