You are on a spiritual journey of life. You may be a new Believer just starting your journey, or you may be a seasoned traveler nearing the end of your time here on earth. Regardless of where you are along the road of life, like Israel, you have not passed this way before (Joshua 3:4). Also, like Israel, you will encounter many challenges along the road to your destiny. There will be spiritual detours, dead ends, lonely valleys, and harsh deserts along the way. This devotional guide is written for those traversing the difficult paths of life. It is designed to bring encouragement from God’s Word. It is not to disseminate information, but to effect transformation in your life through revelation from the Word. Revelation without transformation results in stagnation. This guide is written by a fellow-traveler who is no stranger to adversity. Following this introduction you can read details of my difficult journey at the time this book was birthed. During this season of adversity, God gave me special words. Not a theological discourse. Not an extended study. Just single words of encouragement to which I could cling or words of correction which I needed. Like the prophet Isaiah, every morning I waited for new words from God (Isaiah 50:4). This book contains some of these special words which I now share with you. Sometimes we don’t know what to say in the face of life’s challenges, so God tells us exactly how to provide comfort: “Therefore, comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18). What words? The words of God. The psalmist declared: “This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction: that Your word has revived me and given me life” (Psalm 119:50). Deuteronomy 8:3 declares: “… man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.” Proverbs 16:24 confirms that “pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body” and Proverbs 15:23 states: “…a word spoken in due season, how good is it!”

As an altar worker, you serve as a counselor to those who respond to the altar call made by the minister. You are working with the minister to "reap" the spiritual fruit of men, women, and children, who have received and acted upon the Word of God.
This study is based on the Holy Bible, the written Word of the one true God, which reveals that all of creation has been called to worship. The angels (Hebrews1:6); the nations (Psalm 86:9); the elements (Psalm 96:11); and God’s people (Psalm 67:3).
This course will teach you how to study God's Word for yourself. You will not have to rely on the research of others because you will be able to create your own Bible studies based on your study of God's written Word, fully trusting in His Word.
