Faith Filled Family Magazine August 2016 | Page 6

Our August issue is entitled, “The Road to Victory in Hard Times”. Publisher’s Letter We chose this topic in anticipation that this topic would encourage someone who is going through a difficult time that they are not alone. It is through trials and temptations, often, that our character is refined. In the midst of it, we have three choices: give up and forfeit our victory, re-evalute as to whether we are where we should be and what the blockage to victory is, or stand in faith waiting for the manifestation. The road is never easy, and at times can be downright challenging to our faith! However, we need to know that if we hold on, perservere, and dig into God for strength, we will receive victory in one form or another. This issue attempts to address difficult situations and address issues that aren’t as clear-cut as we may have hoped. We tackle the issue of a spouse leaving and whether reconciliation is possible. We also discuss how to know when God has something greater planned. We discuss financial woes and whether they are self-inflicted or blockages. We also discuss how to know the difference. We give parents hope with the wayward child, the addict, and dealing with rebellion. We also encourage and refresh you (as being a parent isn’t easy!) with tips on maintaining peace, strength, and wisdom in overcoming every situation. As always, we will turn you back to scripture, and strengthen your walk with God. All of these topics are designed for each Christian to attain freedom from things that are binding us from walking in victory and stealing our joy. Know that you are never alonethat no matter what God will always be with you. He loves you more than you know, and will guide you down the right path. All you need to do is ask, seek, and pray. He is faithful to answer always if we just listen. He holds the keys and the knowledge over every situation. Be blessed always, our overcomers! Victory can be just a prayer, just a moment, just a second away from your grasp. Hold on to your faith, and never let go. Sorrow only lasts for a moment- it is just a blip in time, but joy will come in the morning. Walk in victory, my brothers and sisters in Christ! _________________________ Michelle Danko is the founder and publisher of Faith Filled Family Magazine.
