The Challenge

This evening, Evie and I went to the Falls to eat dinner and watch the sun set. We also had our devotions and prayed together. Our devotions was entitled, "The Challenge" and we both felt someone had written it specifically for the two of us and our lives the past 7 months! Hope you enjoy it as well!

THE CHALLENGE

It may be true, dear God that my husband
and I had more to live on a year ago
than we have today.
But it is equally true that we have just
as much to life for.
The real values of our lives remain
solid, stable, unshifting.
Our financial loss has in no way diminished
the value of a single friendship.
We have lost nothing of human dignity
and we are discovering spiritual realities
full of wonder and sheet delight.
Our faith in Your loving-kindness adds
growing serenity to our guided lives.
You are making us increasingly aware
that what we are is vastly more vital
than our fondest possessions.
Above all, You are teaching us that a
limited salary is our shining challenge to
trust and exalt our limitless God!

"So don't worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. Why be like the pagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern." Matthew 6:31-33 NLT
