Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     As believers, we stand before the Lord and obey no matter what!  
     Do you have an exceptionally difficult marriage?
     Are you being criticized for not giving in, just a little?
     Is the enemy pounding on you, and does it sound and feel like your own
thoughts?
     Soldier, we are so protected.
     We have been told not to go by sight.  That means not to operate according to
the circumstances.  So much of the time the things that whirl around us are opposite
of the way we think they should be.
      But the One Who holds it all in the palm of His Hand knows all about it, and He
is the same one who raised Lazarus from the dead, and after the body had begun to
rot.  Yet, He wasn't late, was He!
      This situation is not too much for Him, and those voices are not from the 
Kingdom of Light.
     Stay the course.  If Jesus were to come for us in fifteen minutes, we would be 
ashamed to be found constantly in a chase for the answer, when all the while we 
have been holding the key.
      The Key is faith - the resting of each activity and thought and use of each 
faculty according to what He has said rather than according to the way things "are".
      He works in one dimension, we live in another.  That is why we must let go and
yield to the Plan of the One who holds under us the Everlasting Arms.
