When life is hard and you are struggling, where do you turn?
Are your eyes focused on your problems or on the one who has the answers you need?
Is God's love alive in You?
In this encouraging 30 day devotional, Loving Jesus: A 30 Day Devotional, you will be uplifted, inspired, and challenged in your walk with God. You will find devotions on anger and joy, devotions about fear and devotions about the peace of God and more.
Just a few minutes a day will help you take your eyes off your problems and put your eyes back on God and His promises. You can rejoice in Jesus always no matter what you are going through because He is worthy. Rejoice that salvation belongs to our God and He has all the answers you need.
We all go through hard times in this life. But, it is in those struggles that we find out where our faith really lies and how faithful our God really is. God's grace in your suffering is sufficient. Let Him be your strength.
When we get to the end of ourselves, we discover who Jesus really is. By remembering to put Him first, everything else starts to fall into place.
The devotions and poetry in this book come from my own walk of faith with the Lord. It is real and personal and I hope that my journey will inspire you no matter what is going in your life.
Day 5 Devotion on Faith is one of my favorites because it is very personal. It talks about some real things that I was going through at the time and yet God was faithful and was there for me and my husband. He strengthened me when I was weak and comforted me when I needed it. He was the faithful Savior and provider through everything. As the scripture says, "if God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31
Day 5 Faith – Romans 8:31
“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If
God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
Statement of Faith
Lost my child.
Lost my home.
Lost nearly all I own.
But I still have my precious husband.
I still have my health.
I still have my God and His promises.
I will yet praise Him.
He is my Savior,
My protector, my Lord.
I might lose everything,
But I won't lose my faith.
For that IS everything-
Everything that is important.
Thank you, Lord.
Day 5 Devotion
It’s really easy when life is hard to focus on the problems- paying the credit card bills, the rent, losing a loved one, health problems, etc. It’s easy to let fear and frustration and hopelessness take over, but I encourage you to hold on.
Take your eyes off of the problem and put them on God instead. Look at your problems through the filter of God’s love and promises. He is the solution to your every need or heartache. He is your protector. He is your healer. With God on your side, there is nothing that can come your way that will harm you. Instead, you will laugh in the midst of chaos or health problems or financial problems or anything else that happens because you know who your God is. Like it says above in Romans 8:31, NIV “…if God is for us, who can be against us?”
Day 5 Prayer
Father, we thank you that you are for us and not against us. Thank you for your protection and your promises. Thank you that you are on our side. Help us to remember to look at our problems through the eyes of your love and promises. If we do that, we can get through anything. In Jesus name. Amen.
