Scripture
"We are pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."
II Corinthians 4: 8 & 9
Devotion
For those of you at Tujunga Open Bible yesterday you got to experience the blessing of hearing evangelist Rick Pasquale preach. Wow! The Lord moved in that place -- it was like a revival service. People were lined up for prayer and you could feel the Holy Spirit's presence in our midst!
It made me reflect on God's faithfulness. Just Friday night, Daryl and I had dinner with another couple in our church and I shared that I had been yearning in my spirit to hear a guest speaker whom God would use to allow His Spirit to flow.
By Sunday morning that prayer was answered. Rick shared the above Scripture and my thoughts were drawn to the many families who are suffering right now. God knew we would struggle, but we have the victory!
Remember if you struggle this day - You are not crushed! Your Lord has a way out for you and will use this trial to grow and bless you.
Prayer
God, sustain me as I walk through trials. Please bring the blessings and the assured victory!
Amen.
