A Daily Devotional About building the right kind
of alliance… John 16:33 "I have
told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will
have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (NIV) You might
think you walk the path of life alone. You might think you are the only person
who cares about what you face each day. Whether you live a solitary life or
whether your life is filled with daily interactions with others, you need to
build the right kinds of spiritual alliances. All persons walk a solitary path
through life. As we walk our solitary path we are engaged in a spiritual war
between the Light and the darkness. As we move through life, we too often
mistakenly give in to the darkness. Remarkably, we often give in to the darkness
when we are just inches away from being a victor for Christ. When you dedicate
yourself to living in alliance with Christ you experience victory. When you move
in God's direction, and move according to His will, there will be a great
outcome in your life. We may sometimes think there is no real outcome in being
allied with Christ. However, we must look at the life of those who do not know
Christ. In the life of those who do not know Christ there is inner turmoil,
torment, and emotional conflicts raging within the person every hour. When you
build your life around Christ and His love, for you there is peace…a wonderful
and glorious peace that passes all understanding on earth. |
