“Take your concerns to God!”

Leave a comment

I’m sure you have bought a product that
instructs you that when you are done with it to
please properly dispose of the trash it leaves
behind. Things that are not handled correctly
or thrown away or about in a wrong manner can
cause more harm than good. The same is true
for the trash that we carry within us.

Injustice. Unfair treatment. We’ve all dealt with
the effects of it at one point or another in life.
It’s what we do with it that makes all the
difference. We can bury it deep within and let
bitterness take root, we can lash out through
anger, or we can properly dispose of it. We
can take those concerns to the Lord and let
Him work it out instead of getting ourselves
worked up over all the wrong feelings we’re
holding inside. Be done with it and give it to
God today.

“Keep on believing!”

Leave a comment

What are you believing God for today? Let’s
make it clear, God is not our magic wish
granting genie whom we run to whenever we
want something. But, He is faithful to keep
every word He promised.

Keep believing. Keep hoping. Never sway at
the promises of God. Abraham “staggered
not at the promise of God through unbelief;
but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;”
(Romans 4:20). Staggering moves one away
from the source of belief, while hope draws him
nearer. Sometimes the wait is long (Abraham
waited 25 years for a son), but in the end,
the blessing that will come from faithfully
holding on will pay off.

“There is an expected end!”

For God’s people, there is an expected end!
Whether it was for the captives of old, or for
those struggling through the murky mess of
today, there is hope at the end of everything
we face.

How your story started out, or even in what it
is speaking today does not determine how it
will end. With hope, we keep we keep our
eyes and our hearts lifted to the One who
knows the beginning from the end, and we
plant our faith in Him.

 

“No matter what we face…”

No matter what we face, we don’t face it alone.
Through every possible hardship, through
every possible scenario, God is with us. Not
only is He with us, but He is watching over His
people and protecting them.

Sometimes things may seem to be too much to
deal with – overwhelming, in fact. Sometimes
the fire and the flood before us or coming after
us can seem scary and dangerous. But God
is here for His people. He promises, “I will
never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Heb. 13:5)
Lean into the promises God and His strength
and He will see you through the difficult times.
