September 19, 2010 ~ It's No Surprise to God




TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph…"

2 Corinthians 2:14

TODAY'S WORD:

In life, we all have to deal with the unexpected. Just because we're believers, just because we're good people or doing the right thing doesn't make us exempt from trouble. The scripture says, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust." In times when something unexpected happens, or you find yourself facing a crisis, you don't have to go into "panic mode" or fall apart emotionally. Remember, that crisis is no surprise to God. It may be unexpected to you, but God knows the end from the beginning. He has solutions to problems that you haven't even had.

I can't help but think of the movie "Home Alone"...the little boy who is accidentally left home by his family while they travel to another country for Christmas is able to improvise, adapt and overcome even in the most extreme circumstances as he eats, plays and prays even helping capture and punish some would be criminals. Remember God will give you all you need whatever comes your way.

He has equipped you for every battle, and He goes before you making your crooked places straight.

Selah people' and friends today, focus on the fact that He is with you. Remember that He is walking with you and guiding you to a place of peace and victory. No matter what has happened, He will take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it around for your good! He always leads us in victory, so keep moving forward trusting in the good plan He has for you!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Heavenly Father, I come to You with an open and humble heart. I thank You for the victory that You have in store for me even when I can't see it. I choose to trust You and Your goodness knowing that You are faithful. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

In Christ service,
Patrick
