Today’s Scripture: He will lift you up!
You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.
Psalm 18:35 (NIV)
Do you ever wonder why we go through times where we worry more than we might’ve before? Why do we allow ourselves to get worked up sometimes, and other times we face similar situations without that same worry & stressing?
We worry because in those times we have forgotten that Our God is all-powerful!!
We worry because we forget about God’s Omnipotence!! We forget what He’s capable of and we start to believe we must take care of things ourselves. We start panicking!! Getting ourselves all worked up & into the false narrative that says, “hey, kid…you’re on our own”. And in the reality of our circumstances, we realize that on our own, we just might not be able to handle it! And you know what? That’s exactly right…. WE sincerely cannot handle it! Those are the honest to God, Facts!! AND…That FACT—is precisely why we need Him!!
God wants us to realize and admit our weakness so He can be strong on our behalf.
God often wants to do through us, what is beyond us, on our own —in our way, in our weaknesses and beyond our comprehension. So, when you’re faced with a situation in which you feel weak or powerless, rather than worry, call upon the Only One who takes care of the situation, all & every situation! Every circumstance!
The sooner we realize that we can’t do it all on our own (and more importantly, that we don’t have to!!)… we can stop making our lives more complicated, difficult & harder than it has to be! Because no matter how hard we work at trying our hardest, only to once again, find ourselves stuck & coming up short, whenever we attempt to navigate through this life on our own!
Trying and trying but over & over again, continuously falling short due to who we are! Due to our limitations as fragile, temporary residents, humanity flowing through our veins. BUT—The Good News is found when we find and surrender to The One, Jesus Christ, God’s Own Son! When we accept The Truth, we come to realize that we were never designed, nor equipped to go at this life alone, never created to do this life—feeling helpless & powerless—by ourselves. That’s when God’s power is able to take care of whatever concerns you have! Knowingly, we can come before Him, without a shadow of a doubt, and with the upmost confidant endurance, that Jesus Christ is now and forever, always by our side! Therefore, knowing THIS TRUTH—We are Never, ever alone!! Hallelujah!!
Now with confidence, anything we need is up for the asking!
So, now how do we go about life with Jesus Christ with us? Ready for us to do our lives In Christ?
We must first humble ourselves, admit we are powerless and ask for His Strength to get us through. God’s Word tells us in James 4:10 to, “Humble yourselves before the sight of The Lord, and he will lift you up.”
David; the gifted Psalmist, says in Psalm 18:35 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great” (NASB).
That verse illustrates the gentleness of God that empowers us when we’re weak and when we call upon Him for help in whatever it is that we need to do. He stoops down from heaven to where we are and makes us great. He is able to do through us what is beyond us. Whatever your circumstance, if you’re feeling weak and full of worry right now, His power is available to you for the asking.
God has done His part—the choices we make from here, are our own.
God bless!!
In His Service,
