Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHopeAwe

We are not only blessed by God, but we also have His presence with us. We can never be somewhere where He is not (Psalm 139:1-24). His power and presence will hold us up and make us stronger. No matter what happens to our bodies or our world, God has given us the ultimate victory over every enemy and every bad thing in Jesus. Even those who don't believe in Jesus and those who hate Him will worship our Lord and kneel at His feet. They will see that our faith is not only right, but it is also victorious (1 Thessalonians 1:1-10).
