Good morning! How are we faithing? You know, we wrestle with things daily that seem so huge but in 6 months they are forgotten. Were they actually huge or not? Were they blips on the radar of our life and because we looked at it, fondled it instead of looking to Jesus they momentarily were big things? Looking back on many things we hopefully see the folly of our despair and learn not to waste energy on such things again. I know people that see everything as a huge disaster aimed at them by everyone involved. Woe is me is the cry. I am not diminishing anyone's pain but focusing on it and not trying to rise above it helps nobody. Yes there are huge things that come are way but all things are not huge but we sure can inflate them to be. Next time you are in this type of place, stop and pray as soon as you recognize where you are and speak to our savior, he,s right where he always is and has been. He never leaves you, we forget to stay near him. Think about it...
Joh 6:35-40 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not. All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Heb 11:1
Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your patience with a bunch of folk like us. Lord, forgive our self absorption. Forgive us when we wallow in rough stuff. Lord, we try to follow and have faith in all things so we ask for a quick sight of what is really happening so we don't miss out on blessings because we are being selfish. Lord we honor and bless your name, in Jesus name amen
