“Most of the time in our lives when something is out there in front of us that is going to be a battle or is going to harm us we think..our immediate thought is to back away or even turn around and run..Amen..because none of us want the battle..none of us really wants to be challenged as to where we have to fight to get through it..can be something as simple as learning a new task..Amen..even that is challenging..and so change is not one of those things we do easy..most of the time many miss a lot that God has tried to give them..all because they didn’t take hold of what He alone placed in front of them to have..Amen..but either way if the Lord has given you something..you may have to work through it..and overcome many obstacles along the way..but the beginning of a thing is the hardest part..Ecclesiastes 7:8..and most of the time for us it is simply obedience on our parts to say Yes, to our Father..because faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..so we can’t turn away every time there is a challenge..or there is this unseeingly obstacle in front of us..kind of like the children of Israel as they went forth to go and inherit their promise land..and the Lord leads them too the water where they had no other place to go..they had two choices they could make..they could go through it and trust the Lord or turn back and be captured by the Egyptian army that was there on their trail..so they continued on even with the impossible situation that they were faced with..and the Lord showed up..and the Lord our God just as He always does parted those waters for them..and overtook their enemies..Exodus 14..so for us all this very day..know that God is the same God that He was then..and what He does and did for others the same He will do for us..Amen..it takes our faith..to keep going even when it all seems impossible..or even out of our league so to speak..because the end of that thing..whatever it is will be incredible..so be not afraid of whatever it may be..for the Lord our God is with us..1 Kings 8:57..and He alone is our help..our strength..our wisdom..our knowledge and our deliverer..Amen..He which has begun a good work will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ..Philippians 1:6..so keep moving forward whatever way the Lord leads you..for He has great things just ahead of those impossible situations that you may be faced with this very day..Amen..and be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might..and put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand..Ephesians 6:10-12..Amen..because in and of ourselves we can do nothing..but with the Lord we can do all things..Philippians 4:13..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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
