Daily Scripture: For Your Good

It’s so easy to see the negative in everything around us, especially when it seems like the downs outweigh the ups but we must remain positive and remember there is some good in the bad.  We all have purpose, a calling that will allow us to help expand the kingdom of God.  Everything we go through in life, even the bad, God will use for your good, to better us, strengthen us, and guide us in the direction He want us to go.  I know it’s hard to find comfort in the raging winds of life that are beating you down, but God is right there in the midst of the storm with you.  No matter what we go through in life, God is right there working everything out.  When the trials of life seem to be getting to you, when the attacks of the enemy seem to be winning, when it just seems like everything around you is crashing, be still and take comfort in know that because God is for you nothing or no one can be against you because God is working everything out for your good so that you can fulfill the purpose He predestine specifically for you!!!

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Daily Scripture: Abandon Me Not

They say you find out who your true friends are when you’re down to nothing, that those who aren’t truly your friend are there when everything is great but they abandon you once the going gets tough.  But I know of one TRUE friend that we all have that will not abandon us ever.  Regardless of what you are going through in life, whether you are at the top of the world or in the pits of the lowest valley, God will be right there with you.  Even when you turn your back on God, He waits patiently for us to return back to Him, to trust Him and obey Him so that He can fulfill everything He has promised for your life.  God is a loving God, a faithful God, and a friend like no other.  When you feel like you have no one, when you feel like some of the people you considered your fiend is now nowhere to be found and sometimes are out to destroy you, when it seems like you are in the valleys of life alone, remember you are not alone.  God is right there with you , will always be there with you and He will never abandon you!!!

³⁰ When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. ³¹ For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.~Deuteronomy 4:30-31
