Where do we go from here?

When we've had a powerful experience, or when we've climbed to the top of a mountain and experienced the beauty of the great heights, we are tempted to ask ourselves… WHAT NEXT? Where do I go from here… and what is life going to be like back down in the valley?

I've been in this situation many times… however God has been teaching me over the years, and even more specifically in recent times… it's not about being HIGH in the LORD all the time. It's about abiding and being consistent… even when the feelings come and go. The quote below says it perfectly!

"It is not a conclusive evidence that a man is a Christian because he manifests spiritual ecstasy under extraordinary circumstances. Holiness is not rapture: it is an entire surrender of the will to God; it is living by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God; it is doing the will of our heavenly Father; it is trusting God in trial, in darkness as well as in the light; it is walking by faith and not by sight; it is relying on God with unquestioning confidence, and resting in His love." Christian Service, p. 235

So as another ARME Bible Camp is coming to a close, I will seek to walk forward by faith, trusting the Lord in the darkness as well as in the light, and I will seek to abide in Him, no matter what lies ahead. 

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Phil. 1:6

Praise the Lord, He will finish the Work in us!!!

Review: 

  • Bible Thought: Forward, one step at a time!
  • Blessing: Once again, God has blessed above and beyond our expectations!
  • Battles: Now, we keep walking forward, looking to that day when we will be taken HOME to be forever with Him in Heaven!
