Tuesday's Verse of the Day Devotional

Good morning! Sometimes, things happen that is hard to find comfort or solace. There just is no understanding for it. We can get lost in the mystery and often isolate away from those who love us and enjoy our company.

It is a tactic of the enemy to cause trauma and pain to keep you from the love, fellowship, and comfort of others. Bitterness sets in and then you begin to hate that which you used to love. That is why it is dangerous to let pain dictate your life.

It is important to surround yourself with others who love you. They may not have the answers or be able to comfort you perfectly, but together, it is easier to navigate tough seasons than to do it alone. The devil wants you to think you don't need anyone. But God designed us to be in fellowship and community with others.

Our greatest consolation is in Christ who suffered like the chief of sinners, yet was blameless. His love comforts us beyond our understanding. Fellowship with other believers heals our brokenness and mends our wounds. A hug can go a long way. Crying with each other or rejoicing with each other can make all the difference.

Love one another and let love rule your heart instead of pain or pride. Put on the mind of Christ and bind yourself to the body of Christ. Live like you are practicing for heaven, because you are. Let His love and mercy be sufficient for you. Let wisdom guide you in all things to teach you how to make a great day!
