Holiness Today

In February, I had the opportunity to attend the M11 conference for the Nazarene Church.  It was a really great conference!  I was able to meet many influential and amazing people, and was introduced to opportunities and information that I KNOW God will use in my future :)

During the conference, we received a packet of informative tools; one of which was a copy of Holiness Today Magazine (January/February edition).  I am only just now getting around to reading this... It had previously taken a bottom-stack position in my pile of papers to sort through.  The sorting through was accomplished tonight, and thus I am writing you now to share some words of wisdom that I have received!

There is an article from the Editor in Chief, David J. Felter.
He says these words...

We need not fear the challenge of the future if

we are annointed by the Spirit in the present.

WOAH.  I love this.

Not that it is rocket science.  But we do so easily get wrapped up in the worries of the future that we often fail to remember that God has things under control, and that anything is possible through His strength!  I especially needed to hear these words right now, as I try to wait patiently for God's direction in my life.  My mind often wanders off into the future... how things might play out, what obstacles I might face... I know that there are many challenges ahead.  But... how exciting!!! To be part of God's plan :)  I should see those challenges as opportunities to glorify God; I should not see them as probabilities of failure or difficulty.
