There are two things we are guaranteed in this physical life and these same two things are so neglected in life and death. It is so easy to just go through life neglecting what we have been given and especially when we become so wrapped up in our surroundings. Why is it we don’t miss something until it is lost? It is sad but true how we so often neglect the life we have until it is taken away.
It is imperative in this physical life to understand its purpose in order to understand the next eternal life through Jesus Christ. Our daily walk is a gift in everything we are given and even our struggles are blessings when we learn to look at them as growing experiences because the Lord teaches us that “He disciplines those which He loves.”
We all have our own individual struggles or as Paul say’s a thorn in our side. When we face these times look at them to find the answers in which you need to overcome where you have been to insure you never fall to them again. Whoever said life was easy? In our human nature we want everything to come so easily but we must remember the appreciation in what we have when we gain something that we work for.
The Lord plainly tells us to take life one day at a time for there are enough worries in the day than to worry about tomorrow. So when you look at your trials take them one day at a time minute by minute and search for the answers in prayer by learning to trust in the Lord that He will bring you through because He cares. Be wise in your steps while applying His instruction to give you the direction and strength in which you need to succeed.
I challenge you today and every other day to enjoy it as if it were your last while doing the best you can in everything you do to reflect the love of Jesus within you.

Mark,
You are absolutely correct! God is already doing a great work in America. It is hard to even explain what is going on in my church and even in my own life!! God is moving in miraculous ways. It just comes down to the fact of whether or not you have faith in the power of the Lord. I fear that those who do not have faith will not be able to understand or even see God's great power in action. May God bless you.
We have got to let Jesus be shown through our lives and how we live so that we can make a difference in the people around us each day. I truly believe that God is about to do a mighty work in America if we just believe and do the work He has put us here to do.
