"The Lord directs the steps of the godly.He delights in every detail of their lives." Psalm 37:23
This week I've been reminded that my steps are directed by the Lord. And this gives me great confidence for the future.
Matthew 6:33 says "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
When I look at my life, where I've been, where I am now and what God has done and is doing, it amazes me every time!
Serving God is the best life; the only life. And as long as I am living my life for Him, I have nothing to worry about because I know He will guide every single step!
Whatever is happening in your life right now, never forget that seeking the Kingdom of God is priority #1, and as long as you are living for Him, He'll direct you every step of the way. Not sure what the future holds? No worries! Put your trust in God and enjoy life; the abundant life you were meant to live!
This is one amazing race! Run hard!

You Can Make It!
"Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out: "Papa, Father, you can—can't you?—get me out of this. Take this cup away from me. But please, not what I want—what do you want?" Mark 14:35-36
I can't imagine what Jesus went through the night before He was crucified, knowing that the next day He would be humiliated, beaten, whipped, spit on, stripped and ultimately killed.
The Bible tells us that although He asked for another option, ultimately He trusted His Father, and surrendered to His will.
Whatever you are going through today, no matter how difficult or painful, I want to encourage you to remember the example that Jesus set for us. Maybe you can't see how you are going to make it and you want out! Well guess what, you can make it through anything! Your Father will make sure of it! You can trust Him.
So like it says in Joshua 1:9, "...be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Chill Out!
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him..." Psalm 37:7
Life is busy! Not enough time to do everything on the 'To Do' list. Not enough hours in a day! Not enough days in a week! Go, go go!
Ever felt this way? I sure have! In fact, I have just come through a crazy busy time, and my schedule has been insane! Working, travelling, speaking, teaching, and on and on it goes! Life is busy! But I feel like the Lord is saying there is a rest available "in Him", and I need to slow down!!
So whatever you have on your 'To Do' list today, and however full your schedule seems right now, why don't you take a few minutes and stop; just slow down and enjoy life! Grab a ice cold glass of water, sit outside in the summer heat, and do NOTHING but rest in Him.
Simple, but necessary for this amazing race we are running!
