Without God our challenges in life can be frightening, but with God our challenges can be a great adventure because we never know where He will take us next. Every day we face tough situations, difficult people, and even temptations which come from Satan in trying to get us to act in our flesh and knock us off coarse. It is easy to get sidetracked in our emotions and forget how God is the one who moves the mountains that we face.
