Brethren, what God did for us yesterday should be our testimony to the challenges or problems of today.
Why is it that when we are faced with challenges or problems today, we easily forget that we faced a similar one yesterday and God made a way and came through for us?
The needs God met with yesterday should be our testimony to the needs of today.
When faced with needs, our response should be if God met with my needs yesterday, I know He can and will meet with my needs today.
The battles God won for us yesterday should be our testimony to the battles of today.
The miracles God performed for us yesterday should be our testimony to the trials of today.
Where God took us from yesterday should be our testimony to where we are today.
What God did for us or for those in the Bible should be our point of reference when faced with a difficult or hopeless situation.
"They should be your go-to place for faith and encouragement in times of doubt and discouragement."
What God did for us yesterday should be our testimony to the Voices of fear, doubt, worry and discouragement today.
When I was about going in for my second surgery, fear and worry was trying to come in but my testimony was if God saw me through my first surgery, He will also see me through the second one.
When we learn to remember all that God has done for us, we would worry less and trust God more no matter the situation we are in.
I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
(Psalm 34:1 ESV)
Let's give more thought to all that God has done for us and less thought to what we are currently going through.
Not only would your heart be shielded from doubt, worry and discouragement, but you will also see yourself prasing and thanking God more.
