The LORD replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.” (NLT) -Psalm 12:5 God hears the cries of the helpless, poor, needy, and disenfranchised. He is the great rescuer! Let’s join in the work of the Lord and be those who rise up to help our neighbors in need. We need to ask God to give us eyes to see and ears to hear how we can step out of our comfort zones to show the love of Jesus to the very least of these.

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) -Deuteronomy 31:6 Strength with Jesus looks different than the strength the world celebrates.

The world cheers on human will power, success, and an “I can do it if I just try hard enough” mentality. Let’s be strong in the Lord, resting in the knowledge of His power, not our own.

Like many things in life, this requires a delicate balance of assertiveness and servitude.

Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. (NLT) -Colossians 4:6 The words we choose in our everyday conversations tell the most about who we are. If we choose a harsh tone and unkind words, it’s going to be hard for those around you to see God’s grace at work in your life. When we speak harshly it also makes it hard for those who love you to see you as a cherished child of God. Often resulting in others responding to us with negativity. This is why it’s so important for us to choose grace in the way we communicate. Be the one who ends the cycle of negativity in your relationships. Let your words be a beacon of light to those around you. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/

Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (NLT) -Romans 8:35 The answer to these questions is an emphatic NO! Nothing can separate Christ from us once we ask Him into our hearts. But also realize that troubles are NOT an indication that God is withholding His love for us. Calamity, persecution, hunger, destitution, danger, and death are all a result of living in a broken world. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/
