TODAY’S WORD
Nobody faced more hardships for sharing his faith than the apostle Paul. Second Corinthians 11 lists some of them: beaten with rods three times, given thirty-nine lashes five times, stoned by an angry mob and left for dead, falsely accused and put in prison several times, shipwrecked, deserted by colleagues when he stood trial. Paul had all these opportunities to be angry and bitter. But near the end of his life, he gives us the secret to living in victory. He said, “I have fought the good fight, finished the course, and kept the faith.” He was saying, “Through all the difficulties, betrayals, and things I didn’t understand, God was in control and leading me to new levels of my destiny.”
Maybe today you need to dig down a little deeper. You’re letting doubt, delays, detours, discouragements, or what someone said cause you to live sour and upset. You need to get your passion back, get your joy back, get your vision back. What happened may not have been fair, but God has beauty for the ashes. Now do your part and keep the faith.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for being the God who is in control and always leading me to victory. Thank You that You have designed me to fight the good fight of faith and finish my race even when I am hard pressed by it. I declare that I will keep the faith and will one day receive the crown of righteousness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
