29-Aug Knock and Be Encouraged
Isaiah 50:10 – Who is among you who [reverently] fears the Lord, who obeys the voice of His Servant, yet who walks in darkness and deep trouble and has no shining splendor [in his heart]? Let him rely on, trust in, and be confident in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon and be supported by his God. (The Amplified Bible)

This one simple revelation can make all the difference in the world. When we try to save ourselves and please the Lord in our own strength, we “walk in darkness and deep trouble.” Only Jesus can light the way and give the victory. He is all that we need and more than enough! If you aren’t experiencing peace and freedom, go back to this verse and examine your heart. Where have you put your trust and confidence? If it’s anywhere but in the name of Jesus, you’ve found the problem and you’re on your way to victory. Be encouraged. It’s not up to you to solve all your problems and to handle all your challenges. It is up to Christ in you and as you lean on Him you will be supported!

Declare This

  • I am in Christ and He meets all my needs.
  • By faith I rely on, trust in and have confidence in the name of Jesus.
  • I thank God that I am covered and empowered by His Spirit working in and through me.
