Unexpected Challenges

Well it is finally cold this morning. Here in the midwest so far we have had no winter really to speak of it has been pretty mild, then you get up this morning and it is 19 degrees, whew! what a change. That is how it is at times in our faith walk everything seems to be going so smooth and there are no glitches to speak of, but then one morning you get up and it seems like world war three just broke out challenges seem to be just flying off the shelf at you and you do not know where they came from, or why they are coming. Well, first of all you have done nothing wrong it is just the struggle of faith that you are facing. Secondly, realize that if you were not in faith you would not be facing the struggle, trouble and adversity come because of the Word. Mark 4:15 "And these are they by the wayside, where the Word is sown; but when they have heard, satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts". So the attack is intended to destroy the Word in your heart, to get you to back off and quit working the Word, but I have good gospel news! If you will refuse to back off, back down, cave in or quit you will win every time! This is not a once in a while victory this is a everyday victory.

Recognize the challenge for what it is, an attempt to steal the Word and then stand your ground knowing that you already have the victory and that you cannot be stopped!
