What You're Facing This Coming Year

Devotions taken from the messages of Adrian Rogers.

BIBLE MEDITATION: 
“But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.” Psalm 94:22

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
•    When you get ready to really live for God, you are going to face three enemies. You’re going to face those who are in despair—they’re going to be howling calamity. 

•    You’re going to face those with disdain—they’re going to laugh at you. 

•    And you’re going to face those with discouragement—they’re going to say that it can’t be done.

And you better learn to silence their voices.  How do you do that?

Get alone in the secret counsel halls of the Almighty and get your eyes on God. If you listen to what those people say, you’re not going to be victorious in what God is calling you to do.

I believe David conquered Goliath because he got alone with God. I believe Joseph survived abandonment and imprisonment because he got alone with God.

ACTION POINT:
Who are your enemies today, and what are you doing to silence them? Get alone with God and listen.

Daily Smile:

"Just to establish some parameters," said the professor, "Mr. Nichols, what is the opposite of joy?"

"Sadness," said the student.

"And the opposite of depression, Ms. Biggs?"

"Elation."

"And you, sir, how about the opposite of woe?"

"I believe that would be giddy up..."
