Getting into Romans 5 this morning I was quite encouraged. I woke up early enough (for once!) on a work day, to get my reading in, as well as, eat breakfast and drink my coffee before work. Praise God for that because I am definitely the type who waits a good fifteen minutes before I truly need to get up to get up. Laziness is Sin and I've been really getting smacked in the face by my own sinful pleasure of being lazy and staying in my comfortable bed those extra five minutes I truly do not need to be in there. Praying works though :).
Romans 5: 1-11 is quite a scripture snack/goodie for such an early devotion. *yes 8am is early for me, no judgment please*. I was encouraged so much to just ask you to read Romans 5:3-4. Our Lord does allow suffering YES! He allows all good things to be used to HIS good purpose though. And this verse truly solidifies why. From personal experience and just from reading this verse and seeing the power that jumps from the pages was extremely tasty and satisfying. Being spiritually fed by the LIVING WORD is something that we have to seek ladies because that is all we have on those days where we can only cling to the hope of the resurrection that is Christ.
Yesterday I went witnessing and y'all this is a battle of principalities that we cannot see. Immediately the warfare was on but I pressed onward knowing that just taking a step out with the intention of praying and speaking to those diving appointments the Lord has already set up for us was such a privilege. It is a privilege for us to speak GODS name aloud to another person and to have the deeds we do to HIS kingdom of everlasting. I pray for myself and for you today that we would be women, and men, of true hope in the glory of Christ seeking to be witnesses in all the ways that we are called to be.
A man of God wants a woman of God who can stand on her own two feet spiritually. Single ladies, find your identity in Him! How does one do such a thing you ask??? Well, pray for just that and trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make you to stand firm on the solid rock that HE is.
Rejoice! again I say today REJOICE! :) For the Kingdom is near and our Lord is risen :)!!!!
Praying for you whoever you are ♥cheche
