Don’t fight the pressure; embrace it. Use it as fuel to go further, to believe bigger, to trust that God is in control. Check out Joel's message, "Healthy Pressure": bit.ly/3LwFSDa

There will be times when it feels like God has forgotten about you. If you judge your life by where you are right now, you’ll get discouraged. What you can’t see is what’s coming. You have to endure some things, looking forward to the joy that’s on the way.

Take time to thank Him. Look back at the great things He’s done. You’ve had times where you saw the mighty God at work, doing what only He can do. Remember those “Am I not the God” moments. Am I not the God that healed you, that freed you, that promoted you, that sustained you?

If my mother were here today, she would tell you, don’t let go of what God promised you. Keep believing even though it doesn’t look like anything is changing. What you can’t see is things are happening behind the scenes. Click here to watch: "Lessons From My Mother"

It's been a wonderful day.
