Haste has ruined many a budding love story and many prosperous business partnerships. We live with a God who has planned the universe, and He has some long range plans for you. Build your life with an expectation that He is building it with you—don’t get in a hurry and take the detour of mistakes!

One nugget of wisdom can instantly bring clarity to any difficult decision. Wisdom is the picture of new hope and a new possibility for the situations that stand before us.  We are to ask for wisdom knowing that God will respond with the answer, idea, or nugget of truth necessary to scale our mountain!

God has given us simple tools to help us construct a beautiful garden of peace and tranquility in the midst of life’s storms. Yet, I would have to ask the question: Have we opened the toolbox to discover what is available to each one of us?

God is for me! Who can be against me? With these words ringing in your ears, I challenge you today to get up and get going! You are the only one who can—no one else can do it for you!

Remember that we must keep God’s ways. God’s way is the LOVE way! What does love say? It does not remember a wrongful hurt. It does not seek its own. It is not easily provoked. It speaks no evil. Love does not envy. Love is kind. Love endures all things. Love is the force from which faith flows! No love—no faith!

Have you considered recently that God gave His Son to die on a cross, so that you might be justified just as if you had never sinned? This is amazing love!

Regardless of how difficult the crisis is that you may be facing, continue on! God will guide you in your everyday affairs. He is committed to you more than you could ever commit to Him!

In the hectic day to day race that most people find themselves in, it is good to remember that we must take in God’s Word so that we may take out the kind of life He desires for us!

What difficulties are you facing today? Difficult times require strong faith, and difficult times produce champions! I think of Noah who built an ark when no one understood rain or recognized the flood ahead of them. We can build an ark through our prayers and communion with God. When all things seem difficult, remember our heroes of faith!

Let’s not make prayer difficult! Keep it simple—that’s how God designed it! Religion is the extra ingredient of unbelief added to the simplicity of Christ’s cross. Faith is the simple confession of a heart trusting in what He has done for us!
