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?
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.
I have got some folks who are dear to me facing some pretty rough stuff today.
They include some long-running consequences that won’t seem to let go; some unforeseen news, a report that included the “C” word; tough things, unsettling things, crippling things. It’s the kind of “stuff” we really don’t have a “good word”, a quick fix or a soothing serum.
We just don’t.
But GOD does.
Lamentations 3:25
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
Though things may be troubling, stormy and unsettling around us, the truth of Jesus, the promise of Jesus, the FAITHFULNESS of Jesus and the grace of Jesus can be counted on to see us through.
2 Corinthians 4:16
So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.
Not a day goes by where HE is not right there with us, holding us steady, understanding our pain, offering His solace and keeping His promise.
Joshua 1:5
No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
No one will stand.
No consequence will be too great. No sickness too powerful. No news too numbing to cause GOD to be shaken or shuddered.
It is this hope we grab when life gets difficult. It is this hope that protects and ANCHORS us to the TRUTH that is HIS grace.
Hebrews 6:19
This hope is a safe anchor for our souls. It will never move.
It is the hope I offer to you and my friends today.
It is the right word for the “wrong times” in life.
Have a blessed day.
