Daily Bible Reading - Wednesday - June 2nd
Seems like there is always something difficult we have to face, sometimes its something different every day. Like David, he had many difficult times to face, when he was on the way back to his palace to be king again it was a joyous time but he still had to face a difficult time for Sheba was going against him and getting troops together to go against David, yet still in the middle of the trouble it was a joyous time for David and he still was able to celebrate. All that time God was still with him, even through the difficult times God was there watching out for him and helping him. Just like us today, no matter what we face, no matter what we are going through or even how long we have been going through it, God is still with us, He’s still on the throne wanting to help guide us and lead us through the wilderness into victory. Like the devotional says, we need to choose an attitude of faith and victory and keep declaring God’s promises in our lives and we’ll get through whatever we are facing and come out more victorious then ever.

"...If God be for us, who can be against us?"
So often when difficulties come, people tend to feel overwhelmed, unequipped, or outnumbered. They shrink back or look for an easy way out or a place to hide. But that’s not God´s best for us. He never intended for us to be consumed by our challenges; He intends for us to overcome our challenges!
If you´re facing a difficulty today, it´s time to dig your heels in, stand strong, and show the enemy what you´re made of! Remember, you aren´t alone in the fight; God is with you. He´s promised to never leave you nor forsake you. Just like the scripture says, if God is for you who can be against you? Friend, you and God are a majority. There´s no weapon, no enemy, no challenge, no disease, no failure, there´s nothing that can overtake you when God is on your side!
I encourage you today; choose an attitude of faith and victory. Keep declaring His promises over your life. Be bold and stand strong because God promises that He has victory in store for the upright. As you keep that attitude of faith, you´ll rise above those difficulties and walk in the freedom He´s prepared for you!
Today's thought: Thank You for Your faithfulness to me. Thank You for equipping me and filling me with Your joy, strength, and boldness. I choose to trust You, to stand on Your Word and look for the victory You have in store for me.
