Lamentations 3:22-23 The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness, his mercies begin afresh each morning.
I read this phrase the other day - "Take new ground". I found that very challenging and also inspiring all at the same time! For several weeks I've been in a battle for my health and some days I know I've gained ground but then there are the days when it looks like I've lost ground and it can feel very discouraging. Ever been there in your situation? It might be a different type of issue for you.😊
But God wants to encourage us all because each day has fresh new mercies available to us. It has a new supply of overflowing grace which wont just 'see us through' but will cause us to thrive and not just survive if we'll keep believing. His mercies will cause us to gain ground.😊
When we realise, and remember in each moment that challenges us, that God is in control, that His love for us is far more than we can understand, that the hosts of heaven's armies are working for us, that He is as close to us as the breath we breath, then we can once again lift our heads up knowing He has said "All will be well", grab a hold of His hand and move forward.
If you've had some knock backs just recently, let me encourage you to hold fast to your confession of faith in Jesus and His promises, to remember the enemy was disarmed at the cross and he just uses deceit and lies to try to con us.
We are actually doing better than we think and with God within us we shall continue to gain ground. We shall do more than survive, we shall thrive as we allow His abundant life to flow into every part of our lives. Regardless of what the enemy says or how things look, God says He's made us Over-comers through Jesus, that we're on the winning side and all will be well.😊
This song popped in my head which says it really well...
