Stay Determined!



You may be praying for things that haven’t happened yet, but just because things aren’t happening on your timetable doesn’t mean they aren’t going to happen. God is a faithful God. Don’t give up on that promise. Don’t let negative people or thoughts talk you out of it. Get your fire back!

This is what the apostle Paul did in Acts 18-24. His circumstances  looked impossible. He was always facing persecution. People tried to talk him out of what he knew God called him to do. He was bombarded by negative, discouraging thoughts. Yet he stayed determined to do what God ordained him to do.

He wasn’t moved by those discouraging things. He was only moved by God and he was encouraged by God’s promises. I’m sure he quoted scriptures to himself like, “If God be for you, then who dare be against you?!” He kept his faith, that no matter what people said, God has the final say!

Today I want to encourage you to keep trusting your circumstances to your heavenly Father. Choose to stand strong and rest in the peace and hope that comes from believing His promises. As you stay determined to meditate only on these things you will be able to see His blessings in a greater way.
