Reflections for February 2017

 Our Savior is concerned with who you are today--not who you were.
 ____________

Each day He entrusts you with His "reputation."
__________

 We must view all circumstances through the same lens: He loved us so much that He died for us--willingly. Unasked. He loves us just as much now as He did then.
____________.

A prayer for each day: "Lord, encourage the exhausted, strengthen the feeble, say to the anxious heart, 'Take courage, fear not, I will be with you. You will be overtaken by gladness and joy.' " And yes, that's you and me.
____________

Why are we afraid to pray, "I don't know what to do?" We pray to the covenant keeping God who is always at hand. We pray to the Creator King of the entire universe. We pray to the Living God. He knows what to do, how to do it, and when to do it so that it will be for our good and His glory. And nothing is impossible with God.
__________

 How many times when I see Him in His glory will He be able to say:
 "Because you prayed to Me, I . . "?  Let Him involve you in His eternal plans for the present tense.
____________

It is not arrogance to remind God of His promises. It's believing faith.
___________

The enemy often tries to convince us that we have been abandoned by God. How do you defeat that lie? Down on your knees. Waiting on the eagle's wings of faith. Remembering His past faithfulness.
