When life presses on you...lean into God!

Lean into God & His Word when life presses on you-it's your confidence. When you're overwhelmed & feel you're out of resources with no plans-that's when you're pressed to know the power that's at work within you. If you stick with God, you'll find out He's faithful to come through. These seasons increase your faith, heightened your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit & enable you to know & walk in the truth that sets you free! 

Don't be naive-God will challenge your beliefs, flush out your insecurities & purge your pride. You're vulnerable & raw but also certain of God's love for you-knowing your value is in Who you belong to-not what you do. You trade your false confidence for His unwavering boldness & your need to prove for His approval. As you renew your mind with His truth you learn to walk by faith & not sight. Daily you push back & take another step into the unknown-there are times when weariness depletes every cell in your body & you consider quitting, but then God sends His undeniable encouragement that re-energizes your entire being & you know you can do it because His Spirit fuels you!

You come to know without a doubt where you stand with God, that His love sustains, comforts & protects you…every one of His promises are true & He supplies all your needs! Apart from Him you can do nothing-but with His strength, you can do all things! All your hope is in Him because of Who He is-not what He does. The greatest part of these seasons being over isn't so much that they're over, but it's what you know when they are…you're loved by your Father, He will never leave you & He has good plans for you! Will you trust God to do a work in you so you can know the power that's...at work within you?
