Losing our Way

 It doesn't take much to lose our way.   Perhaps your life feels a drift ;  turned topsy-turvy in the churning, competing undercurrents , my wants, money, church, work, faith, sex, prayer, power, selfishness, just a swirling mess.
                                     In all that noise how do we get back on course?
 Before you begin – know this – you're not alone.
 The men and women of the Bible were also helpless and mixed with emotions. Lots of times, they were deep in the weeds doing their own thing. So if that's you, you're in good company. But remember – those same men and women also got things back on track, and  developed such a rock hard faith that they would stay strong in the face of persecution, would single handedly fight giants, could fearlessly face down armies and perform impossible miracles.
 This is where we are meant to be living every minute of the day. If you're feeling a long,long way from that  kind of actualized, trusting faith, find your way back.

Psalm 73:26 "my flesh and my heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Romans 3:23 " for all have send and fall short of the glory of God."

1Peter 5:8  " be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
