“Life isn’t always a walk in the park, but you have the King of Glory walking beside you!”

By Misty Strieff Prine

“I know I’m on the right path because things stopped being easy.” Unknown

When life gets hard, you know you’re headed in the right direction. Stepping out of your comfort zone always puts you on the right path verses staying where everything is smooth sailing. Think about your walk with Jesus for a second. When you’re living for Jesus, the enemy all but beats you down doesn’t he? This is because you are making progress and going out of your comfort zone to live for Jesus in a way that others can see that you are willing to step out in faith regardless of the consequences.

So, if you are having a tough go of things right now, rest assured you are going the way you need to go. Pray for the Lord to give you a sense of direction. Life is not a walk in the park. If that was the case, everyone would be going the same direction. What’s the fun in that? Pray for wisdom and discernment to choose wisely and follow God’s plan for your life, not the world’s way. God will never lead you astray. Never. The world-every chance it gets. Be strong, soldier. God ALWAYS has your back!!
