Overcome ALL Things!

January 28

The enemy of your soul, the evil one, God’s archenemy from eternity past is a master of the ‘bait and switch’ scam that he uses to snare people into believing something good is within their grasp but which will leave them empty and frustrated. Perhaps he has pulled such a scheme on you.
In spite of his malicious intent, the Christ you love and serve and trust will intervene to bring good out of evil, to bring hope out of despair, to bring joy out of disappointment, and to bring prosperity out of loss.

Your Jesus is able to make a way where no way is, for as the Word says, “With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible,” Matthew 19:26. As you ponder the future and realize your hope cannot be in any entity other than the REAL SOURCE of hope who is Jesus, and He has never changed.

Continue to keep your eyes focused on the Lord, for HE will not, He cannot fail you. Men, motivated by the evil one, may lie, men may offer false hope, but Jesus is THE TRUTH, John 14:6, and His word says, “COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD, TRUST ALSO IN HIM AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO PASS,” Psalm 37:5.

Psalm 42:5 says, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why are you so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

Please know that something that seems like a terrible setback will be transformed by our faith and the hand of the Living God into something that will give you great cause for rejoicing and thanksgiving.

Jesus doesn’t promise that His people won’t have difficulties; indeed, He says, “In the world you shall have troubles, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world,” John 16:33. He also says He “will be with you even to the end of the Age,” Matthew 28:20.

He has invited you to, “Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you,” I Peter 5:7, so lay this burden at His feet and trust Him to help you work It out to a viable conclusion. Remember, the One in whom we have placed our faith has promised that through Him, we can “overcome all things,” Philippians 4:13.
