Need a Boost?

I remember doing some training that required climbing up some fairly rugged terrain. While we were all men, and manly men at that, there would be points during the climb where everyone needed a little help - a pull here, a push there. It's amazing what a little boost can do.

Another boost we all need from time to time is our batteries. There are few things more frustrating than a dead battery, especially if you are in the middle of nowhere, knowing no one. Hopefully, someone will come along, with jumper cables, and get you going.

Today's word is Psalm 31:24, NIV, which reads, "Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD."

When things get disheartening and it feels as though you can't climb another step or that no one will ever come along and help you get going again, take heart. Our Father knows our needs and will send us what we need.

I am amazed at how there have been times when I was really down and someone gave me a boost. Maybe it was an encouraging word, maybe a song on the radio, maybe a card in the mail, maybe just a smile. There have been other times that something I read made the difference. The thing is, that when you hope in the LORD, He will always help.

Need a boost? Take heart and hope in the LORD.

Be Blessed,
