We all go through things! Good and bad things!  A couple of dear friends come to mind. One is struggling with cancer, the other friend has had sick children that have kept him from work recently.  All of our circumstances are different, but all are difficult!

My friend with cancer has young children to take care of. As she struggles with that task, she feeds them spiritual food constantly. Her highest priority is keeping trust in God and declaring is soveriegn grace to all who will hear.

My other friend has had first one of his kids sick and then the other for most of the school year.  I can see it taking a toll on his resolve when he talks about it. He told me he had not realized all his wife had done for years as a stay at home mom.

We all have struggles and limitations!  My own husband is struggling with his work of late.  He is exhausted with the struggles. I tell him to look up and to keep his focus on God. However, I  understand that  is not easy to do when you want to just quit!

Life is hard but God is tougher and life will not take you down if you keep your eyes on Him!  Look up not down! He is carrying you when you can’t take the next step!  You can make it.

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high call of God in Jesus Christ”  Phill 3:14 NKJV
