DEVO. 02.10.25

"The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time" (Psalm 34:18, 19 NLT)

- The Amplified puts it this way, "Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous."

- If you face troubles and difficulty, know this, you are not alone.

- If you are a follower of Christ you are going to face things that are difficult, things that stretch your faith and things that you don't understand.

- You can count on hardships.

- The amplified version says "MANY evils will confront you."

- They will test you, they will try to wear you out and rob your joy.

- But that's not the end of the verse ... There's a big "BUT" right in the middle.

- "but the LORD comes to the rescue each time".

- Each and every time.

- It is His power and strength that carries us on.

- Surrender to the strength that God provides

- His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

- 2 Chron. 16:9 says, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."

- Isaiah 40:29 says, "He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength."

- He wants to show Himself strong on your behalf.

- He wants to give you Hope in the middle of your storm.

- He wants to give you His power.

- Look at the words of Jesus in John 16:33, "In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

- Your situation cannot harm you, it can only strengthen you!

- Rely on His strength today!

- Trust in His abilities and Power!

- Take courage.

- Be confident.

- Be certain.

- Be Fearless!

- Have a great Monday!
