TODAY’S WORD
God never says that we won’t go through trials, through hardships, through unfair situations. But Peter says that it is just for a little while. He doesn’t say “years from now” that your faith is going to be shown genuine and purified like gold. No, in just a little while you’re going to see God do something awesome in your life. In just a little while your health is going to turn around, your child will get back on course, you’ll overcome the addiction.
Don’t believe the forever lies that the enemy loves to whisper. “It’s going to be years before…” He’s trying to get you discouraged, doubting what God can do, to where you give up on your dreams. Don’t fall into that trap. God says in just a little while what you’re believing for is going to show up. Keep that playing in your mind. It’s not permanent, but in a little while. That’s how you wait with expectancy for the joy that’s ahead, knowing that in just a little while the God you serve is going to show up.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that the trials I go through are but for a little while, and You have purposed to use them for my eternal good. Thank You that You are the God of all grace and that You will bring me through them to the wonderful joy that’s ahead. I believe that greater is coming. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
