DO YOU WONDER IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO PULL IT OFF… ONE MORE DAY?
If so, then ponder this: “In all your journey as a believer, you will have two categories of spiritual
experiences. One is tender, delightful and loving. The other can be quite obscure, dry, dark, and desolate.
God gives us the first one to gain us; he gives us the second to purify us.” (Michael Molinos)
God is using every experience in your life to transform you into Christ’s character:
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of
his Son… ” (Romans 8:28, 29a)
Therefore: Choose today to praise Him for every eventuality that comes into your life,
viewing them as His ordained agents to make you more like Him.
God has given you the necessary resources to live life exactly as He intends:
“What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not
spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all
things?” (Romans 8:31, 32)
Therefore: Choose today to appropriate from Him whatever resources are necessary to
accomplish what He has put before you.
No accusation against you can stand. Imagine: Christ not only died for you but right now is
praying for you:
“Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that
condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God
and is also interceding for us.” (Romans 8:33, 34)
Therefore: Choose today to rest in the knowledge that your Sovereign God has declared you
righteous in His sight, and has forgiven (and forgotten) past sins. Thus, no accusation
against you stands. Draw strength in the knowledge that at this moment Jesus is in the
Father’s presence, praying for you.
In all life’s circumstances God promises you total victory as He encompasses you in His love:
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or
nakedness or danger or sword?… No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who
loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life… neither the present nor the future… nor
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.” (Romans 8:35, 37, 38a,c, 39b)
Therefore: Choose today to rest in His ever-present love, as you appropriate Him as your
resource in realizing victory over every obstacle or adversary
