TRY HIM
Scripture Reading:1Peter 1:3-7
Key Verse:1Peter 5:9>Resist him,
steadfast in the faith knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

One of the ways satan works to defeat you is through feelings of discouragement.He knows if he can cause you to doubt the goodness of God,there is a chance you will become fearful and give up.Often the Lord allows the enemy's arrows to get through His protective cover so that your faith is tried and strengthened.
Frustrations,feelings of inferiority,external pressures,and any number of difficulties can be delivered from the enemy's hand.What do you do when the going gets rough? Do you take your stand and resist the enemy the way Peter instructed us to do? Or do you become weak under the attack?
First of all,ask God to help you not to become discouraged in the midst of the battle.All of God's greatest saints had to learn how to handle heartaches and disappointments along with all kinds of
evil.Reading about their victories and defeats will bring insight and hope to your life.
You will find that when you are at your weakest point,God is your greatest source of help.Prayer is your most efficient tool for spiritual victory.Remember,it must be fueled by faith.you can trust God on all battle fronts because He is faithful in Whatever concerns Him.Trust Him.Try Him,and witness His power at work in your life.

PRAYER;
I trust you,Lord.you are my greatest source of help.Thank you for the privilage of prayer,which brings spiritual victory!Amen.

YOUR LOVING SHEPHERD

Scripture Reading:John 10:1-15
Key Verse:John 10:15>As the Father knows Me,even so I know the Father;and I lay down My life for the sheep.

Many times we resist thinking of Jesus as our Shepherd until we find ourselves in the throes of trouble and despair.We may choose instead to meditate on His strenth and power as our ruling Lord,or see Him as our merciful savior who forgives our sins.Yet how many of us, when facing a great threat or trial,have turned to psalm 23 and discovered amazing comfort and peace?
There is great security in Jesus. He is your intimate,loving Shepherd.
Only in Him do we find patience needed to protect and care for trouble and wandering sheep.

PRAYER;
Heavenly Shepherd, thank You for protecting me.You are my intimate,loving Shepherd.Amen.
