One of the most painful, destructive ways the enemy will attack us is by suggesting you’re alone in your struggle. But please understand, that’s nothing but a big fat
lie from Satan himself, the father of lies (John 8:44).
God has given you the testimonies of His faithful servants so you’ll know He “will not fail you or forsake you.”
We read in Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee.”
They experienced times that tried their faith just as you and I do. And because they endured and trusted God, you can too!
Paul wrote in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were written afore time were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”
So what is it that you struggle with today? Do you need faith to receive a promise like Abraham (Romans 4)? Deliverance from the pit to the palace like Joseph (Genesis 37-50)? A path through a difficult obstacle like Moses (Exodus 14)? Strength to overcome adversity like Joshua (Joshua 6)? Forgiveness like David (Psalm 51)? Or provision like the disciples (John 6:1-14)?
Look to your predecessors in the faith and be encouraged (Hebrews 11). God didn’t fail them. Rest assured that He won’t disappoint you either.
Prayer thought: “Lord, thank You that I’m not alone in the trials I face. You’ve intervened for people throughout history, and I know You’ll help me, amen.”
For today, draw encouragement from God’s Word.
