"Fear thou not; for I am with thee" -- Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)
Your decision to seek a deeper relationship with God will not remove all problems from your life; to the contrary, it will bring about a series of personal crises as you constantly seek to say "yes" to God, while the world encourages you to do otherwise. Each time you are tempted to distance yourself from the Creator, you will face a spiritual crises A few of these crises may be monumental in scope, but most will be small, everyday decisions of life. In fact, life here on earth can be seen as one test after another - and with each crises comes yet another opportunity to grow closer to God . . . or to distance yourself from His plan for your life.
Today, you will face many opportunities to say "yes" to your Creator - and you will also encounter many opportunities to say "no" to Him. Your answers will determine the quality of your day and the direction of your life, so answer carefully . . . very carefully.
"The Christian life is not a playground; it is a battleground" --- Warren Wiersby
Dear Lord, when life seems chaotic, remind us of Your love and protection. Difficult times provide opportunities for us to grow closer to You. Thank You for all that this day has to offer. Amen.
