Hi Brian!
It is looking like 'doing something a little different' may be the theme for this year! Here is Jerry Savelle's website devotional!
FROM
DISASTER TO VICTORY
But as for
you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to
bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. (Genesis
50:20 NKJV)
If you knew
beyond a shadow of doubt your present adversity was going to turn into a
glorious victory, would you give up and quit?
In the hands
of God, the very thing that may look like a total disaster today can turn into
a wonderful victory tomorrow. He can turn your tears of sorrow into tears of
joy. And even while you are under attack, you can have joy in your heart and
laugh at the devil because you know you already have the victory and will come
out stronger in the end.
Joseph was a
man who went through decades of adversity and unimaginable loss. But he held
fast to a vision God had given him as a young man. In the end, Joseph saw that
vision come to pass as he was put in charge of a nation.
I don’t know
what trial you may be going through today, but if you will exercise your faith
and allow patience to have her perfect work, you will experience the Lord’s
compassion and mercy. In the natural, you may be facing a disaster. But God can
use the very situation the devil has brought against you and turn it into the
greatest blessing you have ever experienced.
Choose to
continue standing in faith. You have everything to gain by standing, and
everything to lose by quitting. Don’t give up. Don’t quit believing the Word.
God’s Word will bring you from disaster to victory.
Confession: I
believe God will turn every adversity and disaster in my life around for my
good. I will stand in faith and trust God to bring me from disaster to victory.
AMEN! This last year (2020) was one of the hardest for a great number of people. For the Swoveys it was an extrordinarily BLESSED year! God will AlWAYS turn our adversity into something victorious if we refuse to quit, refuse to be discouraged and refuse to get out of love. When I felt led to share this with you, I also felt as though this may be of help to you as you minister to someone you know who may be having questions and needing direction. Your life and family shine as a great light for others to see HIM! Here is Hillsong with "What The World Will never Take":
Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
