With difficult exams, a tough work schedule, developing relationships, mental, spiritual & physical exhaustion and busy times ahead all going on or coming ahead at the moment this is a time of real challenge.
I don't think a challenge is something we cannot do but something it takes an effort to do and my life is very challenging at the moment in that sense at least.
This is the verse that comes to mind, it is from the amazing chapter of faith in Hebrews 11...
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
I don't know how any of the things I am doing are going to work out. Some will not work out as I imagined or hoped, some will be everything I wished for & more. But I know that whatever happens, God is in control and I know He will do right by me and more importantly right by HIM, and He is a Just God :-)
My devotion this morning was really sweet it was based on Hebrews 12:1 which is...
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
It linked the verse up to this beautiful poem...
'When the powers of hell prevail,
O'er our weakness and unfitness,
Could we lift the fleshly veil,
could we for a moment witness
Those unnumbered hosts that stand
Calm and bright on either hand;
Oh, what joyful hope would cheer,
Oh, what serene faith would guide us!
Great may be the danger near,
Greater are the friends beside us.'
