Psalm 118:24
24
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Life is a mystery don't you think. I think a roller coaster is a great way to explain it. You have the ups and downs, you turns, your twists, maybe a loop de loop moment. Roller coasters are built in various different ways and they all start differently. Some fast and some crawling up a steep slopes. Life's abit like that, so many different things come into our lives, some for the better some to tear us down. Some times we feel like we are hitting a brick wall, some times life is just a breeze. We may get comfortable, or find ourselves too stressed to sleep and/or relax. Often we feel we've failed, or we aren't enough. There are days were your so excited you could explode with joy. I don't know where you are in this present moment, but no matter what, every day is a day to Praise the Lord. I know there are days you know you should be grateful but your struggling or even forget to praise the Lord because of everything going off in your life. I know when we lived in Yorkshire for years I felt like I was hitting a dead end, and I couldn't move forward because of what felt like a wall in front of me. But no matter what I did I couldn't get past it or break through it. I knew deep within we shouldn't be there where we were, but we couldn’t financially just pick up and leave. Although we were willing too should the Lord ask it of us. It wasn't till my husband got the job down here in Cambridge did I truly come to realise the constant peace, and joy and release of the lord. I never realised how held back I was till I was out of my comfort zone and into what God had called us to do. Even though we are not loaded with money, and 90% of every thing we have was given to us, praise Jesus. I can't help but just be in awe with what God has done for us and still continues to do. Our life doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense how we have survived since we got married 6 years ago. But the good lord like his word says he provided and some how made it so we are never without. Does that mean it's been easy, No. we get our challenges, obstacles getting in our way, attacks from the enemy, trying to take us off focus. Trying to make us doubt, or make us question God. But our heavenly Father promises to never leave us or forsake us, he promises provision, to take care of us, his angels encamp around us. No one ever said being a Christian was going to be easy. And if they did then they are lying. Jesus said we'd face trouble and hardships. But he promises solutions and guidance. He's not about to push you into the storm and say bye have fun. No your his precious masterpiece, and he adores you, just released your anchor in him and let him help you ride out the storm. God intended life to be beautiful, marriage to be beautiful. But he also gave us the Gift of free will, what we do with it is our gift to him. Question is will it make him happy or upset. don't allow the gift of life to go to waste by allowing the devil to win your heart, and lead you to death. Allow God to show you the true gift of life. Allow him to show you his amazing love, peace and presence in your life. There is nothing on this planet that compares. I remember thinking when I was younger than what I am now, how can people spend hours in prayer and reading the bible and being still in his presence. I used to fall asleep waiting for a response. Then asking God how can I be still when every time I try I fall asleep. But the more God has shown me and the more I pursue to build a relationship with him.I have come to realise how. And now I just love spending time singing and praying and reading the word and being still and allowing his presence to embrace me. Don't panic if you are like i was and struggle. God knows a searching heart, one that is truly eager to be intimate with him. He will help you. God bless you.
Let's pray
Father God, each day is a blessing from you, each day you give us air to breath and strength to get through. Though we don't always recognise what you do for us, I thank you for everything you do do. Lord I pray for the one reading this, I pray that You continue to help them grow in spirit and in truth. May they go each day filled to over flowing with your grace, peace and love in their life. Help them not to compare their prayer life and bible reading sessions with someone whose know as super spiritual. We all make that mistake from time to time but Father we are all on our own race in life. And you won't stop till you have completed everything in our life. I praise your name. life is truly I wonderful gift. Help us realise what we have and be content in it.In jesus name amen.
