Day 188: Psalms 119:24 - 119:108

I just love the deep sense of reality that you get from reading this passage. There are alot of passages that discuss the all-time highs and the all time lows of the Christian walk, but it seems like this passage does a very good job of expressing the fact that although walking with God can definitely have it's speed-bumps, it will always beat the alternative. It's sad to see how many people are willing to turn to God and allow Him to take control of their lives only until things go wrong. I know most of the responsibility lies upon themselves for not having the resolve to hang on, but I think alot of the responsibility lies on believers who try to trick people into getting saved so that their lives will be more fun and easier. God never promised that life with Him would be a walk in the park. But He did promise us that He would always be there no matter how difficult that walk became. And that, my friends, is worth so much more than an easy walk straight off of a cliff.

- Lord, thank You for being with me in the good times and the bad times of life. It's easy to get the wrong idea and think that the Christian life is supposed to be full of gumdrops and lollypops, but the reality is that the Devil will come at us full force and You are the only one who can walk and fight right alongside us. -
