When on the journey, it will be long and difficult. It will be this way at times because God doesn’t always give you a full timeline and view of the journey. He doesn’t tell you all the ins and outs of the journey. He doesn’t show you everything. This can be frustrating and discouraging. There may be times you want to give up because of this.
You must TRUST GOD.
He will be with you until the work He began in you is finished. Philippians 1:6 (NASB) says, “For I am
confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will
complete it by the day of Christ Jesus.
God always finishes what He starts.
He will complete the work in you.
When you get weak, tell God how you are feeling. He already knows what you’re feeling, but
telling Him will help you feel better.
Talk to Him. HE wants to hear
what you have to say. He wants to know
your heart. He understands your feelings
more than you do, anyway. Cry out to God. Ask Him for His help as it says in Psalm
105:4 (NASB) - Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually. Be humble in everything you do. Thank God for all that is good as 1
Thessalonians 5:18 (NASB) reminds us… “In everything give thanks, for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” And always, Keep God as your FOCUS.
To keep yourself on task while on the journey, remember to
pray, read your Bible, and remember what God promised you.
We can be confident on this journey… GOD STARTED YOU ON IT… HE
WILL FINISH IT!
This is your journey.
Have a FUN ADVENTURE, filled with JOY. Focus on
your PURPOSE. Remain true to your
FAITHFULNESS. Trust God through the
ANXIETY, FEAR, GRIEF, and PAIN. Adhere
to godly WISDOM. Maintain HOPE in Jesus,
and you will have the VICTORY.
Blessings,
