Some years ago, our ministry was facing a financial crisis, and it was weighing heavy on my mind. No matter how much I prayed I couldn’t find any peace. Finally, I decided to strengthen myself in the Lord by recalling God’s faithfulness and provision through all our years in ministry. By the time I finished I had filled several pages and faith had replaced fear. Remembering God’s faithfulness gave me confidence to face the future unafraid. If you are in a spiritual battle don’t grow discouraged. Instead, recall how often the Lord has delivered you in the past. That’s what David did:
“David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.”
— 1 Samuel 30:6 (NKJV)
Lord, help us to strengthen ourselves in the Lord by focusing on Your faithful provision. Amen.
