This is a word of encouragement from the archives of our Weekly Word of Encouragement. I trust it will inspire you through to personal victory, even now, for whatever task or circumstance you face.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee."
(Isaiah 26:3)
"If your mind is filled with defeat thoughts, fear thoughts, resentment thoughts, you are bound to be in a state of mental unrest, even turmoil, and of course there can be no inner peace. This passage advises you to practice thinking about God, to keep your mind "stayed" or fixed, not upon your troubles but upon God. Keep your mind on God for as many minutes during the day as possible. This may be difficult at first for you are unused to spiritual concentration. Practice will make it easier." (End quote)
(Norman Vincent Peale - Thought Conditioners)
"God is our Refuge and Strength (mighty and impenetrable to temptation), a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas. Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah (pause, and calmly think about that)! There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early (at the dawn of the morning). The Lord of host is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our Fortress and High Tower). Selah (pause, and calmly think of that)! Psalms 46:1-5, 7 (amplified)
God will not fail you.
Put your mouth in agreement with what God's Word says.
Be In Courage.
United with you in victory and strength,
Linda Michelle
