Word of Hope For Today
by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Facing
Your Mountain (Part-1)
‘…Is your
life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy.’ James 1:2 TLB
Today’s Devotion
Lori Schneider is one of very few women to climb
Mt. Everest – yet another step on a climb she started ten years earlier when
she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Terrified, but determined to
achieve her goal, she quit her job and devoted herself to climbing. Nine years
later she’d conquered the highest peaks on six of the earth’s continents! ‘Lori
sees MS not as a negative, but a positive,’ her father said. ‘She accepted it
as a challenge’. Unfurling a banner in honor of the first World MS Day, she
called her dad on a satellite phone: ‘I’m here Dad, I’m on the summit, I made
it!’ A dream sixteen years in the making realized! Now her goal is to show
others who face challenges that even the highest mountain can be climbed one
step at a time.
In ‘Let It Go’, Mark
Atteberry writes: ‘The Christian life is about progress, not perfection. For
that reason, you should never measure the distance between you and perfection
(which is what all perfectionists insist on doing). That distance is completely
irrelevant. If you want to measure something, measure the distance between
where you are today and where you were yesterday. If you made a little progress
in the right direction, even if it was just an inch, celebrate it!’
Parallel verses: Exo
20:15, Josh 7:1-26, Mal 3:8-11,
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank
you for your powerful Word today. Lord thank you for giving me strength in
facing difficulty. Lord empowers me to stay focus on the things that you want
me to do. Lord in traversing the distance strengthens to endure the task that I
am doing. Lord you are there to help me when difficulty comes in my journey and
I believe Lord that I could finish and overcome the difficulty and obstacles on
my way to finish the mission that you set me in front of for your glory, In
Jesus Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God
please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible
Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible
Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents
and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others that they may receive Eternal
Life also.
