Daily Devotion:
"Victory and Triumph..."
Romans 7:6
New International Version
6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
There are times in life when we have to deal with stress, but we can be on top of it, not under it. Through the Holy Spirit’s guidance and power, we can handle our work and responsibilities with ease instead of stress.
As we follow the promptings of the Spirit we will know how to handle each situation we encounter. All of us have situations that come our way that we don’t like. But with the power of God, we can go through those circumstances while also avoiding stress.
The more we lean on, and trust in, God, the easier life is. Every situation in life is not “easy,” but we can handle them with what I call “Holy Spirit Ease.” In other words, God empowers us to do whatever we need to do through Him. He energizes us and helps us. God will guide us, but we need to trust Him enough to follow His directions. He never gives us any advice that is not for our benefit and progress in life.
God is leading you into a place of victory and triumph, not into a place of defeat. As you follow His lead, I believe you will experience less stress than ever before. He may prompt you not to do something you want to do, or to do something you don’t want to do, but obedience to His leadership keeps us from taking wrong roads in life and wasting time and energy!
