So, we like most other folks, have a lot going on in our lives and in the lives of those we love. Some are struggling with physical ailments, some with financial shortages, some with emotional hurts, and others with just trying to figure it out.
Not to beleaguer the point but things get hard from time to time. As we have mentioned before, you are either coming out of a storm, in a storm, or headed for a storm. The one consistency in this life is that it changes. There are some enormous challenges to overcome. There are tough decisions to make. There are great trials to face. This world can be quite difficult, BUT, our GOD has overcome this world and is walking us through ours.
Today's word is something that is a mix of some things I have heard and the way I sum it up and paraphrase it in my mind. It simply says, "When life gets hard, determine to be strong. What challenges you today, strengthens you tomorrow."
Life will have its ups and downs, its ebbs and flows. There will be happy days and sad days. There will be good days and bad days. There will be fun days and merciless days. We can only control how we allow these ebbs and flows, these ups and downs, to influence us. We can choose to sit down and wallow in it, which is okay for a little while, or we can choose to face it head on, get stronger, and be better prepared for the next obstacle.
Look, there are no easy answers. Sometimes, things just suck. However, GOD is ALWAYS with us. He is always helping us, encouraging us, strengthening us, blessing us. IF we will determine to bow down and bow up, we might be surprised at the strength we find.
Be Blessed,
