Quote for Today

“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart.”

WORD FROM THE HOLY BIBLE FOR TODAY

2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (NIV®)

“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

 

REFLECTION

IF YOU ARE IN A DIFFICULT PLACE, GOD HAS NOT ABANDONED YOU

Perhaps you, like Paul, live with a chronic condition. Whether physical or mental, pain can be very isolating. It can diminish our interest in the world around us. It can make us feel we are being unfairly targeted, and no one can really understand what we are going through. I want you to know, if you are in that difficult place, God has not abandoned you. Paul begged the Lord to take his problem away, but the Lord chose to use it for His glory instead. The day is coming when Jesus’ victory over suffering will be manifested fully, but for the time being, you and I are ambassadors. We are here to show the world that, through Jesus, we are overcomers.

OVERCOMERS THROUGH JESUS

IF YOU ARE IN A DIFFICULT PLACE, GOD HAS NOT ABANDONED YOU

THINK ABOUT IT

We may suffer with difficult circumstances, but with Jesus, we have peace for today and hope for tomorrow—and with Him, we can make it through.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, You know every circumstance and detail of my life and bring me triumphantly through every challenge and over every hurdle. I am grateful for the strength You give me to be an overcomer so I might be a more effective ambassador for Jesus of Nazareth. In Jesus' name, Amen.
