Continue to Rise

Just when the enemy thought he had your mind completely because circumstances in life were becoming too overwhelming for you. Right at the very moment his confidence level was at an all-time high thinking he had succeeded in keeping you down, rendered you useless, stole your smile and laughter, and ultimately left you in a defeated st...ate of mind, you rose. When we come to discover that Jesus is bigger than any circumstance life faces us with our focus shifts. We no longer keep company to misery because we know that the one who fights our battles is above and mightier than all. He has the power to INTERVENE, ALTER, and totally CHANGE any situation we face for the good, and for the betterment of us in the long run. God doesn’t leave his chosen high and dry. You are his love investment. He will never abandon us; he will be our comforter, and our help. He will as he said impart his strength to us in times when we are at our lowest. He is still a wonder.

Just when we think we cannot carry for another second the weight of the burdens of life, God comes in like a flood and shows us that as long as he sits on the throne there is a reason to never feel we are without hope. Help is always available because HE is the KING of kings and the LORD of lords. All power remains HIS, nothing gets past him, and ultimately anything that happens must be permissible by him first. He knows each of us by name and every obstacle in life we have, will, and are presently facing. Make a liar out of the devil, show him who your Master is, continue to stand firm and strong in the Lord. Retain your joy, your smile, your laughter and your hope in knowing that nothing can separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus; not death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing. (Romans 8:38-39)
