A plan to keep me alive

I'm a people watcher. I don't know about you, but, I sit back and watch folks. Not like some weirdo, just staring and making folks uncomfortable; more of someone who just observes how people interact and react. You can learn a lot from watching how others respond to things.

I have seen people go through some really difficult and trying times. I have seen perseverance and resilience and toughness that seems beyond human capabilities. I have seen folks push through when others would have dropped into the fetal position and given up. While some folks are just mentally stronger than others, I do think, for GOD'S children, there is a certain something that can make us stronger than others?

Today's word is Psalm 54:4, NLT, which reads, "But GOD is my helper. The LORD keeps me alive!"

When we know that GOD is on our side, we need not fear anything or anyone. We can rest assured that He is working all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Does that mean that we shouldn't go through bad things? No, we live in a completely broken and fallen world. It does mean, though, that we do not go through it alone - He is our helper. We can also rest assured that the LORD keeps us alive. He provides everything we need to make it through this life - food, shelter, family, etc. - but, most important, He has made a way for us to live eternally with Him!

Do you find yourself fighting through some things? Don't worry, we all are. And, we are here to help one another as we go through this life together. Find some folks that will help you walk through this valley to the next hilltop. Find some folks that will remind you that GOD is our Helper, and He is working even when we can't see it. Then, remind yourself that not only does He have a plan for you in this life, He has made a plan for eternity, a plan to keep me alive!

Be Blessed,
