Are you in a battle right now? It could be any kind of battle, I sure am. Sometimes you know what to do and others it seems like you are clueless. It's funny that my devotions yesterday was "God, Our Defender" Psalm 62:6 & today was "Don't Panic" Hebrews 10:23. So today I thought about how God always goes before his children and clears the way just like in the Old Testament he went before the people. We teach our children that God is everywhere and he always existed and he is always at work. So why is it that we fail to believe even in the hard times of our life he is not at work for us fixing everything that gets messed up or we mess up? And in these times we want to give up because it's too hard. The hill is too steep to climb; what you don't see is God ahead of you with a line tied off to his waist and is pulling you, you just feel the weight of your own body thanks to gravity!
Our struggle right now is tough but show me where life is easy... really, I want to go there! Even on a deserted island you have troubles, think of the hurricanes, my most favorite place in the world I would still be subject to hard times. It's best that you give your "stuff" to God and leave it in his hands for him to take care of. He created it all, read Genesis 1 & 2. He also created you it's in Genesis as well, so he knows all about us. He knows what makes us happy, sad even mad. He knows our needs Matthew 6:25-34 and he loves us more than all his created things on this earth. I know for sure he will go to bat for me and help me in my toughest hours. I can hold my head high that I am not giving up and I am staying the course with God by my side. Paul tells us to fight the good fight to finish the race we have begun, 2Timothy 4:7-8, and that God is faithful to finish the good work he started in us 1 Thessalonians 5:24. Don't give up stay in the race it's much better being in the race than sitting on the bench. Being in the race means you aren't giving up on God, he won't give up on you so don't walk away because it gets a bit rougher than normal. And remember no matter the troubles in your life if you are a Child of the Risen Lord you have HIS foot steps to follow. God Bless...
