And as for [the rest of] you, believers, do not grow tired or lose heart in doing good [but continue doing what is right without weakening].
There are times when individuals will come to me for advice and prayer, and when I tell them what the Word of God says or what I think the Holy Spirit is saying, their response is, “I know that’s right; God has been showing me the same thing. But, Joyce, it’s just too hard.”
There were times in my past when I said the same thing to God: "Lord, this is just too hard." But God graciously showed me that this is a lie the enemy tries to inject into our minds to get us to give up. God’s instructions are never too difficult for us to obey.
You can always walk in obedience to God because He has given His Spirit to work powerfully within us to help us at all times (John 14:16). The Holy Spirit is with us, and He will enable us to do anything and everything God asks of us.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me reject the lie that obedience is too hard. Strengthen me by Your Spirit, and enable me to follow Your direction with confidence, courage, and complete trust, amen.
