It's morning, noon
or night, yet all is well with my soul. Well, maybe not all . . . the world is
raging around us; relationships are breaking apart; families are being
destroyed; souls are being lost; churches are in disarray. These disturb my
soul!
I will not ignore
the realities, however. Instead, I will be proactive. I will pray and seek
God's will concerning how I am supposed to respond in my immediate
"world." And in every case, I refuse to be overwhelmed by the
circumstances and needs. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to minister and I
will boast in the Lord.
Though the enemy
rages against God and his Christ (Psa. 2), I will bless the Lord at all times!
I will continually praise him! He is greater than the enemy. God has never been
defeated. He is greater than all my problems. He is greater than all my deficits.
He is greater than all my needs. Our God is greater!
You see? I am asking
God to look at the enemy's threats and grant boldness and courage to me in
order that I may minister effectively for his kingdom. I am asking God to operate the fruit of the
Spirit in me. I am asking for the gifts of the Spirit to operate in my ministry
by the name of Jesus. And I believe that I will receive what I ask for, because
God is greater than any weapon the enemy may form against me.
Our God is so much
greater than our finite minds can imagine or even understand. If we don't
cautiously protect our faith, we will begin to magnify our circumstances and
the enemy's raging above the power of our God.
O magnify the Lord
with me! "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world
does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the
contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds" (2Corinthians
10:3-4 NIV).
Dear Father, who
made the universe and all that is in it, we believe and are certain that you
cannot be defeated. We know the battle is yours and not ours. Empower us to
magnify you above all else. This I pray in the name of Jesus. AMEN
Be strong and
courageous today magnifying the Lord,
