NOVEMBER 8

LEARN TO APPRECIATE DIFFICULT DAYS. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with Me, gain confidence from your knowledge that together we can handle anything. This knowledge is comprised of three parts:
—your relationship with Me,
—promises in the Bible,
—and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times.

Look back on your life, and see how I have helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, “Yes, but that was then, and this is now,” remember who I am! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, I remain the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In My Presence you live and move and have your being.

MEDITATION:
“fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
‭‭—Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭

“but you are the same, and your years have no end.”
‭‭—Psalm‬ ‭102‬:‭27‬ ‭

“for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’”
‭‭—Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭28‬ ‭

TODAY:
For God there is no "then"; there is only "now." In what ways are you encouraged that He is ever the same, no matter your circumstances?

PRAY:
Precious Lord, I have awakened to this day with a new awareness of your love for me. Bless my preparations for what I have to do today. Grant me, I pray, the grace to hear the whispering of the Holy Spirit guiding me in thought, word and action. Wherever my path leads me, I trust you! Amen.

Joy is much stronger than happiness. Happiness may flee in the face of turmoil, but joy remains constant and sure.

Have a blessed Friday! TGIF!🙏
