Word For Today

Jesus came to give us victory over sin, over death, and over all the things that try to destroy us. When difficulties arise, the solution is not in our strength or in our intelligence. Jesus is the solution. Trust in Him, obey Him, and He will give you victory.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble, or hardship, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
- Romans 8:35–37

Christ gives us strength to move forward and to overcome in His name. When we focus our eyes and our hearts on the immense power of God, we realize that with Him, sooner or later we will see victory. Nothing is impossible for God!

Decide to walk hand in hand with Jesus today, letting Him guide your steps and your decisions. Whatever situation you may have to face today, take a moment to receive His peace and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Your perspective will change because you will focus on the One who loves you more than you can imagine.

Fix your eyes on Christ and move forward in victory!

Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
- Hebrews 12:2

With Jesus you can have victory over:

• Anxiety
• Discouragement
• Difficult Times

Sometimes you may think that God has forgotten you. Trials come at you from every direction, and you feel overwhelmed. David, in Psalm 13, expressed his frustration at feeling alone and abandoned in the midst of hardship.

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
- Psalm 13:1

However, he brought his sorrow before God, lifted his eyes to speak with Him, and chose to keep trusting in his heavenly Father. David focused on the salvation and goodness he had already received from the Lord.

But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.
- Psalm 13:5–6

And you, will you choose to trust the Lord? Will you focus on what He has already done for you? Talk to God today and decide to keep trusting in His love and power. Make a list (in your mind or in writing) of times when you saw God work on your behalf, moments when you received an unexpected solution to a problem that weighed you down.

Thank God for the ways you’ve seen seemingly impossible prayers answered. Remember His faithfulness in your life and choose to trust His love, even amid the challenges life brings.

Yet I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
- Psalm 27:13–14
