God has challenged me to grow in my knowledge of Him but I have to CHOOSE whether or not to display this growth through my actions.

Remember, the Devil loves to make us focus on the little that's wrong so we miss the big picture of all that's right.

Unbroken companionship helps us hear His instruction so then we can see His direction. We must not seek direction before obeying His instruction.

Progress. Just make progress. It's okay to have setbacks and the need for do-overs. It's okay to draw a line in the sand and start over again - and again. Just make sure you're moving the line forward. Move forward. Take baby steps... Then change will come. And it will be good.

Being uncertain and scared and riddled with doubt some days isn't a sign of bad things to come. It's actually quite the opposite. After all, if great things weren't on the horizon, I don't think the enemy would be so bent on attacking us.

Lord, help me to see what comes my way as an opportunity instead of an inconvenience.

Which do I care more about - demanding my rights or displaying right choices?
