Dear Ones,
Let us live resolutely to go God’s way today. We had time with our grandson for a couple hours yesterday as he was on his way back to the cities. We have Bible Study today and I also plan to do more baking and writing.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
Many people only pray to the Lord when they are in dire circumstances and can’t figure out a way to get out. If that is the only time they call on the Lord, then they are missing the wonderful promises of God’s protection, His strength in adversity and having a fruitful life. Jesus never forces us, but each of us must make a choice if we are going to remain in Him or go our own way. Perhaps you have seen the picture of a wide crowded road with many people walking on it. Then there is a narrow road that veers off to the right and only a few choose to go that way even though it is the way to everlasting life. Each one on the road of life makes the decision of which way they will take.

There are only two roads or kingdoms, and it is often hard to leave the wide road when our friends and family choose not to walk with us. But they are two different worlds. One is our own little kingdom under our control but with eternal consequences, and the other kingdom is under the Lord’s control and has everlasting blessings. We choose!

I wonder if we really know how poor and blind we are without Christ. The enemy lies to us and does not speak truth about our pitiful condition. We all need rescuing and a safe place of love. It is good to learn some scripture verses to refute the accusations of the enemy’s lies and stand firm in the Lord. I daily also pray to put on the Armor of God (Ephesians 6) to stand against Satan’s attacks. Let us make a decisive choice to go down the narrow road to life with Jesus and invite others to walk with us.

Challenge for today: Daily ask the Lord to help you be resolute to follow Him and go His way.
Blessings on your day and prayers and love, Judy
