In what area are you facing your greatest challenge and perhaps losing the battle?

“I’m so tired and need to gain new strength.”
“I’m depressed and need hope.”
“I doubt God, but want to walk by faith.”
“I can’t control my tongue.”
“I have a problem with anger.”
“I lust.”
“I covet.”
“I’m discontent.”
“I worry too much.”

The enemy would much prefer you to remain captive. Whatever the area or whatever the sin, imagine what your life would be like…image the possibilities of what God could do in and through you if you gained victory and freedom in that area!

Here’s my challenge: before the sun goes down today, prayerfully identify that area (both you and God already know it anyway), find a verse that speaks to it, memorize it, ask God to use it to transform you and then mediate on it daily. If you can’t find the right verse, then look in a concordance or search a topical Bible on the Internet like the one at http://www.biblegateway.com/topical/.

Now, how long do you suppose it will be after you’ve memorized this verse that God will start using it in your life? Like 5 minutes? That’s right and the Holy Spirit will have instant access to this verse to encourage you, to help you resist temptation, to increase your faith, to give you strength or to deal with whatever your need is.

It’s only one verse, but think of the possibilities! God is faithful and His Word is powerful. And it seems like Jesus did say something about the Truth setting you free (John 8:32).
