He will never fail YOU!

Every day presents a new day of challenges, bumps, unexpected circumstances and even blessings when we keep on living in this thing called life! Just over a week ago, I experienced a test that not only caused me to assess my own heart and attitude, but tested me to my core- causing me to dig out God's Word at another level to know and trust that He will never fail us. Not only was it a process of seeking Him, but going to His word for solace!  

In that moment, I read the gospel of John 16:33 where the Word reassures, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." What a great comfort!

Through scriptures like these, I learned, and we can learn that we are to not let our circumstances make or break us. Instead I can develop the habit of asking the Lord how He would have me to respond to these circumstances when they come to try us as the most difficult times. Did you know that 10% of our successes in life is what actually happens to us, but 90% of our successes in life is well we respond to those same circumstances?

All that to say is your life events does not have to define you or your outlook on your life. The Word of God should be your defining moment and factor used every day in how you function, operate, plan, and respond. No matter how long we have been in the Lord, this lesson is worth hearing, acting upon, and repeating in our hearts every day- that we don't lose sight of the victories that are promised to us in His Word!

In 1 Corinthians 10:13 it states, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” That means no matter how challenges of life come at you, it will never be more than what He has equipped you to handle!

It goes on to say in Deuteronomy 20:4, “For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."

I want to encourage you today to continue to trust in the Lord. We can always call on and depend on our faithful Lord and Savior who never changes, never reneges on His Word, never abandons, and never forgets US- who truly cares for us in every situation! \0/ 

So I encourage, you, "He will never fail YOU!” God bless you!
