‘God’s Presence Can Sustain You’

No matter what is going on in your world, God is with you.

In his book Hope in the Dark: Believing God Is Good When Life Is Not, Craig Groeschel writes, ‘In your most desperate moments, God’s presence can sustain you. Just as resistance in the gym makes your muscles grow stronger, resistance in life strengthens your faith in God. Over time, as you grow in the grace of God, what normally would have rocked your world becomes something you can take in stride, knowing God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When God is for you, you can handle anything. You can face your life. You can face your fears.

When the road ahead is dark, foggy, God is with you. When you do not know what to do, when you are confused, God will answer you.

‘… God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When things are not working for you, God is working for you.

Yes, it is hard to believe in God when things are hard. But if you can ‘take your next step by faith’, if you can follow God, He will never let you down.

‘… if God makes you a promise, it will happen.’

What are you doing to receive it? According to Craig Groeschel, When God says something to you, record it, because your spiritual enemy is an expert at stealing the seeds of truth that God wants to plant.’

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles

“A journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step. if you look ahead to the end, and all the weary miles between, with all the dangers you might face, you might never take that first step. And whatever it is you want to achieve in your life, if you don’t make the effort. You won’t reach your goal. So take the first step.”- Sir Richard Branson

When it comes to success, the first step is very important. If you have the courage to take the first step, success is yours. The first step is always scary to take. But if you can take it, you can win. Don’t let it stop you from going after your dreams. People don’t take the first step because they don’t want to fail. They don’t want to fall. They don’t want to fail. They don’t want to look stupid. They don’t want to look weak. People don’t take the first step because they don’t want other people to blame them.

It doesn’t matter what you want to achieve in your life. To achieve it, you must take the first step. The baby step. The scary step. The weak step. You must take it to grow yourself. It is scary, but you can do it. You can change yourself. You can transform yourself, your life. So just take the first step. And you will succeed.
