How To Go On

Ecclesiastes 11:9-10, Psalms 9:9-10, 55:22, Philippians 4:19, I Peter 5:7

Many people stop enjoying and living life when they are in times of trouble and problems, only to find that there are more challenges to come into their life. The physical body is aging, friends move away, people change their opinions, likes and dislikes are altered and all of these things impact us. If one is not careful they live in a rut of problems, irritability, and negative thoughts, words, and actions. Yes, we all have problems and challenges with a few moments of victory in between the challenging times. There are many reasons why life is this way. One is that we see heaven more clearly where there are no problems. Another is that we learn lessons that God is teaching us now or He is leading us in choices and decisions that honor Him. We must remember that God gives victories and the physical body is returning to dust. So, enjoy the day and trust God to work out the questions as you obey the Word and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Time and life move on and God blesses as one obeys Him.
