Thought of the day: Where does your strength come from?

Hi friends,
Where does your strength come from? Perhaps you find it in the job you hold, your friends or relationships. I would encourage you to draw your strength from God and His word. Recently I was reading Philippians chapter 4. Paul wrote about the secret to being content. He was referring to trusting God to bring provision for his needs in PRISON. The true promise of Philippians 4:13 is that God will give you strength to do what He has called you to! I can't do all things, but God has given me all I need to fulfill his purpose for my life!
Friends, imagine a plant firmly rooted in the ground... It draws nutrition and strength from those roots! Whatever you are facing today, let your heart be rooted in Christ's strength and love! The challenges you face don't outweigh God's provision for you in the midst of them! Today's thoughts are taken from: Philippians 4, Ephesians 3:17. God loves you, I love you & YOU are Formed For his use

Thought of the day: fight for your freedom

Hi friends,
It's so easy to get entangled in the things of this world. Sometimes our circumstances can make us feel like we are weighed down chains of guilt or self-pity. We wrestle feelings of doubt insecurity and worthlessness . I've got news for you God didn't intend for us to live that way! He came to give us freedom, hope and peace. Because of what Christ has done we can live in FREEDOM ! Freedom from our past failures, feelings of guilt and hopelessness that creep into our lives. Don't loose heart friends, you may have to fight for it, but eternal freedom is worth the fight. I would encourage you with this:where the spirit of The Lord is, there is freedom! You have his freedom inside of you... Carry it into the darkness and you'll see chains fall. Not by your strength or might, but by HIS spirit! Today's thoughts are taken from: Hebrews12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 3:17,Zechariah 4:6. God loves you, I love you & you are Formed For His Use.
