Jesus sees the big picture of your life in the light of eternity!

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV

Life is hard. It always has been. God is good. He always will be!

The cost of living rises steadily. We are at war against a determined enemy that strikes without warning. Crime and violence plague our cities. Millions are enslaved by drug addiction. Sixty-one thousand Americans die from overdose to opioids every day.

Jesus loves us! He promises to meet all our needs. The Lord promised to give us rest and protection.

God reminds us in His Word, “Fear not for I am with you.”

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers. He was thrown into prison even though he did not commit a crime. Joseph continued to trust God. The Lord elevated him to a position of great power and wealth.

Joseph became the right hand of the most powerful man in the world. God used Joseph to provide food for the children of Israel during a time of great famine in the entire world.

God promised to make Abraham a great nation. The Lord kept His promise. The children of Israel became a great nation of people.

Did God cause the famine? He allowed it to occur. He also provided for His people during the great famine. God never leaves us to ourselves!

If you have a personal relationship with the Lord of Heaven and Earth trust Him now more than ever. God is working things out for His Glory and your good!

If you do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior turn to Him today! You do not know what tomorrow may bring!

If you have questions or need help turn to your Christian friends, family or neighbors! You may also send an e-mail to joyfor2day@gmail.com.

Trust Jesus today. His thoughts toward you are of peace and blessing!

Do not lose hope. Almighty God holds your future in the palms of His loving hands!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus sees the big picture of your life in the light of eternity!
