What To Do In The Storms of Life

We all have troubles, trials and tribulations in this life. That's to be expected.

But what do you do, what should you do, when it seems like there is no hope, that the flood is going to overwhelm you?

It does not matter whether the trouble is physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, or all of the above. There is one thing that we must do, that must be our testimony.

I'll trust you, Lord.

Because my life belongs to You and You've never failed me, Jesus - I'll trust you.

Because You promised that you would never leave me nor forsake me - I'll trust you.

I John 4:10 on 4/10/09

As many celebrate on this day the death of Jesus on the cross, we need to be reminded in the midst of all the commercialization and degradation of this most holy of seasons what the true meaning of Good Friday and Easter is:

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins"

He said that greater love hath no man than this - that a man lay down his life for his friends.

We weren't born his friends, but his enemies - because we were born in sin - yet he counted us as his friends when He died for us! Isn't that love?

You're Next In Line...

I was reading Sheila Bragg's recent post on ActiveRain regarding our responses to the challenges of life, and she said PUSH! (pray until something happens), which is just how every circumstance of life should be faced. As I was thinking about what she said, it brought to my mind an old Shirley Caesar song - You're Next In Line For A Miracle. This is for everyone and anyone who is going through hard times right now - whether they be financial, emotional, physical or spiritual - just keep on believing in God and know that you're next in line...
