Have you ever noticed that pretty much daily we all have obstacles that seem to be thrown in our pathways..it’s always something that kinda gets in the way..or causes a distraction with us and our lives..there is those things that always want us to stop..always wants us to not enjoy our lives or our day that we’ve been blessed with..always there is excuses of the reasons why we can’t or the reasons why we shouldn’t..but guys that is that ole evil one..he always throws things our way..we don’t get to just walk along a pathway and all is well…for that just isn’t so..we may get up and maybe for some they may feel fine and dandy and all of a sudden they have a headache…they don’t feel good…maybe they get in a disagreement with their child..or a family member…or their back begins to hurt..or their  feet..or their legs…or they have financial problems..or their bills are due…I mean really guys there is always something that is there in our way that causes us to stop and not do anything..or literally focus on what is happening to the point as to where they don’t enjoy anything about, anything..but I’ve come to say today is that the devil is a liar..John 8:44..and that God is with you..Isaiah 41:10…you don’t give up because of obstacles..because we will have them and we will face them..we don’t stop everything because we may be having a bad day..or not a very good day..because we can do all things through Christ which gives us the strength..Philippians 4:13..but what we do is get up and preserve..and push through the hard times..and grow through them..and don’t dwell on them..but overcome them…move on and daily get up and move on..praying through it all..and leaning and trusting in the Lord through it all…because it doesn’t mean that them problems are going to last…it just means that were growing..and our skin so to speak is getting tougher…for I’m sure we all can look back at when we first started serving the Lord and if something were to happen we pretty much lost it..I mean we thought life was over..or that it was never going to get any better…am I not right..but we prayed..and we grew..and we matured..and learned to trust in the Lord with everything…knowing that our God is faithful..1 Corinthians 1:9..and that God is always on time for us..so today we all do better..because we know that God has never failed us..and He will never fail us..so today we are strong..and we are firmly planted..and the winds and the waves…and all of these other things can be thrown our way…but we pray..and we lean and we laugh..and we believe..and we enjoy our lives..because we know that no matter what that God is in control…and that God holds us in the palm of His hands..Isaiah 49:16..and that we are the apple of His eyes..Zechariah 2:8..so we rest..and we enjoy our lives..whether were on the mountain top of our lives..or whether were way down low in the valley of our lives..we still enjoy where we are..because we know that it is all for a reason..and only for a season..so we let go of what we think..and we let God always and forever have His way in our lives..for I love the scripture that says, thou He slay me..yet will I trust in Him..Job 13:15..Amen..so let us all trust in Jesus..always trusting and leaning on Him..for we serve a good God..and guys He is good all the time..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
