God is Preparing Me

If you’ve ever put money into a Flexible Spending Account, you have a good idea of what it means to plan ahead.

This tax-free money can feel like a saving grace for you if you receive an unexpected medical bill.

Did you know God’s Word stored up within you is also a saving grace? If we put in enough, we will have a reserve of authority that guarantees us victory over emotions, situations, and temptations that we’ll experience any day of the week.

I like to think about this process as using our “Spiritual FSA” (Faith Scripture Authority). Jesus used scripture to gain his victory when the enemy came to tempt him in Matthew 4, and we can do the same.

Here is a scripture we can add to our accounts right now that will boost our confidence in God as we start our week:

“When you go through deep waters,
    I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
    you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
    you will not be burned up;
    the flames will not consume you.” 

(Isaiah 43:2 NLT)

What other promises from God’s Word can you add to your reserve this week?
