THE 22nd OF JANUARY
THROUGH JESUS, OUR LIVES ARE HIDDEN WITH HIM IN GOD
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” Colossians 3:3-4
The devil uses those who are his to try to stop us from doing what the Lord called us to do, but Jesus who is in us, is greater than the evil one (1 John 4:4)! We could not face some situations in our own strength and keep our peace if we did not choose to thank Jesus that He will help us get through this situation as He has done so many times in the past.
Our faith becomes stronger and stronger with every trial we face, as we realize that we have gone far beyond what we thought was our endurance limit for something that difficult. When all goes well, it is easy to have great faith and the right attitude. Only when we go through trials, do we find out what is really in our hearts and what needs to be changed, so that we can become more and more like Jesus. We live on this earth to prepare for eternity, and the condition of our hearts and our true motivation is what matters!
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Praises, glory and honor to You dear Lord, for all that You are and do for me daily! You never leave me alone and I can count on Your help in everything. Only with Your help can I get over the situation I am going through and remain strong in faith all the way. Thank You that whatever the devil tries to do to my destruction, You change for my good in the long term. Your will is for me to become more and more like You, therefore, please help me to continue to grow in knowing You and in what You want me to become, doing everything as unto You. In the Name of Jesus. Amen
