WHAT SUSTAINS YOU?

The biggest lesson in life is discovering what will sustain you on the bottom of the mountain in troubling and difficult times and what what will stable you when you're on top of the mountain and have gained success and victory. Knowing what keeps you and gives you courage doesn't change! It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It does not grow weary in well-doing and is ever-ready to help in time of need. 

It is patient and kind and always believes the best of you. It is always ready and willing to give wisdom liberally. As we ponder it, it provides perfect, nothing-missing, nothing-broken peace. It will not force any fear on us, but does give power, love, and a sound mind (will and emotions). It also gives supernatural strength based on how excited and joyful your attitude is toward it. 

Nothing can exceed the glory of it's presence. It's called the comforter, the spirit of truth-- the HOLY SPIRIT! 

Develop grit, tenacity, and endurance regarding the Word of God. Allow your faith to be refined and renewed. Learn to release your faith when you speak. Not hoping or with wishful thinking, but with concrete confident expectation--resting on God's promises and provision. Let God's love take deep root within your heart. Cast your care upon Him and trust Him because greater is He that is in You than He that is in the world! 

Your vision will never be greater than your expectation.
