Thought for the day

"It is easy to take a short walk with Jesus. After all your first exposure to the supernatural is exciting as you experience the power of Almighty God running through your body and mind. But not many choose the long walk where you get to see the long term goal for your life - the broader picture.

• The long walk reveals to you a better view of how God works among His people. The long walk requires faith, as your witness to the miraculous.
• The long walk makes you wise and trusting of Almighty God.
• The long walk trusts the outcome to the hands of the creator.
• The long walk doesn't need for everything to go your way, it doesn't need constant proof that God can and is doing mighty exploits.
• The long walk trusts God as God and is secure in being a child of God, trusting the Father, despite the outcome, despite the circumstances.

The outcome of your faith must be, NOT MY WILL, BUT THY WILL, OH GOD.
