Keep On Going
(Matthew 26:39) Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

We will encounter challenges in our lives as long as we have breath in our bodies. Some of the challenges will be milder than others. Whether light or heavy, they all can be beneficial to strengthening our spiritual endurance. There will be times when we will rise above and overcome our challenges, and there will be times when we just won’t win. Though exhausted, weary, and worn - we must keep going on with our lives. Even in the toughest times -foreclosure, illness, dissolved relationships, unemployment, etc. - we do not have the right to claim these things as justified excuses to exempt ourselves from the purpose we serve in God's Kingdom plan. God holds our lives in His hand, and they continue on with new and greater challenges and opportunities headed our way. There are lessons to gain from the pains of life. When the pains happen - don't stop there. Keep on going. There are still plenty of roads to travel. Go get your blessings!
