HARD
Today's reading: Malachi

"You say, It's too hard to serve the Lord, and you turn your noses up at his commands, says the Lord Almighty..." Malachi 1:13 NLT

Hard-difficult to bear or endure; difficult to accomplish or resolve; difficult to comprehend or explain.

This year is about to wrap up its 365 days.

It's within a day or so of writing the last few pages of the book entitles '2018'.

Your opportunities to make this year 'the best one ever' is coming to a close.

You are already thinking forward into 2019. What you want to see happen. What you want to change. What you want to begin doing for the first time, not just once, but as a new discipline.

Then you think about how hard it's going to be.

How hard it will be to quit what you want to quit.

To start what you want to start.

To stick with what it is you want to stick with.

Especially the things of the Lord.

Reading your Bible daily. Spending time in prayer, not just the emergency prayers, but actual prayer where you talk to God and stay on your knees long enough to hear Him speak to you. Witnessing to others. Attending church more frequently. Changing your speech, either from bad to better or from god to best.

You can do it with Him!

It is not too hard. It is not too big of a goal. It is not outside your abilities--with Him helping you!
