LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)
"The spirit in you is stronher than anything in the world" (1John4:4TM)
POWER TO OVERCOME LIFE CHALLENGES
When life hands you a' lemon' you can either say 'woe is me or you make a lemonade. Its not what happened to you its what happened in you that count. Challenges come to change you. The way you respond determines its impact on you life.
When a driving injury turned Joni Eareckson into paralytic, her world changed radically. Faced with an unknown future her first response was to look for a quick way out. Her second was to live. She learnt to paint holding a brush in her mouth, and later took classes at a university. A public-speaking course inspired her to talk about what she knew best: relating to physically challenged people, life in a wheelchair and her experience as a follower of Christ. When she made a list of her heart desires she wrote: 'its time to step out...into a new dream. To be a 'doer' of God's word...and help other disabled people with dreams of their own.'
From that desire was born 'Joni and friends' a ministry that brings together people of faith and disable persons, sponsored workshops and offer financial aid. Joni also has her own radio program on 900-plus stations. She also got married and is a popular speaker who's authored 18 books. She says 'I don't know what lies ahead. But I do know who I am. I have a dream, and I know where I am going'.
John Writes. 'The Spirit in you is...stronger than anything in the world. And Jesus said he who overcomes...I will acknowledge...before my father(Rev. 3:5 NIV). Don't build a monument where challenges met you, make it a stepping stone to new achievements.'
Prayer Point
Father, Let the power of your Spirit put me over every challenge of life in Jesus name.
