I hope you all are having a wonderful week and walking with the Lord daily in your Bible and in prayer. I found quite an interesting article this week in World magazine that I hope encourages you as you do the "work of life." Andree Seu comments in her editorial "No glib utterances" from the July 18, 2009 issue of World:
"God's commands turn out to be doorways to intimacy with Him. And the best kept secret about obedience in the face of a hard temptation is that there is a blessing waiting on the other side. Satan doesn't want us to know that. He would prefer the usual succumb-and-repent routine. The real work of life happens at the cellular level of one-moment-at-a-time believing God's promises, praying like breathing, and obeying His Spirit immediately. There are no larger battles. There is no more profound analysis of the decline of the church."
If you are like me, you will have to read this several times to let it sink in, but it is worth it! As we are walking out our faith daily let's hold each other up in prayer and spur each other on in obedience to Christ.
All for Christ,
Mike Kuckel
