I know a few folks that have really good reasons to be focusing on the negative, at this time in their lives. It is rather overwhelming how many I have been with lately. There isn't much I have been able to help with except to listen, cry and pray with them.
These sweet people are looking towards the day when all of what they have been dealing with is over. They really want to be able to just move on with their lives.
But even though they have so much to be sad about they also know that God has their back and they understand that He is not the source of all their troubles.
They remind me of Job. He had so many things go wrong in his life, from health, to family and friends that failed him.
He did not understand all of the why's but he loved and worshiped God no matter what....
Job 1:22
22 In spite of everything, Job did not sin or accuse God of doing wrong.
Sometimes we can shorten or lengthen our troubles by our attitudes and actions. If through it all we strive to be positive and hopeful, we can become positive and hopeful. The longer we stay down in the dumps and negative the harder it is to get out of that mood. Sometimes we just sit around blaming God and wondering "why me"?. Nothing good will come of this. But if we remember to call on God, for help, relief can and will come.
Psalm 34 says.....
17 When God's people pray for help,
he listens and rescues them
from their troubles.
Yes, life can be a challenge sometimes. Really, more than sometimes. This world can bring down troubles on us, right and left. But we have an outlet. We have more support than we can even imagine. Our creator loves us with so much grace and compassion. He wants to take away all that haunts us. Let Him...
Call on Him!!
Let him rescue you!!!
Let Him love you!!!
Blessings!
Blessings!
