Apr.13th-Apr.19th Sunday-Saturday Daily Devotionals & Reflections
“Sit back and relax” is what we say at times but God says to keep going. We are to occupy while we are on the earth (Luke 19:13). Yes there are times to rest but we need to have a goal and pursuit to keep going and advancing the kingdom of God. So keep running the race and don’t give up. God has anointed you for this time He chose for you to be on the Earth! Be expectant and be alert (Ephesians 6:18)for the Holy Spirit will guide you always as you keep walking and know where to go next and do. Be hopeful in the Lord and trust (Proverbs 3:5-6) that He has your best interest at heart (Jeremiah 29:11) and doing life with him is so much better than doing it away from him (Colossians 3:23-24). God loves you (John 3:16-17) and cares for you (1 Peter 5:7)! Be strong and courageous (Deuteronomy 31:6)!
