It's All About Me!

In our last ladies Bible Study we talked about how this world seems to be centered on "everything is about us". The commercials on TV, plus the talk shows that speak about how we all have the power to change our own environments to make sure that we are totally pampered, totally happy, totally have all the things we want. According to some talk show hosts and even some popular pastors , all we have to do is think about the positive and that will give us the power to have anything.

But times are tough. The economy is stretched to the point of breaking. Health care, food, gas and everything it takes to survive are so costly that some of us can not even take care of ourselves, much less our families, without help.  

So when we see all the things we need and even the things that we just want, but cannot obtain, even though the world tells us we can and should, it makes us feel helpless and inadequate. There is so much sadness and depression. Desperation is rampant to the point of humans doing things that they might not have even thought of in our past.

We feel so useless and alone.  

Dear friends we do have help with the helplessness. We do have someone to turn to...
  

Hebrews 3:6


6  But Christ is faithful as a Son over His own house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope, firm unto the end.

Did you catch that? We have hope because we are Christ's. He is faithful to His own.  He loves us and wants nothing more than to give us peace and confidence.

This world cannot give us that! There are some who seem to have accomplished everything but they do not have the peace that only God can give, without their following Him. 

This world is unrelenting and times seem to be getting harder and harder for all. We can't just think "it" and have it. But we can have a partner who will support us all the way!!

Lean on Him, and as you follow Christ, He can lead you through the tough times and help you find the answers you need. 

Don't forget  We are His house!!
