A
reminder for today
Guide
my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. (Psalm 119:133)
I woke up this morning with a tired feeling. I don’t know
if you have ever felt that no matter how hard you try things just don’t seem to
get to a point where they are normal. I must admit I’ll even settle for just
ok, yet the more we try and the more we change the less it seems to work. I
looked at my income versus my expenses and I must admit it was a horror movie
at best. Life seems so demanding all by itself that when we are burdened with
emotional issues we are moving closer to that edge where things become
unbearable. I got this picture in my head of someone crossing a desert with the
hope of finding water over the next sand dune just to get to the top and to see
another dune. How many dunes will we climb before fatigue takes over and we
become emotionless beings waiting for the end to come?
Standing on top of my dune today looking at all the dunes
around me with no sign of water (relief) I realised that I am looking in the
wrong direction. When I look ahead I see only dry sand with imminent death as a
result and I do not see the clouds forming above my head with the promise of
rain. When we look at life, and the burdens that lie so heavily upon us, we
miss the hand of God that hangs over us. When we focus on the world we will
never reach a place free from fear. Do not look at the dunes and the dark that
lies in the distance, but stand up and look up at the God that is sending you
the help you need. Look up at the saviour that gave His life and see His hand
coming to rescue you.
Lord don’t let us lose faith, but instead guide our steps
by your Word, so that we will not be overcome by evil.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
