December 4 – Revelation 2:7-“To him that overcometh”

Remember to read My Utmost for His Highest for Today.

STRUGGLES

Life is filled with stressful battles

In daily struggles, we’re not alone

God is our strong Chief Commander

And He’s determined to bring us home.

Life can be filled with many questions.

The “how-come? The what-for” and such

While obeying His Holy instructions

God’s Word offers His Divine touch.

Life should be healthy and balanced.

Physical growth and mental stability are good

Responsibilities are part of the package

With the Ten Commandments fully understood.

Spiritual teaching should offer wisdom.

The realities of sin must be faced

But oh the joy of His Presence

When seeking balance an Overcomer meets Grace.

His Grace is sufficient to sustain you.

His Presence will calm every stress.

Overcomers when releasing their struggles

Find that in His Presence His Peace offers rest.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Name a struggle in life that might be overwhelming. Journal the steps of becoming an Overcomer in that situation. If Life is but a vapor, why do stresses overwhelm folk? What solutions would you offer to folk who are completely overwhelmed by their personal problems? Sometimes a change or a rest give a situation a different prospective. Do you agree with that statement?  Name some Overcomers from the Bible.

DEAR LORD, Thank You for Your Word, which offers good examples of folk who have become OVERCOMERS.

Help me to find tools from Your Word to help me in the stresses of life. Help me to have balance in my life.

Help me find times to laugh and enjoy relationships. Lord, people are more important to you than problems.

Help me to keep this focus and rest in You every day. In Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
