Wed.'s Devo - Be Glad!

Read Pro. 12:25
We need to hear a good word today. If you know anything about world events or events in our government it will depress you and might even cause you to fear. Our nation is in desperate need for the good news about Christ. We are in desperate need for the good news about Christ. Today's verse says the anxiety and heaviness makes our heart depressed but a good word makes it glad. The truth is God is still on his throne orchestrating the events of man. He still loves us and has a great plan for his people to rise up and take the land. What we need to be concentrating on is the victory - not the defeat. 2 Co. 4:7-9 says that "we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body." We are honored to have a part in God's huge plan of good, not evil and we can rejoice knowing that God, our Father, is in control and loves us till the end.
Lord, help us to give a good word of encouragement to those we meet. We could save a life!
