May be he is calling you to a new job, new relationship, or a new ministry. Maybe he is asking you to step out of your comfort zone and take a leap of faith. Whatever it is, know that he has equipped you with everything you need to succeed. Psalm 27; 1 encourages us The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

There’s no greater joy than giving and serving. Acts 20;35 confirms this. In everything I did, I showed you by this kind of hard work, we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said. It is more blessed to give than to receive.

As it says in Romans 8;37. “ In all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. His promises are your shield and your strength.
