AUGUST AUGUST 3 Today's Scripture “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.” 2 Corinthians 4:8 PRESSED, BUT NOT CRUSHED! Sometimes the only way you and I can learn some of the valuable life lessons GOD wants to teach us is to go through times of trouble and hardship. Sometimes the only way we can learn the value of good health is to experience some health problems. Sometimes the only we can learn the value of our marriage relationship is to through some trials and troubles. Sometimes the only way we can learn the value of seeking GOD'S WISDOM in our decisions is for GOD to allow us to suffer the consequences of our own foolish choices. You and I may not see it at the time, but sometimes our troubles are actually blessings in disguise. Sometimes GOD allows us to experience troubles in the present to PROTECT US from greater heartache and trouble later. Sometimes GOD uses troubles to direct us, sometimes to inspect us, sometimes to correct us, sometimes to protect us and sometimes God uses troubles to perfect us. No matter what we face, no matter how dif cult the storms of life, it will not last forever, we will be preserved not pickled. Because if God be for us who can stand against us? Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. WE ARE HARD PRESSED, BUT NOT CRUSHED! WE ARE PERPLEXED, BUT NOT IN DESPAIR! WE ARE PERSECUTED, BUT NOT FORSAKEN! WE ARE STRUCK DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED! Prayer For The Day Father God, Thank you for yo u r p r o t e c t i o n a n d provision. Thank you for strengthening me every day on the journey with y o u . N o m a t t e r h o w dif cult the storms of life, I know it will not last forever because you are always with me through it all, in Jesus mighty name. Amen! 6
THE DAILY ENCOURAGER AUGUST 4 Today's Scripture “....Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence” Jeremiah 17:7 KEEP HOPE ALIVE! We have to learn to keep hope alive when the enemy comes against us. We can t live life without hope. For as long as God is alive we have a reason to keep hope alive. Keep hope alive when things look dark and dreary. Keep hope alive when your weakness is greater than your strength. Keep hope alive when your enemies are more numerous than your friends. Keep hope alive when your sorrow is more potent than your joy. Keep hope alive when your blessings are delayed. Keep hope alive when your setback is not turning into a comeback soon enough. Sometimes God uses waiting to test the genuineness of our hope. Is our hope really in Him, or are we just trying to use Him to get what we want? Real hope waits; it perseveres. It doesn t give up. It remains faithful; it continues to believe and obey, and it looks to God alone for what it seeks, no matter how long it takes. Don t give up. Don t stop hoping. Don t stop praying. God loves you more than you can imagine. Prayer For The Day Father God, thank You for blessing me as I put my trust in You. Today, I set my heart and mind on You. I praise You for Your g o o d n e s s a n d faithfulness. I receive Your blessing upon every area of my life in Jesus' name. Amen! 7
