Everyday, we can choose to let these obstacles upset us, or we can rest in the knowledge that God lovingly ordained them as small irritants to help us look to and rely on Him. For example, we can grumble about the frustrating traffic jam that is keeping us from getting somewhere on time, or we can remember that God knows about our deadlines and view the time sitting in traffic as an opportunity to pray. We can complain, or we can rejoice.

Of all the Israelites, perhaps no one strove harder to please God than Saul of Tarsus. Every area of his life conformed strictly to the Law. No one could accuse this respected Pharisee of lacking zeal. He was a man with a mission-a mission to please and serve God. From now on, he would no longer try to please God himself.

Instead, he would press on with the goal of knowing Christ. Saul now called Paul had a new mission-a mission that remained constant amid ever-changing circumstances. Paul now had one goal before which everything in his life bowed. Paul wanted to know his Lord.

How about you? Ask God to help you press on to know Him today. Living in a house without an automatic sprinkler system has been an eye-opening experience for me. It has made me realize just how often grass needs watered. As I watched the sprinkler the other day, it occurred to me that, much like grass, we continually need water.

We need watered each and every moment of our lives. Only as we continually draw from Christ His life and strength will we be able to grow strong amid the scorching heat and searing winds of life. Are you drawing from Christ, your Living Water, today? Or are you trying to live on your own? Let Him water your soul over and over again each day.
