Today's Word
Today, the God of the Impossible is with you!
Is it impossible? Leave it with God. Remember that for God there is nothing too difficult.
For nothing is impossible for God.
- Luke 1:37
God can transform any difficult situation into victory. Any sadness into joy. For those who have faith in the God who created the universe, nothing is impossible.
Are you worried about something today? Have you received unsettling news? Go before God in prayer, bring your burdens to Him, and trust in God’s incomparable power. Where others see no solution, God can work and perform great wonders. Do not doubt God’s power! Faith and trust in God will renew your strength and help you as you wait to see the manifestation of God’s power.
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
- Matthew 17:20b
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
- Jeremiah 17:7–8
Talk to God and tell Him all your concerns. He can do what you cannot! Is there a better way to start the day?
Yesterday's Word
Jesus lifts us up
The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
- Mark 9:26–27
In Mark 9:14–29, we read about a boy possessed by demons who was set free by the power of Jesus. Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, cast it out, and the young boy was completely delivered.
What Jesus did for us is similar to what He did for that boy. Before we knew Christ, we were dead separated from God and enslaved by sin. But Christ reached out His hand toward us and saved us. He delivered us from death and gave us true life.
Today we can stand before God the Father and give thanks for all Jesus has done for us! Let us never underestimate the work the Lord has done in our lives. May we not grow used to living each day with the Lord without being in awe of His redemptive work in us or sharing His love with others.
Has Jesus raised you up, transformed you, saved you? Take a moment now to thank Him and renew your love for Him. Remember what Christ has done for you, tell others about His love and power, and live each day for Him.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- Galatians 2:20

Day Before Yesterday's Word
Take heart and be courageous: God will act
Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord.
- Psalm 31:24
Although we would like God to answer our prayers immediately and work without delay to give us what we long for, that is not always the case. Sometimes, we have to wait and that isn’t easy. There’s a saying that “waiting brings despair,” but the children of God must never lose hope.
The verse above is found in Psalm 31. It encourages us to remain firm and strong in the Lord, even when we must wait for Him to answer our prayers or intervene in a situation.
Psalm 31 is a precious psalm of trust that begins with a cry:
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
- Psalm 31:1–2
David, the psalmist, waited for God's intervention but he did so with confidence. He cried out to God knowing he could stand firm in the Lord, his strong rock. We don’t know exactly what David was facing at that moment. He went through many hardships in life, yet his trust in God never wavered.
Are you going through a difficult moment right now? Take courage and be strong! Come to God with confidence, because the Lord Almighty is with you and He will act. Stand today with a strengthened heart and a faith-filled spirit. Renew yourself with the assurance that God, your strong rock, will work on your behalf.
