God gives us a new set of grace every 24 hours and gives us an anointing to go through. If you scheduled an Amtrak excursion on the “Empire Builder” from Spokane WA which travels through mountains and long tunnels you wouldn’t tell the train conductor to stop the train before the tunnel because you are afraid of going through and what you may run into on the other side. Your eyes and heart would be lit up with excitement for what would be coming next. – Book of Proverbs – Proverbs For The Modern Day – Look Forward – Move Forward – Press Forward. Check out my website
This is the same way we must handle life daily. We must jump in with both feet and know that God will carry us safely through to the other side. We cannot cringe in fear or stop living our lives that isn’t the life that Jesus died for us to have. “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10.

We all have days when the pain is so real that we feel like we cannot breathe. We don’t want to get out of bed. It feels like we cannot talk to anyone and so we shut out the world. Whether it be the loss of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job, a friend walked out on you, someone double-crosses you, you don’t know where your next dollar is coming from to eat. Remember God is with you always. Remember what God said, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41:10
