Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

   The Lord deals with us in seasons.
     Sometimes there are seasons of sickness, heartache, poverty and 
misunderstanding.
     That is just the way it is.
     He never intended that you should have a life of earthly bliss.  He is preparing
you for heaven, and that is where you will experience unending delight.
     Not here.
     Here, your delight has to be in things above.  Your delight has to be in Him.
It can't be in your husband, your children, your home or your job.  It can't be in
anything that is not going to last for all eternity.
     Yes, your family is comprised of people who are eternal beings.  But the
relationship you have with them now will not be the same in eternity.
     Soldier of the Cross, you must live in God's economy.
     There is simply no other way to live.
