What does this mean to you when you hear this? To the Israelite people who for years were in slavery in Egypt it meant something better than what they had. They did reach the Promised Land with its hope of a better future.

What about for us? We are not necessarily going to walk to a new land and conquer giants in order to receive our inheritance or are we? Our Promised Land may not be a geographical piece of property and our giants may not be seven feet tall but none the less we will have to step forward to take what God has for us.

Our inheritance will take us overcoming and conquering fears and worries that have kept us bound for years. It will require us to overcome "giants" that have brought fear to our hearts. The Promised Land that the Lord has for us may appear to be different than that of the Israelistes, but the way attain it is the same. It is allowiing the Lord our God to lead and work on our behalf to see us overcome our "enemies."

Trust like never berfore. Be still and know that He is God!

I have been asked why "bad things happen" and the only answer that I can come up with that I am sure of is "I don't know." I cannot reason out why something happens. I am at the place of my life where I know that I may not be able to come up with the "why" but I do have control of "how" am I going to respond to a difficult situation. I look at every circumstance and situation as an opportunity to respond in a postive or negative way. i have an opportunity to make a difference. I have an opportunity to respond positively to perhaps a very negative circumstance. Yes "bad things happen" but I do not have be on the sidelines doing nothing about it.

I find it interesting that when there something we really want to do we find time to do it. We all have 24 hours in a day. We all have the ability to choose to do what we want for a majority of the 24 hours. We do not need more time to accomplish things in our lives we just need to prioritize them better. God wants us to fulfill the destiny He has for us. The only way we can do that is to prioritize and chooose what is important rather than allowing distractions to take us away from what He desires for us. Start today and see how much you can get done!
