"Daily Challenge"


What is your toughest challenge?

Is it a subject at school?  Is it getting along with someone? (No names, please!)

Do you have a hard time spending time with the Lord each day? Most people struggle with that one and have to work very hard to be consistent.

How much do you believe in that you can reach your dreams and have your heart's desire.

How many people have gotten to the ends of the lives – and then looked back at their days and saw a list of things that they didn't do because they feared the would fail.

What are you avoiding because it seems out of the question – but you WOULD do if you were 100 percent certain that you would succeed?

The way you will be able to accomplish the difficult subjects in high school (and college), get along with the jerk in the dorm next to yours who plays his stereo at 2AM; how you will forgive your friend who told lies about you; the way you will overcome the besetting sin that seems great for a little while but sucks the life out of you later – you'll do these things when the power of God is what powers your life.  That only happens when you understand that the way you succeed begins on your knees with your Bible open and on your face giving yourself over to much prayer. 

This verse tells you how you will be able to have a successful Christian life.  It begins with the assumption that you see that you are powerless to do anything good on your own. 

Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?” 

With the Lord Jesus as master of your life, you have the benefit of HIS strength winning your battles, overcoming your sins, and umpiring your relationships.
