A Way

God will make a way for you especially when it seems impossible.

Read: Isaiah 11:16

16 He will make a highway for the remnant of his people,
the remnant coming from Assyria,
just as he did for Israel long ago
when they returned from Egypt.

Darkness

Get instructions from the one who knows. Darkness has no truthful answers.

Read: Isaiah 8:19-20

19 Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.” But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?

20 Look to God’s instructions and teachings! People who contradict his word are completely in the dark.

Look Both Ways

Too often we are looking outside for the danger when we need to pay close attention to what’s going on, on the inside.

Read: Psalms 55:9-10

9 Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans,
for I see violence and conflict in the city.
10 Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders,
but the real danger is wickedness within the city.

Here’s What To Do

Life happens – a friend betrays you, it is almost unbearable. There’s no getting around that so forgive quickly so you can move on.

Read: Psalms 55: 12-13

12 It is not an enemy who taunts me—
I could bear that.
It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me—
I could have hidden from them.
13 Instead, it is you—my equal,
my companion and close friend.

Not Counted Out

So we stumble sometimes but you won’t be counted out.

Read: Psalm 55:22

22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

Handle It

Learn to handle the good and bad times because God is in control of all.

Read: Ecclesiastes 7:14

14 Enjoy prosperity while you can,
but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God.
Remember that nothing is certain in this life.

You Choose

Justice begins at the individual level. You choose the way you go.

Read: Micah 6:8

8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.

Training

You can still perform in spite of your handicap. Keep training.

Read: I Corinthians 9:27 

27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

for by them you give me life.

The Reason Why

I hope we stop relying on ourselves and only rely on God. And here is the reason why.

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:9-10

9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. 10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.
