When I read the Word, there are no gray areas. It’s full of absolutes and non-negotiables. And I made a decision long ago with my wife that as for us and our family, we would live in the place of no compromise, non-negotiables, and absolutes. And I’m telling you, over the years it has been our safety net. It’s been our guard. Because even when we were weak in some areas, because of our habit of commitment, God’s glory was our rearguard! He undergirds you! And He says in Micah 7:8 that when you fall, you shall arise! And even when you’re in darkness, the Lord is your light! So no matter what way you find yourself coming into this day, decide you’re going to be going out of this day a different way because you put your faith in God! You might say, “I’ve done that for years.” Well, think about what you’ve backed up! Think about the reservoir of strength that you have built into yourself. You might say, “I don’t feel very strong.” I’m telling you, you keep doing what you know to do, regardless of the length of time, and at the time it’s supposed to happen, God will flick a switch, and all of that which you thought would never happen will begin to absolutely and miraculously manifest because of your willingness and obedience to go the extra mile when nobody else wanted to go even a step! There’s more ahead of you than there ever was behind you!! And it doesn’t matter how many false starts or how many disappointments and discouragements, God has seen it all! And I’m telling you, we are embarking upon A WHOLE NEW SEASON in the Name of Jesus Christ! “Behold, I will do a NEW thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” -- Isa 43:19
