July 2016 Day 5

JUST KEEP DRIVING!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 50-58

A lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm and the young lady asked her father, "what should I do?" He said, "keep driving." Cars began to pull over to the side as the storm was getting worse. "What should I do?" the young lady asked. "Keep driving" her father replied. A few feet away, she noticed that eighteen wheelers (big trailers and lorries) were also pulling over. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible, and everyone is pulling over." Her father told her: "Don't pull over! Don't give up; just keep driving!" Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles, she was again on dry land, and the sun came out. Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out." She said, "But why now?" He said: "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the storm. Because you never gave up, your storm is now over." This is a testimony for anyone who is going through "hard times." Just because everyone else, even the strongest, give up, you don't have to! As 2016 glides on, if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the sun will shine upon your face again. Always remember: Tough times don't last but tough people do! Tough people are not born. They are made when there is no one there to dry their tears! No matter what is going on, have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy. Hear Saint Augustine: "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." Note vs. 58 of today's scripture: "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding…" Note the word, "UNMOVABLE." It means unshakeable, unstoppable and never looking back. As 2016 draws to an end, keep driving and never stop. You will end up with a shout of victory. Amen and amen! Pray now! Use the "FAITH BOOSTERS" today! See page 34 now.
