THE PULSE OF STRENGTH

Colossians 1:11 (CEV) His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy.   An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. ‘Cardio’ is derived from the Greek word "kardia," which means "heart," (which is where we get the ‘K’ in EKG). EKG’s are often performed when a problem is present. Even so, the pulse on the screen is proof that you’re still alive and kicking. Doctors get excited when they see that pulse moving up and down, and you should too, because the moment it becomes flat, you’re dead!   While we may wish for a life that is always smooth sailing, the reality is, we will face adversity. No one is exempt. When one is facing trouble, it may be difficult to appreciate the challenges. However, the ups and downs indicate that there is life. In Romans 8:28, we are reminded that "all things work together for good” – even the ups and downs. So, in the midst of difficult times, maintain a mountaintop perspective, knowing that God is present in times of trouble. Receive the strength of the Lord right now! You will not flatline! I decree and declare you will not faint in Jesus’ mighty name!   PROPHETIC DECLARATION I can endure all things, for I have grace for every challenge. When adversity comes, my strength will not fail, for the Lord is with me. Glory!   FURTHER STUDY Isaiah 54:11-17    DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY OF THE GOODNEWS DAILY DEVOTIONAL AT: www.goodnewsworld.com/goodnewsdaily
