Bible Verses:
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. John 14:1
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:24
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:6-9
Devotion:
Have you ever felt kind of down in your walk with God? Like you just feel defeated about the circumstances in your life? Sometimes the devil comes and tries to get us down. It can be so easy to let the devil come and discourage us, and the sad thing is, a lot of the time we let him do it. We have got to keep looking to Jesus! When I say this I'm not just telling it to you, I am saying it to myself, too. When we are not staying in the Word and in Prayer this is when we are weak and the devil can come and steal our joy. It is satan's goal to get us down in our walk with God and make us feel bad, but when this happens we have to stand up to him and say, "You have no right being here and I have the victory through Jesus Christ! You had better be gone satan!" Don't forget that we are the ones with authority, not him. Let us be victorious in our walk with God!
