Today's thought - 14 August 2026 (Different)

 

Our Business homecell on a Friday is an all men homecell. This morning our Pastor addressed issues men have that is quite common and not always known or men do not openly talk about these things. I guess pride takes over and shame follows and men keep these things mainly to themselves. Very rarely they talk and more rarely seek help. Luckily all things have a solution for men and woman.

If you are struggling with something and you do not know how to deal with it, I would suggest that you see someone about it. Even if you think it to be embarrassing, you will be surprised how many other struggle with similar issues and even more surprised to see that there is a way to help you.

The important thing is to not become isolated and think you are an island and there is no hope. In fact, this is exactly what Jesus tried to establish when He was here. He went and dined with the outcasts and talked to the rejected ones and helped the people that were seen as a curse in the eyes of the world. He healed leapers and stood up for people who made terrible mistakes. He was always kind and loving towards the lost and the hurt in people and He casted out demons and saved people from the religious burdens the so called righteous bestowed on them. He made life with God more than just living but living for God and He shared this with all who was lost and broken.

So, please do not think of yourself as a burden or a problem or an outcast or any other lie the enemy likes to spread. Jesus died for you and that alone should give you insight in how much He loves you and how important you are to Him regardless your situation, your past or your issues.

My verse today comes from Habakkuk 3:19, “The LORD God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills”.

This is what the Lord wants you to hear today. No matter where you are or what you are facing. God is with you and He is in it with you. He will be your strength and as deer is surefooted on the highest and most unreachable places, He will surely make you walk safely in the midst of your struggles. His Word and His wisdom will be the rock you stand on, and His grace will be the walls that surround you. He says “That those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”. (Isaiah 40:31)

Have an awesome day, my friend. You are a winner and you will always be. Do not give up and just take another shot. Try again, seek again and trust again. The Lord our God will never leave you nor forsake you.
