Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Paul.

For some, the Christian life has been reduced to a one day a week church service experience,

and yet God, in His Word, teaches us that we are to walk with Him daily.

Today we look to God's Word to discover simple Bible principles that will help us as we live the daily Christian life. Do you have any problems? I mean, anything at all right now that is really a battle for you, we all have them. There are many

daily blessings in the Christian life, but there are also daily battles. One of the interesting

things that I've discovered in my own Christian journey is that much of the blessing comes through

the battles. In other words, it's near the front lines, it's in the

heat of war where the victory is seen and where God is revealed. It's not always after the battles

and after the struggles. It's in the midst of them that the Lord shows up. And yet, let's be honest,

when we're in the middle of those problems, we don't like them. And yet it is the way that

God works in us and through us and for us. First Peter chapter four, verses 12 and 13 say,

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some

strange thing happen unto you, but rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of

Christ sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Don't think this is a strange thing. No, look, Satan, the adversary of God and the accuser of the

brethren, he constantly stands against the Lord and the Lord's people.

He attacked Job. He stood against David in 1 Chronicles 21.

He raised his head against Joshua the high priest and Zachariah 3.

He sought to stop Daniel's prayer from being answered in Daniel 10.

And then he even came against the perfect man,

the Lord Jesus Christ, the very son of God. Do you really think you'll be the exception? No,

there are spiritual battles. There are daily battles. But hear these words, but rejoice.
