Day 63
There is a prevalent idea that the power of God in a human life
should lift us above all trials and conflicts.
The fact is,
the power of God always brings a conflict and a struggle.
God has nothing worth having that is easy.
There are no cheap goods in the heavenly market.
Our redemption cost all that God had to give,
and everything worth having is expensive.
Hard places are the very school of faith and character,
and if we are to rise over mere human strength
and prove the power of life divine in these mortal bodies,
it must be through a process of conflict
that may well be called the birth travail of a new life.
-Streams In The Desert
Lord, You never promised life would be easy but it will be worth it!
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus!
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ.
One glimpse of His dear face, all sorrow will erase.
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
-Esther K. Rusthoi
