Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

Many try to live by interpreting the signs.

If things work well, it is the Lord's blessing. If things fall through, it was the wrong decision.

Our God does not work this way. He reveals Himself in our weakness, and He is often experienced most richly in the fiery trial.

Remember so many whose live have bless ours - John and Betty Stam who were beheaded. The five missionaries who were killed by the Aucas. Peter, who was crucified upside down. Should I list more?

We are to be living sacrifices. This means He must be allowed to do anything with our lives that will glorify Him. Anything.

For the Soldier of The Cross, success is obeying the Lord. There is no earthly way to measure heavenly success.

You see the Lord or you don't.
You serve Him or you don't.
You yield to Him or you don't.

He has never hidden from a follower, and He has never played with any life.

Through thick or thin, trust Him He is able to lead, and He will lead with the fire and the cloud.
