Today's challenge

Everyday on this earth is a challenge.A challenge we seem to have to go through everyday of our lives.It is never easy, because it poses a problem and the problem looks us in the face as if it were laughing at us and saying "I challenge you to get over and through this"! When this particular challenge comes, it always drags along the very solution to get through it. But then the solution is masked and well tucked away from our sight.The only thing that faces us is fear, despair, frustration, discouragement, giving up and so on. If you are a follower of Christ, you know how challenging it is just to stay as obedient and subservient to the Word of the Lord that has laid down in His Law. And if you're not a follower, you still are human and realize hardships when they come at you and feel a sense of vulnerability. Satan poses a threat everywhere we turn to thereby bring up a challenge. And one of the weapons he uses against us, and perhaps the one he uses most, is Fear. Fear is always injected into us anytime we are faced with a problem and the mind is quickly receptive to it.Once fear has taken place we begin to shy away from facing up to the problem and challenging it.This way we are defeated right from the start.What people (along with myself) say is ,"I give up"! I cant seem to go on any longer!!! But HEY.....Do NOT give up!! For if life is a challenge, then you are going to face challenges that will put you to the test. You are equipped with the tools and knowledge to pass these tests and trails. And as a follower of Christ it means you have to be stronger everyday to overcome the challenges you face or... WILL face. If there is a problem then there is a solution to the problem. So the challenge you face is.... finding the solution to the problem. Remember there is ALWAYS a solution or answer to the problem. It could be a hot minute of time before you get the solution.But the solution is always there. We are blessed with the Word that provides the teachers answer key and so whatever problem that poses a challenge to our daily life, has already been taken care of by MY Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. THAT is so reassuring! C'mon somebody! 

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30
