Standing in the Line of Fire


If we open ourselves up to the consequences of not living God's way, we shouldn't be surprised if enemy arrows pierce our lives. We've gotten out from the safety of God's covering.

No matter what your circumstances are, you can be sure that the Lord will be with you and help you successfully stand against whatever opposes you. When you walk with Him in the battle, you're never alone.

The hardest part about letting God fight your battle is that He sometimes waits until the eleventh hour so you will have no doubt of where the power is coming from. If that happens to you, hide yourself in Him and refuse to lose faith in His ability to come to your defense.

"Embracing the moment" is embracing God and finding Him in the moment. "Seeing what's right with this picture," on the other hand, is searching for the truth and seeing reality from
God's perspective. It's being willing to let go of our determination to see things through our own tunnel vision. See things from God's perspective and let Him show you the truth. That means finding the light in what seems to be a dark situation.

Often we pray for something and don't even recognize the answer to our own prayers when we receive it, because it does not happen the way we thought it would.

If your attitude is one of gratefully searching for God's truth and goodness in any situation, it will change your life. What we're really talking about here is an issue of trust. It's basically believing that God is good and He desires the best for you.
