| “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” |

| TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
|
Everyone goes through seasons of
disappointment or difficulty. We all have unexpected setbacks. Maybe
you’re going through something right now that you don’t understand.
Here’s the good news: that disappointment is not the final chapter. God
never ends in a negative. If you will keep moving forward with your
life, God promises that He will bring you to a flourishing finish. Not a
defeated finish, a bankrupt finish, a betrayed finish, or a
barely-get-by finish. No, in your future, God has a victorious finish.
That setback, disappointment or betrayal that seems like
it’s working against you, God knows how to turn it around and
cause it to work for you. The key is that when you’re in difficult
times, don’t settle where you are. Don’t put your roots down and think
that things are never going to change. No, for every setback, God has
already lined up a comeback. For every injustice, He has vindication.
For every disappointment, He has restoration. Right now, just begin to
thank Him for what He’s going to do. Praise Him for His faithfulness.
Rejoice today because He has a plan to bring you into a flourishing
finish!

| Father, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I choose to cast my cares on You. I choose to trust even when I don’t understand. I choose to believe that You have a good plan and will bring me to a flourishing finish in Jesus’ name! Amen. |

But let the righteous be joyful
Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro...
I will not fear, what can man do to me?
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! For his mercy endures forever. Let Israel now say, His mercy endures for ever, Let the House of Aaron now say, His mercy endures forever Let those who fear the Lord now say His mercy endures forever I called to the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place The Lord is on my side, I will not fear, what can man do to me? The Lord is for me among those who help me Therefore, I shall see my desire on those who hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them They surrounded me, yes they surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them. The surrounded me like bees, but they were quenched like a fire of thorns For in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them Psalm 118: 1-12 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tent of the righteou...
