Word of the Day: Don't Give Up, You're More Than a Winner
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39
Do you realize that God will never abandon you? Your situation may be dire but don't give up. God is in control of everything, and has already taken action to provide you with success!
When God promised to take the people of Israel out of Egypt, things became a lot tougher at first. For those who were enslaved, their work increased, and the harshness of the taskmasters more and more. Hope diminished each time Pharaoh said no. But God is faithful, he liberated His people.
11 and brought Israel out from among them
His love endures forever.
12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.13 to him who divided the Red Sea asunder
His love endures forever.
14 and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.
15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;
His love endures forever.16 to him who led his people through the wilderness;
His love endures forever.Psalm 136:11-16
Through the cross and the death of Jesus, God has also liberated us. Life now may be difficult, we face daily struggles, but what about the 'big picture'? - death itself has been conquered so that we can spend eternity with God. We have been given the assurance that nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God. God loves you, and His love endures forever!
With God's love, we are champions!

Word of the Day: Do we trust God?
It's natural to wonder why, even when we trust in God, anxiety can still enter into our thoughts. Trusting in God offers us peace and tranquility, and yet we often find ourselves holding back, not fully trusting in God. In the Bible, we read words of faith and comfort provided to soothe our hearts. Despite life's storms, there's peace available that surpasses all understanding and that can anchor us safely.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
In this verse, God reassures us that we can safely leave worries behind, and bring everything to Him through prayer. He shows us that we are not alone in our struggles and challenges. When we surrender our lives to God in prayer, He gives us a peace that surpasses everything.
Anxiety is not a sin, however, how we respond to anxiety can lead to sinful behavior if we are not careful. Anxiety can overwhelm us, and ruin us, so we need to address the root causes of anxiety, cultivate trust in God, and seek His peace in every situation. The first step is to approach God in prayer. When we talk to God, and share our fears, hopes, and needs He listens to us and calms us with His loving presence.
Thank Him, even in difficulties, for it helps us see His blessings even in tough situations.
The peace that God gives us does not depend on our circumstances. It is a peace that fills our hearts and minds, guarding us from fear. This peace goes beyond what the physical world can offer us, it appears contrary to what the world values, but it is a priceless gift that strengthens us and helps us face life's uncertainties.
So, when we feel anxious, we should remember this verse and trust in God, talk to Him in prayer, and let His peace fill our hearts. He is always ready to listen to us and take care of us.

Word of the Day: God Is Thinking of You
Right now, God has you in His thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about that? God has a plan for your life, He is thinking about you in everything He does.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand -
when I awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139:17-18
Every single thing that happens, whether good or bad, God knows! Yes, it shows an incomprehensible depth and abundance of God's thoughts toward us and an intimate understanding of us. Such a vast sum of thoughts, that the psalmist likens them to countless grains of sand. God's love and concern for His people have no limits. His God's thoughts toward us are constant, unwavering, and immeasurable, extending beyond our comprehension.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7
Jesus also highlights God's intimate knowledge and care for His creation, when he mentions the sparrows in Luke 12. He emphasizes that not one sparrow is forgotten by God and that even the very hairs of our heads are known about. The knowledge and understanding of us is so meticulous and detailed that it could only belong to the one who created us. Not only this, but it reinforces the idea that God has a care for us that is deep, personal, and comprehensive.
