Challenges won't last!

 

Do you ever get the feeling that every direction you turn you face a problem or a challenge? I am sure we have all faced those times in our life where it seems like everything is stacked against you. It is so easy to get down and say, "Whoa is me!" When that happens all we need is a reminder of how GOOD GOD IS to us. All we need to do is remember his hand of blessing and how he has always cared for us, in GOOD TIMES AND BAD. 

The CHALLENGES WON'T LAST!

In Acts 23, Paul was facing opposition on every turn. There were even plots to kill him. 

"There were more than forty of them in the conspiracy. They went to the leading priests and elders and told them, 'We have bound ourselves with an oath to eat nothing until we have killed Paul. So you and the high council should ask the commander to bring Paul back to the council again. Pretend you want to examine his case more fully. We will kill him on the way." (Acts 23:13-15, NLT)

As the story unfolds, God intervenes. The plot is foiled. While Paul was being attacked on every side he had someone on this side that completely protects him. 

We are just the same. God will not abandon us, nor forsake us. 

"How the king rejoices in your strength, O Lord! He shouts with joy because you give him victory. For you have given him his heart's desire; you have withheld nothing he requested." (Psalm 21:1-2, NLT)

We can all say, AMEN to that. God always provides and we rejoice in his strength. He gives us our hearts desires and fill us with an amazing blessing. Thank you Lord!

Heavenly Father, when I get a little down because of the circumstances of life, all I need to do is to follow you, rely upon you, and your strength will get me through. I am reminded how great you are and I rejoice in you and your provision. Thank you Lord for all you have done for me. Amen!
