Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     There are many things that come into the path of the Soldier of the Cross.   
     And it takes dwelling in the word of God and regular prayer to distinguish the important from the unimportant.
     The Bible says in no uncertain terms that the way I am treated is never the issue. But try telling that to a woman whose husband is harsh or jealous. She has no hope of victory in the situation unless she has taken as beautiful, the Cross in her marriage.
     If she has sought the Cross in prayer and made decisions that reach far beyond a single relationship, she will have vision, and she will not give weight to the demeaning statements and rantings that a less mature woman would.
    What a protection there is in being hidden in the Cleft of the Rock!  He doesn't cast light, He is Light.
     When His way is more important than my physical years drawing domestic approval, I can see, I can sing, I can minister, and I can walk on the water.
     The issue is the Cross - the place where the flesh must die.
