Your Daily Crossroad

Praise Him for His Word

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (Isaiah 40:8)
 
God, the earth is fragile—but You are not. You remain faithful and steadfast forever. Your Words are timeless and Your promises are trustworthy and true. Thank You for allowing me to draw close to You each day by meditating on Your Word. What a blessing it is to know You, and be known by You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
 
Amen and Amen! What a powerful truth.
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!


Help Me Persevere

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Romans 5:3-5)
 
Jesus, You chose to suffer on the cross for the sake of the world. And because of Your suffering, I can spend eternity with You. Thank You for showing me what it looks like to suffer well. Thank You for becoming my source of hope. When I encounter trials of any kind, please use those moments to refine my character and to keep my heart focused on You. Amen.
 
One word came to mind when I read this, hallelujah! 🙂
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!


Show Me How to Live

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
 
God, I want my life to be a bright example of Your love. So please give me the courage to approach every person I meet with compassion and empathy. Show me how to live generously, and how to serve others without expectations. Let my actions be marked with humility so that people glorify Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
 
I pray this is our hearts desire, every single day. “I want my life to be a bright example of Your Love”.
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!


I Am here to help

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (Isaiah 41:13)

Hear the Lord saying to you today, “Don’t be afraid, my beloved, I am here to help.”
 
Is there something in your life that has caused you to be afraid?
 
Is there something worrying you?
 
Do you feel alone and as if there is no one to understand or help you?
 
Regardless of whether we are able to sense Him by our side or not, it does not change the truth that He will never leave us and never abandon us.
 
In this life on earth, it is easy to be distracted by all the noise. It can be easy to feel as though you are alone in your journey.
 
While God never promises us a life without problems or challenges, He does promise us that He will never leave us during those tough times.
 
He promises to hold onto us and stay by our side even amidst fearful situations. He promises to strengthen us, protect us, and uphold us with His righteous right hand!
 
While the number varies depending on the translation, the phrase “fear not” is found over 300 times in the Bible! This is a constant reminder that we need not submit to fear and that we can trust in our savior.
 
Whenever you begin to feel fear and doubt creeping in, remember that you have authority over the power of the enemy! Tell Satan to get lost and remind yourself that the Lord is with you in that very moment, holding your entire world in His hands.
 
If you’ve struggled with being afraid lately, know that the Lord is speaking to you today in loving reassurance. He wants you to know He has not forgotten about you, He has not let go, and He certainly has never left you alone.
 
As you go through your day, be at peace knowing your Heavenly Father holds you by your right hand. As His beloved children, we are never too old or too independent to seek comfort from our Heavenly Father!
 
I read this devotion on a day I needed it most, I woke up feeling such a heaviness in my spirit, but God. The moment I read this devotion and allowed Isaiah 41:13 to sink deep into my spirit I felt the heaviness lift. Was it a day full of perfection, no, I had to choose to find the beauty in the day and I did just that. I know no matter what I face, He is holding my right hand, saying, “Don’t be afraid, my beloved, I am here to help.” I encourage you today to take Isaiah 41:13 with you throughout your day and remind the enemy just who is holding your hand and speaking into your situation and your entire day.
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
