Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Have you forgotten you have help?
     We were not designed to slug it out alone.  We were created to live and breathe
and have out being in Him.
     Nowhere else.
     Removal of that thorn in your flesh is not the answer.  Bending your will and 
seeking the Lord in the area of submission is the answer.
     Are you stubborn?  It is a terrible thing.  And when it comes to things of the Lord
it is like rebellion.  Have you bucked those in authority?  Is there a secret lust?
Have you cherished a harbored grudge?
     These things become strongholds when there is the soil of stubbornness.
     It is not hard to change.  Why is that?
     Because all you have to do is submit, and the Lord will bring the deep, deep
conversion one minute at a time.
     That is how we are all transformed.  When He comes for us, we will be changed 
"in a twinkling of an eye. . ." but right now it is one minute at a time.
     It is no harder now than when you were five.
     The difference?
     Submission.
     Stop being an emotion sail, picking up on every real or imagined wind, and
submit to the One Who has been waiting all the time.
