rogfam Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Got this devotional today and thought if very appropriate for us all. In His Love, Christy 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 The Message 13 No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. All of us have been tempted to lose hope and give up. But we always have a choice: focus on God and stay in faith, or focus on the problem and give up. Problems -- no matter how huge they seem to us -- are no problem to God. Nothing is too hard, or complicated, for God to solve. But God wants us to trust Him. So what should you do when you are being tempted and feel like giving in and giving up? Refuse! Just keep your focus on the Lord and rejoice in His faithfulness. Remember that God cannot lie, and will never fail. God will see you through. HEBREWS 10:23 NKJ 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. When the devil tries to steal your faith, he tries to get you to quit speaking in agreement with the Word of God. Don't let it happen! Hold fast to speaking your faith! Keep on saying what the Word of God says about you and your situation. Don't be moved by the circumstances. GALATIANS 6:9 NIV 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Don't grow weary. Keep your eyes on the Lord. His Word will work and produce a harvest of blessing in your life. Don't doubt it! SAY THIS: I will keep trusting in God and never give up!

Ann Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I gave this to my friend and she got all teary eyed and said that she just forgets sometimes how very much she has going for her. I told her that a wonderful friend from the message board shared this with me. Wow...another Ann??? My boys say I'm a really good mom and I'm sure you feel the same way about your Ann.

rogfam Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 I'm so glad you gave this to your friend. It's so easy to let our eyes stray from God, we have so much going on, too much sometimes. It's nice to know He's always with us and that He's in control, and that we're not going through anything He doesn't already know about. I know your boys are blessed to have you, as I am to have my momma. Yes, I've always told her, since I was little, that she was the bestest momma in the whole wide world. and she is. She so strong and courageous, but she doesn't even see it.. This board has a tendency to make me very emotional... But that's a good thing. Prayers and ((hugs)) to you and your family and friend.
