What Is Your Challenge Today? How Are You Handling It? You Are Not Alone.....

How are you handling the challenges of life?   Are you giving up or are you pressing through?   To press means to push beyond.   To push beyond what is hurting....To push beyond what is directly in front of you.   It means to exert physical force to get something into a certain position.

In life we sometimes have to press through what is keeping us from experiencing God's best for our lives.   We have to "push past" people, places, and things in order to get in the proper position to receive the blessings of God.    The word press tells you that there is an opposing force.   It speaks of something coming against you.   Whether it be financial pressure or pressure in our bodies....there are things in life that oppose you experiencing God's best for your life.   

Challenges are not always easy to overcome but God said in His word that He is your strength in times of weakness.   So He will be the strength you need in order to push past the challenges of life.    He said that He is a ever ready help.   So at whatever point in life you call on Him, He is always ready to help you.   What we try to do is push in our own strength.   We try to face the challenges on our own.    We can never get to a place of rest if we try to do it alone.    Rest requires surrender.    Rest requires you taking the load....the challenges of life......and giving them to God.  

As you go throughout your day today....go knowing that God goes before you.   If He goes before .... He sees everything that is about to happen.   Know that He is your "rearguard".   So nothing can creep up on you to overtake you.    Know that God is in you.    For the Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of you.    Know that God has you covered from the inside out.    Acknowledge His presence and allow Him to work for you and through you.   It's all about acknowledging who His is .... so that He can work on your behalf.

Thank you, Lord for covering me. You go before me and you are my rear guard. YOU dwell inside of me and you said that YOU would never forsake or leave me. I depend completely on YOU!!!

What Do You Do When You Are Not Sure What To Do?

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
