July.20th- July.26th Sunday-Saturday Daily Devotionals & Reflections
Desperation is not the place the Lord wants you to be in. He needs you making clear decisive decisions in a peace filled place that comes from Him. Jesus is our true source of peace in this life. Desperation makes you feel anxious, fearful and worried. These ingredients are emotional triggers for quick, not thought through, scared decisions. Instead, we need to come into his presence and speak to God about all the cares we have and learn to give them over to him. We in turn can focus on the true mission he has for us to do. While we occupy with doing what God instructs, God works on the things of importance to us. We are to invite the Lord into every facet of our lives so we are not overtaken by desperation that the enemy may want to bring your way. Focus on what God instructed & press on!
