what i've learned along the way
recognizing victory in others . . .
Published on April 12, 2004 By lobsterhunter In Misc
Why is it that we can always see God's miracles in the lives of others, but recognizing His faithfulness in our own lives proves difficult?

Tonight I heard the testimony of so many people who have experienced God's guidance during trying situations. There stories encouraged me,and reminded me I have a Savior who longs to control my chaotic life. Finding peace in the midst of a storm seems abstract and unattainable, although I have readily seen this quality fleshed out in the lives of others. Tonight, I'm facing some big changes. Life is in session, and I have some decisions to make. It's easy to sink into the spiral of self-doubt, but I choose to believe TRUTH! I want to smile while the waves crash around me. Unfortuntely, I have an enemy who desires nothing more than complete destruction of God's child. Satan is ruthless, and there are no rules to his game. Therefore, I must put on my armor, and ask God to fight this one for me. On my own, I'm toast. Oh how I long for this to become a reality of the heart, rather than an intellectual rambling. If you have any concrete methods for connecting those 18 inches, pass it on!

Don't worry, I have all the answers!

But I won't give them, because they haven't worked for me. I'll pray for you, and if I ever find an answer that works, I'll be sure to pass it on.
