Turn Around
Standing at the edge of the dark valley, he stares out into the darkness. A low voice in his ear warning him not to go causes him to pause.

So, how do I keep my faith strong? I lay aside all those things that can bring me down and pull me away from God, and I look to Jesus.
When we look at the world around us, God is working. And when it doesn’t seem like an end to a problem is anywhere in sight or the burden will never lighten, remember, God isn’t done.
The thirst that we have can only be quenched with a relationship with Jesus.
My grandmother believed with her whole heart that Jesus died for her sins and that this life was temporary. And that one day, He would wipe away her tears, and there would be no more pain.
But I didn’t expect a snake to be on our porch when we were moving all around in that area and making all of this loud noise. It’s the same with the devil. He attacks us in places and times that we least expect it.
Dense clouds filled the sky concealing the light from the moon and the stars, but since I always follow that same path to my car, I didn’t think much of the darkness or even bother using the flashlight on my phone.
I often think the devil distracts us with things in our past to keep us from moving forward. If we aren’t moving forward, we can’t accomplish the goals God has set for us. In a sense, we become paralyzed and never get outside that box.
Let us feel the comfort and security of God’s promises. And let us be ready when He comes to take us home.
When we believe in Jesus and accept God’s gift of salvation, God marks us with His seal, the Holy Spirit. We belong to Him.
