Philippians 3:14 NIV
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Yesterday, the adversary of my life was determined to keep me agitated and defeated. I made a choice to stay calm. Things kept coming my way, get gas, car needs oil, gas station closed, pump won't give receipt, tire pressure low, need to turn around hazard spill on highway...and on it went. Then, my plane was delayed for over an hour. I just kept telling myself, "God is in control." In the end, all was well. God saw me through. My contentment is based on God's ability to take care of me not my own ability. I truly believe the Word of God. When I am about His (God's) business, He is about mine!
This morning it all started again. I have stayed at hotels all over the world and rarely in the states do I have issues with computer connections. Today, at one of the best hotels for internet connections the war began again. I know that I am on a mission. I hear the Lord say, "When my people, called by My name, are on a mission for me, I will see them through!" God is faithful to His word. There is a confidence that comes when you are in complete obedience and submission to the Lord. There is a grease in your gears if you will, for the long haul and the step hills in this journey. Just keep forging ahead. Stay calm and keep going.
ACTION STEP: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” The Good News: Keep going, no matter what other people say. Your one true companion throughout life is God and He will never abandon you. Stay the course. Forge ahead. Persevere!
