You Win! Press On!

Daily Blessing

Sometimes things “feel true” that aren’t actually true. When you’ve struggled long in a particular area of life, it’s tempting to believe that you’re just circling the same mountain. But as you follow Jesus, He’ll faithfully lead you up the mountain. When old hurts surface and you wonder if you’ll ever heal, just remember this: you’re still standing, and you’re not the person you once were. God is in the process of redeeming your story. When it feels like you’ve been held back, consider that maybe God has pulled you back like an arrow so He can release you into your next place of promise. The story we tell ourselves matters. How we frame our hardships is of utmost importance in how we fare in battle. You are a part of the conquering army of the Most-High God. The devil will not have the last say. In fact, his ultimate defeat is certain, and it’s only a matter of time. May you have the courage to press on, dear one. In Jesus’ Name, press on.

James 1:12 (NLT) ~ God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
