Dear #31DayChallenge participants -
Today marks Day 7 in our #31DayChallenge journey, and the arrival of "Part 2 - God Is Always For You!" in your daily readings from Tasting the Goodness of God. I encourage each of you, at one point or another, to visit my website and make an entry with your thoughts about your 31 day journey at www.mckademarshall.com/31daychallenge-chat/. Your entry can be anonymous or you can include your name. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them on the chat board or in a private message.
As I read "Day 7 - Conquer" today, I was reminded of what prompted me to write this section about God truly being in my corner. There was a period in my life where I felt that God was no longer for me, but actually against me. It is a horrible feeling, and I would never wish this fear on anyone! However, as I began to seek God in His Word again I quickly discovered that not only was God not against me, but He desired for me to overwhelming and even quickly conquer things in this life that come against me. It took me months to realize how God truly was fighting my battles for me. As I began to realize this deep truth as a Christian, everything in my life began to change. I went from having a victim mentality, where someone or some dark force was always attacking or overtaking me, to having a victor mentality, where I was no longer alone but God stood beside me and before me defending and strengthening every area of my life.
For me, realizing I was "more than a conqueror through Christ" has been a life changer. It drew me out of months of struggle and frustration, into a place of faith and trust which ushered in victory over problems I hadn't had before.
During Part 2 of your reading I encourage you to truly seek God and understand that He really is fighting your battles for you, that He is 110% for you, and that He truly does want you to conquer and thrive in this life!
Favor and blessings are yours in Christ,
McKade Marshall
