It might be hard but it’s gonna be great
And so so worth it.
I hear the water surging-
The gates of the dam are about to be opened.
Breakthrough is coming.
It might be hard but it’s gonna be great
And so so worth it.
I hear the water surging-
The gates of the dam are about to be opened.
Breakthrough is coming.
“See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day”
(Beautiful Day by U2)
It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away.
Even if you are just at work or at home studying-it’s a beautiful day!

“Our problem is not that we expect too much of God, but that we expect far too little of Him. We must truly believe that what the Bible says is true, that its promises are real, and that He who promised is able to do that which He says…
* He will supernaturally protect us from harm. (Psalm 91:5-12)
* He will save, heal, and rescue us from destruction and fill us with good things. (Psalm 103:1-4)
* He will not withhold any good thing from us. (Psalm 84:11-12)
* He will give us supernatural strength and power. (Isaiah 40:29-31)
* He will keep us in perfect peace as we look to Him. (Isaiah 26:3)
* He will do even beyond what we ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
* He will give us victory over sin. (Romans 8:2-6)
* He will give us power over the Enemy. (James 4:7)
* He will stand against all who stand against us. (Isaiah 54:17)
This is only a taste of the promises God has given us in His Word. There are two ways to respond to them: we can explain them away, as many theologians and modern writers have done, and live as if they do not apply to our daily, moment-by-moment lives. Or we can actually believe them and build our lives around them. *”
