Is your faith little or is it big? That’s a better standard by which to measure you. If your faith is little, ask the Lord to increase it. If your faith is big, use it to challenge others to greater levels of confidence in the Lord.
Despite the younger generation’s behavior, God has designed us to work toward gaining a genuine independence from our parents, while learning total dependence on Him.
Don’t you think it’s time to turn from the past and look to what lies ahead? It’s never too late to allow the Lord to bring about genuine change in your life.
Surrender everything to Him. You can trust Him to bring new dimensions of His power in your weakness. God seems to do His best work when we are enduring our hardest times.
Take time today to allow the Lord to retune your heart to sing in harmony with His. To sing as David sang of the faithfulness and help God provides. Be ready! You just might hear your cave-dwellers singing along with you.
If you give up now, you have no idea the ultimate impact of that decision. By staying at it, you allow God to work things out for good and ensure that more and more in this watching world will be encouraged by your persistence.
That’s how God has always worked...precisely according to plan, and with everything fully under His sovereign control.
Trauma has been defined as “an injury (as a wound) to living tissue caused by an extrinsic agent...a disordered psychic or behavioural state resulting from mental or emotional stress.”
Ask the Lord to speak to you today from His Word. And when He does, reply as young Samuel did so many years ago, “Speak, your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10).
Take it from one who has learned this difficult lesson the hard way—keep a tight bridle on your tongue, relax, and settle for a good night’s sleep.
