Psalm 9:10 (NKJV) 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
How hard is it to get out of bed and start our day with Joy in our hearts and a beat to our step?
How hard is it to rejoice knowing that this is the day that the Lord has made?
How hard can it be sometimes to love on someone when our own situation keeps pulling us down?
It can be very hard if we try to do this on our own strength.
We can’t do what God has shown us to do on our own. We don’t have what it takes. Our emotions get in the way. Our pain and suffering tell us to do something else.
We walk the path God has for us, by what? By His Spirit.
Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
If we don’t walk by the Spirit, the strength, discernment and understanding we need to carry this out is NOT there.
We can’t kid ourselves today. We live in a real world with real problems. We live in a place and around people that can make things very hard for us at times.
Don’t even think for one second that God has asked us to stand alone. Don’t think for one second that He has left us to take care of these situations on our own.
He will give us JOY, even in our trial. He will give us a song to dance to on the hardest days. His love will carry us through and we will rejoice as we put our trust in Him!
Amen.
