Hey there, Reader-Friends!
These are hard times.
I don’t know if others have noticed, but it seems that I’m not the only soul in this world having a hard time lately. One of my very best friends has been having some life trials, my daddy is having some issues healing from his recent surgery, and I have even noticed that lately, there are many ladies in the blogosphere writing about an increase in anxieties. And of course, the American heat wave of the century doesn’t improve anyone’s mood! Amen?
If you have been reading for awhile, you probably know that I am currently experiencing an attitude adjustment, and if you are new to my blog then now you know too! It’s good. Hard. And good. Anyway, God has been filling my hands full with verses of instruction for the heart makeover I requested.
Here is one that I hope cheers up the reader that feels like she/he currently has nothing going right:
When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Psalm 94:18,19
This is how I understand the verse above in the context of our “nothing-is-going-right” times of life:
“My foot slips”= I’m on my way to the ground. I’m about to fall on my tail and it’s going to suuuuuck!
“…your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up”= The ever present love of Christ caught my arm! The gentlemen He is!
“When the cares of my heart are many”= When I’m stressed way, way out…
“your consolations cheer my soul.”= The Holy Spirit within me speaks the oh so needed to be heard words: “Everything will be okay.” I find rest and shelter from the storm in the arms of the Lord and a motivation to keep going in his word.
If you have had the thought that nothing is going right; if you are so stressed that you feel like you are about to break; or if you feel alone and that you don’t have anyone that truly cares about you, reflect on this very certain truth:
Chin up ladies and gentlemen! It’s going to be alright.
