    Who God Is

    As we come to the end of January 2018, I pray things are going well for you in your personal life and your ministry.

    I received a DaySpring Card I wanted to share the text with you today:

    Ten Things God Wants You to Remember

    1. I am for you.
    2. I love you.
    3. I believe in you.
    4. I will not fail you.
    5. I will be with you.
    6. I will provide for you.
    7. I will bless you
    8. I will give you rest.
    9. I will strengthen you.
    10. I will answer you.

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

    I know how overwhelming life and ministry can become even at the beginning of a new year. When we are faced with challenges and hardships in life, we can sometimes begin to question if God has forsaken us or whether we can make it through another day.

    So no matter what you may be going through or what you may face this week, claim God’s promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Claim these ten promises listed plus hundreds more not listed here and when Satan is trying to discourage you, go back to His Word and His promises and tell Satan where to go.

    Be encouraged!
