Day 22 - Stay alert
Scripture focus: Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does. 1 Peter 5:8-11 (The Message)
"I have learnt from you that it's the little daily, 'domestic' habits and things that matter and in that respect I have to agree with the Beatles that 'it's getting better all the time' even though I do know that in many ways it has to get worse before it gets better. Please pray that I can keep turning up even when the flak starts to fly. Seriously, I know my life depends on my ability to keep turning up so please pray that for me if you get a moment."
"P.S. God has given me a real compassion for people like me and a vision for a Grand Epic Adventure. However, I agree with you in that it's what you do that matters, not what you promise or intend, so I won't share it with you now, but I will hopefully, God willing, show you one day."
Now that's a good story.
Tune in for the sequel tomorrow....
