RANDOM ADVICE FOR ORDINARY DAYS!
Some mornings spring up with great energy and excitement while others drag themselves unwillingly out of bed. With
that in mind let me offer you some random advice for those times when you may
be a bit weary and worn.
1.
Cast the burden of the present, along
with the sin of the past and the fear of the future, upon the Lord, who will
not forsake his saints!
2
Cor 1:10
10 Who delivered us from so great a
death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
Ps
55:22
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD,
and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
He has delivered us in times past –
is delivering us now – and will deliver us in the future.
2. God can use your small faith. Do not
discount it or toss it away!
Luke
17:6
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree,
Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should
obey you.
3. Expect friends to fail you. We live in a
failing world. Trust God alone!
Ps
146:3-5
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor
in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he
returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of
Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
4. Serve the Lord with fresh vigor especially
when there are no visible results. Anyone can go from one victory to another.
It takes real character to press ahead in the face of defeat!
Gal
6:9
9 And let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not [if we don’t quit].
5. Find a safe place to hide when the going
gets really tough!
Ps
3:3
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for
me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Ah, Lord God! Sometimes we do not
feel like the “more than conquerors” that Paul said we are. Allow us to run and
hide behind your shield today. Lift up our heads, oh Lord. AMEN
