The Movers & Shakers of LifeSample

YOUR DIAGNOSIS OR CIRCUMSTANCE DOES NOT DEFINE YOU

It is so important to take God’s word seriously. You either believe it, or you don’t. Put His word into your brain so your mind feeds your spirit, encouragement, and positive things to strengthen your walk.

As we review today’s scripture, we are told in Philippians 4:6 not to be anxious about ‘anything!’ People who do not have tremors do not understand how nervous the body is 24/7. It is like an internal clock wound as tight as it can get. Muscles tense: the more they tense, the more the body shakes. The disease makes it extremely difficult to relax. Your situation may be cancer, a child with an illness, a lost job, etc.; all these things cause anxiety. How do we get through these anxious times? The key is the last half of that verse. In every situation, pray with ‘thanksgiving’, and talk to God.

The one who desires that we fail in life is the one who stirs up situations to cause us to be anxious, cause us to fear, and cause us to lose our peace.

John 10:10 tells us that the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but God came to give us life and give it more abundantly!

I Peter 5:8-9 affirms that the devil is our enemy, and we are to resist him and stand firm in the faith for which we fight! Verse 9 says the family of ‘believers’ throughout the world is undergoing suffering of some kind, and it says the same kind as me. What that means is our faith is challenged daily in various ways.

Determine in your mind that whatever your situation, God has given us the power to withstand, endure, and persevere through all things, for ‘all’ things are possible with God!

Before tremors, my ministry was small. No, I can’t speak to audiences anymore, but God opened the door for these plans through YouVersion, and now these shaky hands reach thousands through writing!

TODAY’S EXERCISE:

I encourage you to rise above your circumstance and challenge yourself to be the best you ever! God has a plan for your life, and when we follow that plan, there is no situation we cannot overcome! Our focus is eternal!
