2 Options....

Whenever we face a challenging situation, we have two options... we can turn tail and run OR we can face the challenge head on! If you want to accomplish great things in life, then how you face challenges matters! When we turn toward our challenges and face them head on, especially if we take God with us, we will make progress! But when we turn tail and run... NO progress is made!

So, when we face challenging situations, it's all a matter of where we look and what we do. Looking down and turning to run from the situation only makes it worse and keeps you from making forward progress. BUT when you take steps toward the challenge and take the Lord with you... LOOK OUT! Great things happen!

By the way, I learned that lesson from the Bible... I Samuel 16-18. When the young boy David is faced with a challenging giant, he turns to face him head on... taking the Lord with him and he defeats the challenge! For 40 days prior to that, Saul's army ran from the threats of Goliath and all it got them was more threats and humilation!
