With all the things in this world that we face- It is so easy to lose sight of God and the bigger picture. All the struggles we battle with and how easy it is to feel consumed by our trials and storms. I encourage you that no matter what you are faced with today to keep your eyes fixed on God. He will lead us through each of the storms and challenges we are faced with in this life.
***********************************************************
Matthew 6:25-34 - [ Key verse] - 25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
***********************************************************
God WILL supply for our needs! I want to remind each of us that we must consecrate everything and everyone. I was reminded last night and this am agian HIS eyes ARE on the sparrow. [Matthew 10: 21-45] What ever we are faced with, what ever trials we endure, WE are not alone! These trials are for growing purposes. To make us stronger, to build us up, give us hope, grow our faith, our trust in Him, to help us lean more on Him and His ways- rather then ourself.
Remember His ways are not our ways, Nor is His time our Time! His plan will come forth in His timing for each of our lives.
Again we must consececrate EVERYTHING & EVERYONE! Surrendering all OF Our Life, Everyone & Everything within our life- must be given to Him, so that HE may have complete and total control. Remember- The shepard always watches over His flock!
**********************************************************
1 Peter 1: 5-8 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
**********************************************************
As we continue growing in Him during this challenge I pray that we will have put forth more effort to make time with Him, that we are learning to AND surrenduring our life, everything-everyone with in- to Him, we are growing more in Him - Mind, Body & Spirit. I pray that our prayer, our trust and faith in him has increased and that we are all ready to walk forward out in to the unknown when He calls to each of us.
Are you hearing His voice call out to you during this journey? What things has He shared with you or asked from you? Have you completely surrendered everything to Him! These are things we need to check ourselves with? - Am I willing to answer the call from Christ when He calls? [even if that means going to a place outside of our comfort zone- are we willing to accept and pursue this call from Him?]
Isnt God Awesome?

What are some of the worst things to say to someone who's suffering? (Job 1-23)
Key verse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Surely God does not reject a blameless man
or strengthen the hands of evildoers.
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter
and your lips with shouts of joy.
Your enemies will be clothed in shame,
and the tents of the wicked will be no more."
Job 8:20-22
