EVER PRESENT HELP!

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

ARE YOU SEEKING?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

“It is just too much!”

“This deadline, this pressure, this adversity, this craziness, I can’t do it. I don’t know if I can make it.”

“I can’t hold on much longer!”

Yes you can! Don’t let go! Your refuge is right there!

Do you hear me?

It is right there!

Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Jeremiah 16:19

LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress...

All these challenges, all this pressure is to send you a message! Come back to GOD! Don’t go running away. Don’t entertain thoughts of “dealing with it”on your own.

2 Corinthians 7:10

Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets; end up on a deathbed of regrets.

There is purpose in the challenges!

Remember Pastor Josh’s message from a couple weeks back AHOPPER’S this stress, this pressure is a compliment.

James 1:2 (MSG)

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

So don’t cash out!

GOD promises that as long as we hold to our convictions under pressure and challenges, He will continue to do a good work in us. There is no wasted motion with GOD.

He started this; He wants you to trust Him to finish it!

Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who begana good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

So hold on! Lean on Jesus. He will hold you together!

Colossians 1:17

Christ was before all things. All things are held together by Him.

I love you all.

Have a blessed weekend.
