1Corinthians 10 is a reminder of how we, and people of the past, often feel trapped by the world around us as we search for an escape.

These days I have been amazed at how lifes challenges continue to bombard me through busy schedules, negative students, hot days, limited electricity, but God's Word and words of hope still manage to get through to me.

Escape is impossible on our own, but through Christ anything is possible. During this Lenten season remember to look not at the challenges from friends, work, busyness, family members, but to look further down the road at the Resurrection promises that wait for us.

Lifes challenges will never end, and neither will God's promises of protection and hope in eternity with him. If we can find that balance between doing our work and other tasks before us and trusting that God has control of everything, then we can hear his music to guide our dance steps even in the midst of a storm.

May His music always be stronger than Satan's lies and confusing myths. Let us find a way to dance to the cross together!
