When You Charge, They Charge! - #3157
As God starts to open doors and give opportunities, pray for the protection available in Jesus' Name - for you, for those you love. Pray against discouragement. Remember that serving the Lord is much like football. As soon as you start gaining ground spiritually, the other side starts to come after you. When you charge, they charge. That's something to be aware of, not afraid of.

When You've Been Burned - #3738
Hard steps, important steps, steps to healing. Jesus heals burn victims - and replaces their mourning with gladness, their ashes with beauty, their despair with praise. Let Him work that healing miracle in you.

A Cinch by the Inch - #2788
If you're looking at the whole trip and feeling overwhelmed, intimidated, paralyzed and afraid, don't look at the whole trip. The trip is God's problem. The big map is His concern.

Takes a Lickin', Keeps On Tickin' - #2786
If you can hang onto Jesus, if you could be like Jesus in this pain, you'll prove your faith is genuine first to yourself. You will have the deepest confidence in Jesus you've ever had because you've experienced what He can do when no one else can help. You'll also prove your faith is genuine to the people who are watching you, whose own relationship with Jesus may depend on how you weather this beating.

Going Where You Thought You Couldn't - #2816
Maybe there's a burden you're going to have to carry or a challenge or assignment that you have in front of you or some possibilities that are either frightening or exciting, or possibly both. Well, your Lord, who may very well be the One leading you into something you're not sure you can handle, wanted you to be encouraged today with this word from the Word of God. Psalms 18:31 - "For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?"

The Better Beyond The Bitter - #2813
This night, even this long night, will not last forever. And on the other side a time of joy that is hard for you to imagine right now but which God guarantees. In fact, the beautiful time may actually be produced by the bitter time, as the joy of a new baby is produced by a painful delivery process. But you do have to get through this bitter taste, without abandoning your Lord or His plans.

No Diagnosis, No Relief - #2808
We had no hope of our sin-cancer being cured, but God, the One we have sinned against, sacrificed His one and only Son to pay the death penalty for our sin. The cure involves blood - the blood Jesus poured out when He died to remove the guilt and hell of your sin.

When the Container Lies to You - #5918
Don't fall for those lies on sin's package. Check its real contents, as exposed graphically in the Bible. If you've already opened sin's package, get out while you can. If you're looking at a compromise that God calls sin, run the other way. You haven't got time for the pain, for the scars, for the slavery, for the shame. Do it God's way, even if it's harder, even if it takes longer. Remember, it's the narrow road that leads to life. It's the wide road that leads to destruction

Hard-Earned Credentials - #2636
The pain you've been through may never make much sense until you see Jesus and He shows you the grand design. But until then, offer that pain to Him as credentials, to make a difference for Him to other wounded people. Remember, your wounds are your credentials.

Quake Insurance - #2631
There is a love that is unloseable, unmoveable, unconditional - a relationship that will sustain you when everything else is out of control.
