Take Heart!
"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
Psalm 27:13 (NKJV)
No matter how much responsibility is bearing down on you, no matter how many people are texting and calling you to ask or demand something from you, no matter how many requests for your time and energy you receive, no matter how many times your bank account has to be tapped to rescue somebody else while your own bills still need to be paid, know this: whatever you’ve spent in terms of money, time, effort, and emotion is nothing compared to the riches that He wants to pour out on your life today.
After being dragged through the courts, beaten up in the middle of the city square, nailed to a crossbeam, forced to carry it up skull-shaped hill, and dropped between life and death until the sun refused to shine, it looked like Jesus was completely emptied in every way. But God was not through, and He was about fill up His Son again to accomplish more than anyone could ever have imagined.
I don't care how close to empty you think you feel right now. Know that God is not through yet. I don't care how much the pain is squeezing or how loudly the doubt is speaking. I don't care how busy Satan has been creating havoc in your life. No matter what stands against you today, I want to encourage you to remember that God is not through with you.
Whatever assignment He has for you tomorrow, He’s got sufficient grace and anointing for you today. You have what it takes. God is going to keep on blessing, anointing, and providing you with whatever you need, no matter the task.
You may be in a tiring and fatiguing season. You may be wondering, “Lord, when will the storm pass and how much more do I have to endure?”
Let me tell you this: every time I show up empty, God shows up to refill me. And He will do the same thing in your life. Whatever the necessary assignment, He’s going to make sure that you are adequately prepared to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask, think, or imagine.
Don't you get weary in well-doing, for in due season, you will reap. Don’t faint; take heart!
