Life can be hard. Each one of us

Each one of us experiences different things, different joys and most definitely different tribulations.

July 1, 2023

Life can be hard. Each one of us experiences different things, different joys and most definitely different tribulations. At this very moment, someone may be experiencing sickness, a love one passing, loss of a job, financial hardship, or even divorce. Sure someone can say to you, “I know what you are going through.” But in reality, no one really knows except for one. God! God gives us hope! He is the one sure thing in our life. God gives us strength, courage and perseverance. And in this life of ours, we choose to make the best of it or feel sorry for our self. The choice is ours and ours alone. Today, know that God is with you, that God is walking with you, giving you what you need moment by moment. The hard part is trusting God to get you through the situation you are in. Isaiah 40:28-31 reminds us, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” God is there. He is always there. Go to Him. Trust Him. Believe! God Bless. Amen.
