A SURE WAY TO GET THROUGH A BAD DAY 22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where it looked as if there was no way out? Most of us would have to say yes, because it is a natural part of being human. We don’t have to feel this way, for there is an answer… put all of your trust in God! Jeremiah wrote in Lamentations about God’s faithfulness. We all, as Christians, have experienced God’s faithfulness in our lives. Our problems are never too great for God to handle, but we must trust Him with our situation.
As of late, it seems as if I have had to trust God’s faithfulness more than ever. The good news is that He has once again proved that He is faithful. God does not bring calamities into our lives, but He can certainly lead us through them. I know I have worn the pulpit out preaching the message of prayer and reading the Word of God, and our difficulties in life are much of the reason.
You can come to God easier when you are in fellowship with Him than when you only call unto Him when you are in difficulty. God enjoys fellowship with all believers and that is one of the reasons that we can always see His faithfulness.
Often we take for granted His day by day mercies and we are less than grateful for them. When you call 911, you have faith that there will be a quick response. When you are close to God, you know He also will respond quickly. It may be that our problems will not be solved quickly, but, He will be with us instantly when we call for Him. His presence makes any situation bearable. Please join me in a renewed effort to protect our individual relationship with God. I think we all will be surprised at the great difference it will make.
Trusting in God’s faithfulness,
