The Lord makes a unique plan for you each and every day. The plan is set up to keep you safe; moment by moment, step by step, as you wind your way through a broken, fallen world; full of chaos, temptation, and evil.
Because of the fallen nature of the world we live in; expect troubles during the day; they cannot be avoided.
But, in the midst of it all, the Lord’s plan for you; and the path He has laid out for you, is perfectly set up to get you through the day. All you need to do is stay focused on Him, trust in Him, and follow Him.
Psalm 18:30–God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
Just stay focused on Him, remembering that He is right beside you, ready to help. Just a little thought of His name alerts Him and He will spring into action.
How many of you remember Nik Wallenda’s tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon last year? That was a great example of how to focus on the Lord in a stressful situation; to say the least. It is also a great testament to Nik’s faith and trust in the Lord…And He made it clear to the world who was responsible for his exciting accomplishment. He was thanking and trusting the Lord literally every step of the way! And if you watch the video, notice that Nik is not shy about verbally voicing his trust in the Lord, in fact he is bold in front of the whole world about his love for God. As we should be.
Here is the link to the You Tube video of his crossing:

The Holy Spirit will guide you through the myriad of choices you must make each day…His help in making the right choices will enable you to endure the trials, stresses and strains that inevitably crop up up on your journey.
The world can be a dreary, troublesome place…So stay focused on the Lord, who is in a heavenly place, and He will protect you, give you His strength and courage, and lift you up as you call His name.
As He lifts you up, He is enveloping you with His light, and surrounding you with His peace and joy in the midst of the storm.
Isaiah 40:10–Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
My Prayer for this Day:
Lord, thank You for the encouragement you give me through the examples and fellowship of other believers. Lord, I see that you are always here, ready to give strength to the weak, and lead them step by step, moment by moment, through the trials and difficulties of the day. Lord, I ask your spirit to calm my mind and help me focus on you, as we journey through the day together.
