Shalom,

If you ever feel weary or are tempted to think "I can't take it anymore", I would encourage you to read Psalm 136 out loud! It is a wonderful declaration of faith and confidence in the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible and a psalm of praise TO Him! Taking control of your thought life in this way will cause you to view your entire situation in a whole new, and very powerful and positive light! After that, I would encourage you to take to heart THIS from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland's "From Faith To Faith" devotional for today:


And now abides faith, hope, charity (love), these three; but the greatest of these is charity (love). 1 Corinthians 13:13



What do you do when you're facing a particularly stubborn problem? A problem that resists your every effort to solve it? Put the power of love to work on it! The power of love is the greatest power in the universe. It's beyond defeat. It never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8). The Bible says God is love. So when you release love into a situation, you have released God into it. Think about that! When you start releasing love into a situation, Jesus becomes responsible for its success. What is this love I'm talking about?

First Corinthians 13 tells us it's patient and kind. It's not jealous or haughty or conceited or rude. It doesn't insist on its own way. It's not touchy or resentful and it pays no attention to a suffered wrong. Love rejoices when right and truth prevail and it bears up under anything and everything that comes. It's ever ready to believe the best of every person. Its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything without weakening.
The person who refuses to love is missing out on the very best God has to offer. Don't you miss out on any of it. Release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought until it totally consumes your life. It will strengthen you and cast out every fear that has robbed you of God's greater blessings. It will drive the devil out of your affairs and set you free from every torment of darkness. Put love to work on the stubborn problems in your life. It's the one solution they'll never be able to resist.
Love NEVER fails! Making this choice to walk in love puts us in position for the Divine intervention of the Most High God! Galatians 5:6 tells us that our faith works by love. Just as a car "runs" on gasoline, our faith "runs" ONLY on love! Without choosing to walk in love towards everyone, our faith will be inactive and ineffective. So, after you have built yourself up reading Psalml 136, then take a gauge of your own love walk. See what you've been doing right and keep it up! See where you may be lacking and make the necessary adjustments. Once you do that, you cannot fail! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "Faithfulness":



Shalom in Him!
