Ten Things God Wants You to Remember

Monday, January 16, 2017

Life can be demanding and discouraging at times. Especially for those of us in ministry, because we are trying to balance family, church and life on top of trying to please everyone so many times. So often, we allow all “the stuff” to discourage us and we forget how much God loves us.

I received a Day Spring Card sometime back that I wanted to share the text with you today:

Ten Things God Wants You to Remember

I am for you.
I love you.
I believe in you.
I will not fail you.
I will be with you.
I will provide for you.
I will bless you
I will give you rest.
I will strengthen you.
I will answer you.

The Lord bless you and keep you. Numbers 6:24

These are only 10 of God’s many promises. I pray you will claim these ten and when Satan is trying to discourage you, you will claim His promises.

Be determined to not allow the stress of ministry get you down and overwhelmed, but instead rest in His promises and be encouraged!
