"Personalize
that promise. Put your name in the blanks."
Max Lucado
Chapter 1 - Glory Days, page 11
I
opened this book and began reading Chapter 1 entitled Glory Days. Something
inside of me started rise as my eyes filled with tears until the last word of
this chapter. I compared my life with the bondage in Egypt, the wandering
in the wilderness, and reaching the Promised Land Life in Canaan.
As it is said many times, “the
struggle is real,” the struggle is different for every person yet similar in
some instances. I came to realize before going on to Chapter 2, Inherit Your
Inheritance, I have arrived in Canaan without knowing I had finally came out of
the wilderness.
What did it for me? The end of
Chapter 1 and the short exercise to place your name in the blanks: And the Lord gave unto Edythe all the land
which he sware to give unto their fathers: and Edythe possessed it, and dwelt
therein.
And the
Lord gave Edythe rest round about, according to all the sware unto their
fathers: and there stood not a man of her enemies before her; the Lord
delivered all her enemies into her hand.There failed not ought of any good
thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house Edythe; all came to pass.(Joshua
21:43-45)
I noticed that at the end of each
chapter there was sentence that relayed a message. I began writing down the
last sentence of every chapter and re-read them.
1) Ready to march? 2) Get ready
to cross Jordan
3) Whenever I wander too far from
my Master’s voice, my life is ruff, ruff, ruff, 4) We will all know “Amazing
Grace” by heart, 5) Yours will too,
6) Then, and only then, will you
be ready to face Jericho, 7) Let Him be
your strength,
8) It’s just a matter of time
before your Jericho comes down, 9) He will catch you every single time,
10) You may have missed a goal,
but you’re still part of God’s team, 11) It was built for people like us, 12)
And bring extra sunscreen, because the day of victory will last long into the
night,
13) You be you, 14) You are a
Promised Land person,
15) And I choose faith, 16) These
days are Glory Days
Is just me? Or do you see a
message too?
I recommend this book to all for
enlightenment to the glory days and help with crossing your Jordan. There are excellent
Bible references used as guidelines for this inspirational book. I truly
enjoyed reading and performing the exercise.
I received this book from Thomas
Nelson Publishers through the Litfuse Reviewer Program, in exchange for an
