“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also” Matthew 6:33, Amplified.
The husband leaves you and the kids, and the Lord says stay right there. You lose your job without severance pay, and the Lord says stay right there. Your child gets arrested, and the Lord says stay right there. Your ride-or-die friend leaves you, and the Lord says stay right there. The thing is, you’re not there alone. The Lord, who is the anchor of your soul, is with you. Will you stay right there or allow what you’re experiencing to move you? Will you remain seated in the Lord, or will you get out of your place and get out of faith, choosing your way? The choice is yours. You can’t pick and choose your storms, but you can choose how you will respond to them.
A victim mentality blames the storm for moving them out of their seat and making them move from their stance and trust in God. The victim points the blame on the enemy for being too strong; that’s why I got out of faith, but the Lord doesn’t want us pointing the blame at the enemy, and He doesn’t want us to blame the size of the storm as the reason for our cowardice. He wants us to take responsibility for ourselves and stand tall like David before Goliath, fully confident the Lord was with him. He wants us to stand courageously like Moses in front of the Red Sea with Pharoah and his armies behind, trusting in the God who said He was with him…”
Prayer: Father, I choose your will and your way of doing things. I submit myself to you and make a quality decision right now to stay in faith, come what may. I love you, Father, and I receive your help and your love for me. I pray you are continually glorified in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I’ve known the presence of God more now than ever since my husband died 18 months ago and realised that Jesus is the only friend I have 🙏
I will stay in my place of faith. I choose to trust you
Amen Amen & Amen 🙏🏽☝🏽🙌🏽👏🏽💜🤍🕊️✨
Amen & Thank You, Lord, for loving & blessing this sinner. I am Yours always. Please forgive me for my sins & grant us all Your peace ❤️🙏🕊😊
Hmm not sure about this, for those in actual victim situation “stay right there” can be harmful or even life ending. Sometimes God stripes away and ask us not to stay but to move from toxic situations not because we lack faith but because he is loving and gracious in nature.
This devotional reminds me that what the enemy meant for bad, the Lord will turn it around for our good. Thank you. This is timely. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽♥️📖🙌🏽
Thank you for encouraging hearts. You be encouraged as well. His Love and Peace❤️
A very necessary truth! Escapism can be very harmful during times when God wants us to lean on Him for a way out instead of continuing to make excuses & do things our own way
Amen! Good evening Father God, my Jehovah-jireh! You provide my evey need, even when I don’t know what I need. Thank You Father for Your coverage over me and the the life You gave me! I love You, for me and my life! In Jesus Christ name I pray, Amen! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
