Psalm 31:2 (NKJV) 2 Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.
We have a Savior and He gives us eternal life. He also is here to help us through our everyday struggles, but yet we have a hard time crying out to Him and letting Him be that rock of refuge.
He is not done with us after we receive Him as our Savior. He is just beginning to work in our lives, if we let Him. We don’t have to walk through anything that this life dishes out to us ALONE!. We don’t have to do all the fixing up ourselves.
For instance, something people may be struggling with on their own is grieving. How do we get past it, to where we can continue living and actually feel joy again?
Or another thing we struggle with is when someone we love, or a close friend, hurts us badly. We may suffer from anger and bitterness because of it. How do we forgive that person and move forward, making new friends, still loving the old one, and without having bad feelings toward that person?
These are a few things that are impossible for us to do on our own. We can make the choice to forgive and so forth, but we need to cry out to Christ to help us in knowing how. It is the only way we will make it through, by letting Him save us from these things.
We wonder why we are tired and we can’t seem to get ahead on this journey. It’s time to give it up and stop trying to do it on our own.
We didn’t say to give up, but to give IT up, and let God SAVE us from it. Let Him help us. We need His strength and His power to get past it all.
Psalm 68:35 (NKJV) 35 O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
Take a few minutes today and ponder on the things that keep causing us to get worn out, tired and stressed, and give them to God so that He may fix them.
He has a way of showing us what to do, and it WORKS!! Amen.
