Take heart; I have overcome the world. – John 16:33
Everybody is taking something … the most commonly used supplement in the USA is still the humble multivitamin. Even with amazing advances in science, most nutritionists still agree the best way to stay healthy is to get your nutrients directly from a balanced wholesome diet of fresh foods. And the same principle applies to your spiritual life.
There are many wonderful options to attend church and Bible studies or small groups via live streaming and virtual connection platforms. No doubt these supplements are effective and add value to your life. Yet a daily personal encounter with God is still essential to your good spiritual health.
Do you dread the future today? Are you struggling to overcome fear? Feast on God’s Word and let it strengthen your soul. “I am God and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purposes” (Isaiah 46:8-9). “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:29-31).
Pray for the leadership in America’s government and churches to be committed to spiritual health by spending time in God’s Word. Ask God to bless America by placing men and women of deep faith in office through upcoming elections. Take your vitamins today and take heart, the future is secure in God’s plan.
Today’s Verse: John 16:33

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
