Did You Ever Have One Of Those Weeks?

 

I could have just screamed last week. I was letting myself feel so closed in, even far away from God and just downright sick in my heart. I even felt like God was not listening to me even though I know better...(Psalm 138:8;). I guess in the real world you call that a pity party. Where are my so called friends? Where is my pastor? Where are those who keep telling you they will be right there for you no matter what? You know how it goes. We go through trial after trial and seemingly go through one just to get to another one. It takes its toll on you and you wonder, is there an end to all of this? 'Oh woe is me'! Then you get news that a friend has died and your cat is sick, maybe even unto death, and you hear about another friend who has lost her beloved pet and the dollar is falling and the world did not end on Friday, again!, You watch our country go down the tubes under corrupt leadership and wonder how much will bread or gas cost tomorrow or will there be any at all. OK, so now you know. I am a human. I am susceptible to feelings of pain and sorrow despair and loneliness.  I too need to lean on something or someone at times that will give me strength. You look at all this stuff and you say, Thank you Jesus. "For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day"! Then my strength returns and I look to Him...The Author and Finisher of my faith and I say, I love you Lord. Forgive me for my unbelief and my complaining. I need You more than anyone else. I will trust You before man. You are the Faithful One. You are my Lord. Then God hears my cry and gives back in return. Sometimes it is just something simple, like this YouTube clip that came my way. It's called "Lean On Me"!  Go Figure!  Listen to it and be encouraged and enjoy His touch today.

 

Blessings to you. PB

ARE YOU THE LIGHT JESUS ASKED YOU TO BE?

 With all that is going on in our mixed up world, it would be wise for true believers to let the light of Jesus shine in them. All throughout the Bible you will find that the prevalent theme is light. That is because light is one of God’s best weapons for spreading the Gospel. It all began as the Holy Spirit was hovering over the planet when it was not even formed and there was no life on it. Then He speaks light into existence, and from then on right through Revelation we are reminded over and over that our new home will be illuminated by the glory of God and it will be so well lit that we will not need the sun nor the moon. People have the wrong idea. They think we were created to shine in the light but in fact we were actually created to let our lights shine in the dark. There is so much darkness surrounding us because there is so much darkness in the world and that means we need to allow His Spirit to shine through us for others to see and understand the events about to take place. This book takes a look at those events and shows us how to let them shine through us for others to see and prepare.
