Better Days

Greetings!
 
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."  --John 16:33

We live in a sin-sick world, and bad stuff is going to happen, but we can't lose heart. Better days are on the way! God's word says that He is in control. He owns the day. And, here is the thing...God gives us free will, we have a choice in how we conduct our lives. We can live a life that is wrapped up in the Lord, or we can live a life that is wrapped up in the things of this world. God's desire is that we choose wisely...that we choose life...

There is so much anger, and frustration in our world today. People feel that they are not being heard...that their needs are not being met, and that society has forgotten about them or wants to forget about them, but they are not forgotten. God loves all of us, and if no one else is for us...He is, and if He is for us, nothing can stand against us. God says that in Him is not only life, but life more abundantly. When we really trust God, there is a place in Him where there is this unexpected joy. This place where the cares of this world are resting at the feet of our Lord...where we can be assured that our lives matter, and that our voices are being heard. But, it can only happen when we surrender it all to Him.

Keep praying. Our prayers have power, and it is one of our most powerful weapons. God hears the prayers of His people, and He not only hears...He moves. We can't give up. We have to keep believing that God is in control, and that He knows the way. Keep looking up, and know that better days are ahead.

Until next time...

Be blessed
