Life’s Challenges
DAILY WORD - Dec.28.2018 ➖Pastor Sheliah
➖ “Consider it a sheer gift … when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors...
“So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” (James1:2-4 MSG).
I’m so grateful for those who have challenged me to reach beyond my comfort zone. To believe the unbelievable! To do the “un-do-able”! To expect and experience the miraculous!
Perhaps I make others “uncomfortable” at times – but, one thing I know – I don’t want to ever leave you “where you are” because the more I know of God, the more I know that I don’t yet know. I am in pursuit of all that He has for me, and nothing pleases me more than to provoke others in their pursuit of an inexhaustible loving Father, “Poppa,” whose outrageous grace and mercy overwhelm us.
Life is an adventure and we are on a “treasure hunt” with God revealing fresh evidence of those things hidden from the wise and revealed to the simple – as we discover MORE of Him and ALL that He has for us to enjoy. Great Treasures! Great Riches that are ours in Christ Jesus!
✔️ “Proclaim the Message with intensity; keep on your watch. Challenge, warn, and urge your people. Don’t ever quit. Just keep it simple” (2Timothy.4:2).
I challenge you to come with me on this journey! We are living in the most exciting and prophetic times ever seen by mankind in this earth!
“Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life!” (James.1:12).
What a great Challenge we have before us! What an exciting and outrageous life!!! ~ Shelia Hart Artt
