Entrust your life to Him, and continue to endure and REmain encouraged within

“‘Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, ‘you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.’”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:41-42‬ ‭NIV‬‬

On this sabbath as we REst and BEgin to prepare for the week, let us REmember words spoken by Osteen in today’s devotional. “We have a responsibility. God has entrusted you with His life. Make this decision with me that you're going to redeem the time…. You're a person of destiny. With that gift of life comes a responsibility to develop your talents, to pursue your dreams, and to become who God's created you to be.” What is your plan of action to do what’s BEen put in you and to walk in what the Father has for you? The time is now; it’s your time.

Isaiah 38

As we move towards our destiny, let us REmember that it rains on the just and the unjust, and surely it was for our benefit that we suffered such anguish, but in His love He kept us from the pit of destruction, as in ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭38:17‬. We will have times in this life where we have to go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty,‭ Guilt, Heartbreak) to get to our breakthrough.

REflection from Promises for Your Everyday Life

As we work to continue to do the work of God, let us not fall in the “martyr trap”. Meyer says, “The ‘martyr trap’ is such an easy one to fall into. We start out serving our families and friends and loving it. But after awhile, our hearts begin to change and we begin to expect something in return.” Today’s scripture from Matthew 6:3 REminds us, “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Let us work and do things humbly, expecting nothing in REturn, mirroring our Father who has done and continues to do multifold in our lives.

Joshua 1:9

Let us focus and endure through the challenges and obstacles that may arrive, for they only come to prepare us for greater in our lives.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

Entrust your life to Him, and continue to endure and REmain encouraged within, my friend.
