Wednesday, November 8, 2017 -God's Word

When life hits hard, where do you find peace? As Connie shares with us a time she faced a difficult moment, trusting God and leaning into the truth of His word is what ultimately led her out of the darkness. We all face the ugliness of life and all it throws at us when we least expect it. If our faith lies in Christ and the hope we have in our surrender to Him, we can fully believe we are storing up an eternal weight for all we go through. Regardless of what we see in our circumstances, we are able to honor God in our struggles.  Even Joshua, the leader of the Israelites, found himself lying on the ground and begging God to save them all from their enemy. God says the same thing to us today that He said to Joshua, "Get up."  As followers of Christ, we are called to proclaim the truth of the Good News while pouring that truth into the lives of those around us. Life is often difficult for so many reasons. We do not walk alone and Jesus is worth every step.   Joshua 1:2-5, 7-8; Joshua 6:3-5; Joshua 7:5-13; 1 John 1:1 Connie Champion
