TODAY’S MESSAGE: The journey we have chosen to take is one that has many obstacles. There are many who do not want to go down this road because it is one of great difficulty. However, there is great reward at the end. Many feel as though it is like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In some ways it is much like that. The exception is that there is a great reward at the end of this trip. There is a reward that is much greater than a pot of gold. It is much greater than a million dollars or even becoming the most powerful person in the whole world. It is well worth the trip. God has given us the tools to make this journey. He has given us faith, trust, the Holy Spirit and prayer. Without these gifts from God, we could not successfully make this trip. What lies ahead of us are obstacles that cannot be overcome without spiritual help. They cannot be defeated by us alone because these deterrents of from the devil himself. We must pray and listen carefully to the Holy Spirit. When we confront the lies of this world, we must pray for what to do. When we are confronted by ridicule, persecution and sometimes even death, we must pray to the Lord for direction, strong faith and a trust that cannot be overcome. You see, the strongest obstacle we must destroy is the evil of the devil. He is the one who wants to see us in hell and not in heaven. The reward at the end of this journey is our eternal home with Jesus. It is full of more gold than we can imagine. It is full of more love than we can imagine. It is full of many riches that Jesus has gained for those who finish. The journey is hard, and it becomes more difficult at each step we take. But stay the course, pray and listen, it is well worth journey. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
