“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy
ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials
will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and
purifies gold…” – 1 Peter 1:6-7,
NLT
Life is full of things that try to push us
down. We all face disappointments and setbacks.
Maybe you got bad news concerning your health,
or perhaps a relationship didn’t work out.
Maybe you lost your job. It was a setback.
When we face setbacks, it’s easy to get
discouraged or lose our enthusiasm.
Too often we are tempted to just settle where
we are.
But if we’re going to see God’s best, we have
to have a bounce-back mentality.
That means when you get knocked down, you
don’t stay down. You get back up again.
It means when disappointments come, you shake
them off knowing that what the enemy meant for your harm God is going to turn
around and use for your good.
This is a new day. Things are changing in your
favor.
You need to get ready because there’s a
bounce-back coming.
You’re going to bounce back from sickness,
bounce back from depression, bounce back from bad breaks, bounce back from
loss.
Keep standing, keep believing, and choose to
be a bounce-back person because you are coming out better off than you were
before!
You are rising higher, and you will fulfill
the destiny God has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father in heaven, thank You for Your
grace, mercy, and favor. I ask for rain in the time of rain, I ask for increase
in Your favor and blessing so I can be a blessing to those around me today and
always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

best days are still out in front of you. Whether you are joining us in person
