When All Else Seems Lost

       

 At times the world around us will begin to shake. I know from experience the only way to stop the trembling is to trust in God that He will make my foundation strong. When circumstances go wrong it is our natural inhibition to blame God, or lose sight of His control. Even though it is against my natural grain, today I am consciously deciding to choose God.

I can only start off by iterating that I am 100% a sinner, beyond no doubt.

Gossip is on the tip of my lips. Anger is stirring in my heart.

I am anxious and hurt.

There is a quick fix…

I can hurt those I love and talk behind their backs. I can allow anger to control my decisions and behaviors. I can allow my anxiety and pain to control my thoughts. But this is not a person I want to be. ONLY an all powerful, all knowing, all just God can give me the strength to fight these urges, and He can help you too.

No matter the sin you may be struggling with GOD can free you. Whether it is sexual immorality, alcoholism, lying, cheating…Not one human is perfect. Lets challenge each other to be strong in the name of the Lord, to glorify His name. 

James 4:11 (ESV)

Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law. You are not a doer of the law but a judge.

Ephesians 4:29 (ESV)

Let no corrupting talk come out of your moths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Watching my tung is only one of the many things I need to daily work on. I found myself in a car crying hurt from the sin of the world and the sin inside of me, when I caught myself asking "Who Am I?" Who am I really? I didn't need to be dwelling on my pain. I had a Holy Creator holding me safe in His arms. His outstretched arms that will always find me as far as the east is from the west, no matter how far I run. WOAH MIND BLOWN. In the middle of my self-pity, I was reminded by an ever chasing God that He loves me. He has a love that is far beyond my understanding. I felt ashamed that I was  tangled in my own worries and hurt that I was distracted from being obedient. Obedience far out ways my emotions. 

My prayer for you is that God will reveal to you his unchanging love for you. This love will change the course of your life. Instead of going with the grains of this world you will have a father who will give you the strength to persevere and endure the unfathomable.
