OVERCOMING LIFE'S CHALLENGES

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Monday 20th May 2019

TOPIC: OVERCOMING
LIFE CHALLENGES

TEXT: "The testing of your faith produces endurance"(James 1:3NAS).

 Endurance means 'staying the course'. But endurance is only a mere word until you have to deal with a strife-torn marriage, the long road back from bankruptcy, divorce or illness, the rebuilding of your life, or the required preparation for success in any field.

 It takes faith and commitment to keep going when friends fail you, discouragement whispers ' give up' and doubts say 'it can't be done'. That's when you need to listen to another voice that tells you to keep going regardless of the challenges. Strong faith in God is the backbone of endurance. It becomes your anchor in the storm, your compass in times of confusion, and the head of steam that gets you up the next hill. Remember, God knows when to discontinue a trial in your life because it purpose has been fulfilled. And He gave us two great promises:

1) His comforting presence. (Isaiah 43:2-5).

2) The assurance that He won't permit more pressure than we can handle (1Corinthians 10:13).

But there is another reason, others are watching! Apostle Paul writes, 'People are watching us as we stay at our post... Working hard, working late, without eating, with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness and honest love; when we are telling the truth...when God's showing His power; when we are doing our best setting things right; when we are praised and when we are blamed; slandered and honored; true to our word, though distrusted; ignored by the world, but recognized by God...immersed in tears yet always filled with deep joy; living on handouts, yet enriching many; having nothing, having it all (1Corithians6:1-10 TM).

INSPIRATIONAL  QUOTE FOR TODAY

"Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit."

-- Conrad Hilton

PROPHETIC DECLARATION FOR TODAY

The Sovereign Lord says today that your gift is making room for you. There are times that all your best efforts may seem futile. Your greatest experience of miracles will be in the small things. Stand up today before your giant and
sling the stones of your faith at Goliath’s
head. I will take your feeble efforts and add God-speed acceleration to them. I will take the little that you make available to Me and
bring about a great outcome…..
